About Singular Photonics
Based in the United Kingdom, Singular Photonics Limited was founded in 2024 by Professor Robert Henderson, Dr Aravind Venugopalan Nair Jalajakumari, Dr Neil Finlayson and Shahida Imani as a spin-out from the University of Edinburgh CMOS Sensors and Systems group, and designs SPAD-based image sensors that integrate computation directly beneath the sensor array. The company sells two commercially available SPAD image sensor families. Andarta is a 5 mm by 5 mm computational SPAD sensor that carries out extensive on-sensor preprocessing, is reprogrammable for different imaging tasks and supports in-pixel autocorrelation, gated operation and ultra-high-speed imaging; it is applied to correlation spectroscopy, biomedical research and blood-flow monitoring. Sirona is a 512-pixel SPAD line sensor containing two SPAD types per pixel with on-chip time binning and histogramming, aimed at time-resolved multispectral beam-scanned imaging, Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence lifetime imaging, time-of-flight measurement and quantum applications. Sirona has been integrated into Renishaw's inVia confocal Raman microscope. Customers are instrumentation companies, scientific and medical research users and industrial machine-vision developers. The company earns revenue from commercial sales of its Andarta and Sirona SPAD image sensors and from sensor supply agreements with instrumentation companies. It confirmed it had commercially available products and was generating revenue in its first year of incorporation.
