Resumen

Uncorrelated SiPM Stochastic Pulse Generator. Digital solutions based on pseudorandom number generators and solutions based on purely Poissonian physical phenomena for generating random pulses present drawbacks such as a lack of randomness or the use of radioactive materials. Therefore, a new random pulse generator that allows for the simple and economical generation of pulses with a completely Poisson distribution without the use of radioactive materials is desirable. The invention relates to a random pulse generator comprising a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM), an analog signal conditioning stage, a controllable power supply, a software-controlled voltage loop, and a digital-logic processor based on a Programmable Logic Gate Array. This device allows for the generation of random pulses with a controlled and selectable average frequency. (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)
