It is especially important to account for this effect in applications involving temporal coincidences of two or more photons registered by the sensor since in this case the cross-talk may mimic the useful signal. In this work, we characterize the cross-talk of the LinoSPAD2 detector, as well as perform joint measurements of the cross-talk and Hanbury Brown-Twiss two-photon interference, comparing and cross-calibrating both effects. With a median dark count rate of 125 cps/pixel, we report the average cross-talk probability of 0.22% for the nearest neighbor and also observe a long-range cross-talk of the order 2 ยท 10-5% for channels separated by up to 20 pixels.trueInterferometryPhoton detectors for UV, visible and IR photons (solid-state) (PIN diodes, APDs, Si-PMTs, G-APDs, CCDs, EBCCDs, EMCCDs, CMOS imagers, etc)Timing detectorsInter-pixel cross-talk as background to two-photon interference effects in SPAD arraystext::journal::journal article::research article
