International SPAD Sensor Workshop (ISSW 2024) will be organized by Fondazione Bruno Kessler - FBK.
When: June 4-6, 2024
Location: Trento, Italy

Call for Papers & Posters

The 2024 International SPAD Sensor Workshop (ISSW) is a biennial event focusing on Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPAD), SPAD-based sensors and related applications. The workshop welcomes all researchers (including PhDs, postdocs, and early-career researchers), practitioners, and educators interested in these topics.
 
After two on-line editions, the fourth edition of the workshop will return to an in-person only format.
The event will take place in the city of Trento, in northern Italy, hosted at Fondazione Bruno Kessler, in a venue suited to encourage interaction and a shared experience among the attendees.

The workshop will follow a 1-day long introductory school on SPAD sensor technology, which will be held in the same venue as the workshop on June 3rd, 2024.
 
The workshop will include a mix of invited talks and, for the first time, peer-reviewed contributions.
Accepted works will be published on the International Image Sensor Society website (https://imagesensors.org/).

Submitted works may cover any of the aspects of SPAD technology, including device modelling, engineering and fabrication, SPAD characterization and measurements, pixel and sensor architectures and designs, and SPAD applications.
 
Topics
Papers on the following SPAD-related topics are solicited:
● CMOS/CMOS-compatible technologies
● SiPMs
● III-V, Ge-on-Si
● Modelling
● Quenching and front-end circuits
● Architectures
● Time-to-Digital Converters
● Smart histogramming techniques
● Applications of SPAD arrays, such as:
o Depth sensing / ToF / LiDAR
o Time-resolved imaging
o Low-light imaging
o High dynamic range imaging
o Biophotonics
o Computational imaging
o Quantum imaging
o Quantum RNG
o High energy physics
o Free space communication
● Emerging technologies & applications
 
Paper submission
Workshop proposals must be submitted online. A link will be soon made available.
 
Each submission should consist of a 100-word abstract, and a camera-ready manuscript of 2-to-3 pages (including figures), and include authors’ name(s) and affiliation, short bio & picture, mailing address of the presenter, telephone, and e-mail address of the presenter. A template will be provided soon.
The deadline for paper submission is 23:59 CET, Friday December 8th, 2023.
 
Papers will be considered on the basis of originality and quality. High quality papers on work in progress are also welcome. Papers will be reviewed confidentially by the Technical Program Committee.

Accepted papers will be made freely available for download from the International Image Sensor Society website. Please note that no major modifications are allowed.

Authors will be notified of the acceptance of their abstract & posters at the latest by Wednesday Jan 31st, 2024.
 
Poster submission
In addition to talks, we wish to offer all graduate students, post-docs, and early-career researchers an opportunity to present a poster on their research projects or other research relevant to the workshop topics .

If you wish to take up this opportunity, please submit a 1-page description (including figures) of the proposed research activity, along with authors’ name(s) and affiliation, mailing address, telephone, and e-mail address.

The deadline for poster submission is 23:59 CET, Friday December 8th, 2023.
