In this paper the miniaturization and performance potential of solid-state single-photon detectors are discussed in the context of lab-on-chip applications where high accuracy and/or high levels of parallelism are suited. Technological and design trade-offs are discussed in view of recent advances in integrated LED matrix technology and the emergence of new multiplication based architectures.SPADimagingbioimagingfluorescence lifetime imaging microscopyFLIMsingle-photon avalanche diodeAPDavalanche photodiodetext::journal::journal article::research article
