Day 2 started with several presentations on Avalanche Photodiodes and SPADs.\u00a0 Like other technologies and other applications, also the SPADs have come a long way in technology and in complexity.\u00a0 It seems that the “killer application” for the SPADs is lying in the medical world.\u00a0 But nevertheless others are mentioned as well, even the usage of a SPAD in a joystick and as a random number generator.<\/p>\n
After the SPAD session, the machine gun was loaded and fired again : 26 flash presentations of 3 minutes,\u00a0being the appetizer to make the audience curious for the posters.\u00a0 It is amazing to see how over the years the audience and the presenters got used to the flash presentations.\u00a0 Almost nobody went over the time limit.<\/p>\n
Later on the day the poster viewing session offered the opportunity to a closer interaction with the presentors.\u00a0 Many people attended the poster viewing, actually not surprising, because having 46 posters out offers enough information to make sure that one always can find some subject of interest.\u00a0 Also for the poster session it is way too difficult to describe the technical content.\u00a0 The subjects ranged from very detailed device physics (pinning voltage, saturation levels, feed-forward voltages, …), over image sensor architectures (TDI clocking in CMOS, gratings\u00a0in a\u00a0stacked imager, …), to circuitry (several\u00a0ADC architectures, …) to subjects on system level (specs for security cameras, …).\u00a0 All posters were hanging on the poster boards, except one.\u00a0 For the first time we had a walking poster : the author prepared\u00a0his poster on two boards, one hanging on his chest, one hanging on his back,\u00a0like a\u00a0walking advertising man.\u00a0 Instead of having the audience to choose the poster they would like to see, the walking poster man\u00a0went to the people he thought that might be interested in his poster.\u00a0 Or maybe he went to the people of which he thought they had to see his poster !\u00a0 Good marketing, good idea, thanks Bart.<\/p>\n
