Abstract

Time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) has been established as the preferred choice of detection for high resolution depth profiling in challenging scenarios due to its excellent surface to surface resolution and high optical sensitivity. This presentation will describe several transceiver systems for underwater imaging based on a range of CMOS silicon single photon avalanche diode (Si-SPAD) detector arrays. Laboratory based experiments and field trials were conducted in several scattering underwater environments, demonstrating imaging up to 7.5 attenuation lengths and ranging up to 14 attenuation lengths when using average optical power up to 50 mW.
