Singular Photonics' Litavis represents a significant architectural shift in single-photon detection by integrating complex photon statistics processing directly onto the SPAD chip. This in-pixel capability reduces external hardware dependencies and latency, enabling more scalable real-time systems for machine vision and quantum sensing applications. The move toward unified on-chip processing marks a key evolution in sensor design that supports advanced AI inference at the edge without relying on massive data transfer bottlenecks.
Singular Photonics Launches Litavis SPAD Image Sensor

Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Singular Photonics, an innovator in single-photon imaging, today announced the launch of its most advanced image sensor to date. Litavis is the world’s first single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) sensor using in-pixel processing to unify imaging, timing, histogramming and photon statistics on a single chip. Designed to bring unprecedented flexibility and […]
Singular Photonics launched Litavis, a CMOS-based SPAD image sensor that integrates imaging, timing, histogramming and photon statistics processing on a single chip. The sensor supports simultaneous intensity, timing and histogramming modes, with software-configurable acquisition and timing functions designed to reduce reliance on external processing hardware. Litavis provides 256 × 256-pixel photon-counting imaging and picosecond-resolution photon timing…
