SPAD arrays are becoming a popular choice for measuring two-photon interference effects thanks to their high timing precision, fast readout, and high quantum efficiency. However, such sensors are affected by cross-talk that may mimic the useful signal. Even with a low probability of seeing cross-talk effect between neighboring SPADs, it was found that it still may reach the farther channels up to a half of millimeter away. Moreover, the use of microlenses that help SPADs achieve even better efficiency further boosts the cross-talk effect. In this work, we characterize the cross-talk effect and compare it to the Hanbury Brown-Twiss effect in the LinoSPAD2 camera, which has a linear sensor of 512 SPADs. Additionally, we compare the results between sensors with and without the microlenses. Finally, we present a timing calibration technique for the detector that utilizes the cross-talk effect.
