From Photon Detection to High-Speed Output

Performance and Integration Trade-Offs in SPAD and CMOS Image Sensors

Single-Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) and CMOS image sensors continue to push the boundaries of speed, sensitivity, and system integration. However, achieving optimal performance requires careful trade-offs across device physics, pixel architecture, readout design, and downstream data handling.

At Electronic Imaging 2026, SWIRLabs Founder & CEO Barmak Mansoorian will present a deep technical discussion on how early-stage photon detection decisions propagate through the entire imaging pipeline—ultimately shaping bandwidth, noise performance, power efficiency, and system scalability.
