Silicon Multichannel
Discrete Amplification Photon Detector (DAPD)

Amplification Technology Inc. has developed a new solid-state semiconductor technology solution for low-level signal detection: multichannel Discrete Amplification (DA). The patented DA platform technology, invented by company scientists, is a breakthrough in the design of photon detectors, providing these detectors with unique competitive advantages.  Use of DA in semiconductor detectors increases their sensitivity markedly, and enables the creation of new detector systems for various applications including medical diagnostics, security systems, telecommunications, environmental monitoring and drug discovery.

Key Features of DAPD Single photon level sensitivity Wide spectral range Relatively flat spectral sensitivity curve Excellent voltage and thermal stability High photon detection efficiency Wide dynamic range Fast response	Applications for DAPD PET Scanners Medical Imaging Fluorescence Detection High Energy Physics Spectroscopy Biological Sensors Ladar and Lidar Homeland Security Confocal Microscopy
