Monolithic silicon photomultiplier array
An optical system may include a substrate and a plurality of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) monolithically integrated with the substrate. Each SiPM may include a plurality of single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). The optical system also includes an aperture array having a plurality of apertures. The plurality of SiPMs and the aperture array are aligned so as to define a plurality of receiver channels. Each receiver channel includes a respective SiPM of the plurality of SiPMs optically coupled to a respective aperture of the plurality of apertures.
