Photon counting is a technique in many modern technologies such as medical imaging and LiDAR systems. Photon counting is needed in many aspects of the development process for these technologies from photodetector characterization to operation of the finished product. This thesis will serve to solve the challenge of quantifying photodetector performance using automating test equipment with known software packages such as MATLAB to be able tocharacterize photodetectors in an efficient manner. A custom MATLAB program has been developed to interface with various instrumentation using a General-Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) and a Prologix GPIB-USB controller that will be able to send …
