Abstract
Time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) has been established as the preferred choice of detection for high resolution depth profiling due to its excellent surface to surface resolution and high optical sensitivity. This presentation will describe an underwater transceiver system based on a planar CMOS silicon single photon avalanche diode (Si-SPAD) detector array, and interfaced with a graphics processing unit (GPU) for real time processing capabilities with video rates up to 25 Hz. Depth and intensity profiles of stationary and moving targets were acquired with the transceiver fully submerged in scattering water, equivalent up to 7.5 attenuation lengths.
