Researchers Develop Tiny Detectors for Counting Individual Photons

Scientists have developed tiny detectors, referred as single-photon avalanche diodes (SPAD), for counting individual photons on a computer chip. These tiny devices generate a tick sound every time, when they detect a photon and hence, their performance is similar to mini Geiger counters.
