Problem
High‑speed, low‑light imaging applications require detectors that can sense single photons with nanosecond timing, but conventional cameras are bulky, power‑hungry, and generate massive data streams that are difficult to process in real time.
Solution
Novoviz provides semiconductor‑level SPAD (single‑photon avalanche diode) imaging solutions that integrate on‑chip processing directly with the photon‑detecting pixels. Their products, such as an asynchronous photon‑driven camera and a photon‑number resolver module, deliver single‑photon sensitivity, nanosecond timestamp resolution, and event‑driven output over standard USB interfaces. By embedding coincidence detection and threshold circuitry on the sensor, the devices reduce external hardware complexity, lower data bandwidth, and enable scalable deployment in demanding fields like depth sensing, obstacle detection, and space‑based imaging. The technology is offered as standalone chips, camera modules, or custom‑design services to fit specific system requirements.
Target Audience
Primary customers are OEMs and system integrators in aerospace, autonomous robotics, industrial inspection, and scientific instrumentation that need high‑speed, low‑light or single‑photon imaging capabilities.
