In these devices, photons are individually sensed and counted. To count photons, the devices must have high quantum efficiency, deep sub-electron read noise and the ability to read-out in digital form at high speed. This all-invited content from the top image sensor researchers around the world, reviews the state of the art of photon-counting image sensors in a variety of configurations, including CMOS image sensors and devices using avalanche multiplication, and for visible photons as well as higher energy photons such as ultraviolet and x-rays. New methods of creating image information from photon-counting image sensors is also described. This new emerging technology will have applications in low-light scientific imaging for aerospace and defense, and in the life sciences. It may also have applications in cryptography, communications, security cameras, 3D imaging and photography. 606 $aPhoton detectors 615 0$aPhoton detectors. 676 $a539.77 700 $aFossum$b Eric R.$01368525 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910674010403321 996 $aPhoton-Counting Image Sensors$93394381 997 $aUNINA
