Singular Photonics Launches Litavis SPAD Image Sensor

Insider Brief

• Singular Photonics launched Litavis, a CMOS-based SPAD image sensor that integrates imaging, timing, histogramming and photon statistics processing on a single chip.
• The sensor supports simultaneous intensity, timing and histogramming modes, with software-configurable acquisition and timing functions designed to reduce reliance on external processing hardware.
• Litavis provides 256 × 256-pixel photon-counting imaging and picosecond-resolution photon timing on a 64 × 64 macropixel grid for applications including machine vision, depth sensing, scientific imaging and quantum sensing.

PRESS RELEASE — Singular Photonics, an innovator in single-photon imaging, today announced the launch of its most advanced image sensor to date. Litavis is the world’s first single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) sensor using in-pixel processing to unify imaging, timing, histogramming and photon statistics on a single chip.

Designed to bring unprecedented flexibility and intelligence to imaging applications, Litavis introduces a software-configurable sensing architecture capable of combining photon-counting imaging, programmable time gating, and advanced photon timing within a scalable SPAD array platform.
