SINGLE-ELECTRON DETECTION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SOLID-STATE INTENSITY IMAGE SENSORS

Embodiments of the present invention include an electron counter with a charge-coupled device (CCD) register configured to transfer electrons to a Geiger- mode avalanche diode (GM-AD) array operably coupled to the output of the CCD register. At high charge levels, a nondestructive amplifier senses t...
