| Summary: | This paper describes an experimental setup that has been developed to measure and characterise properties of silicon photomultipliers (SiPM). The measured SiPM properties are of general interest for a multitude of potential applications and comprise the photon detection efficiency (PDE), the voltage dependent cross-talk and the after-pulse probabilities. With the described setup the absolute PDE can be determined as a function of wavelength covering a spectral range from 350 to 1000nm. In addition, a method is presented which allows to study the pixel uniformity in terms of the spatial variations of sensitivity and gain. The results from various commercially available SiPMs - three HAMAMATSU MPPCs and one SensL SPM - are presented and compared. |
