I'm looking into low-light detection using MPPC's and I am testing using the Hamamatsu C12332-01 evaluation module. I am looking for general hints, tips and tricks to maximize the performance of these modules.
We'd like to have a measure for the total amount of photons collected every 20-100ns (exact timing t.b.d.)
One of the things that surprised me was that the frontend of the evaluation board uses an OPA846 in a non-inverting (voltage) amplifier configuration; and not as a transimpedance amplifier. What would be the benefit of that?
Thanks!
