Abstract A novel type of avalanche photodetector with Geiger mode operation, known as a Silicon PhotoMultiplier (SiPM) provides an interesting advance in photodetection and is already an alternative to traditional PMTs in many applications. The state of the art of the SiPMs—their main properties and problems—are discussed.
