It offers 256×256-pixel photon-counting imaging with picosecond-resolution photon timing on a 64×64 macropixel grid, and supports software-configurable modes including TCSPC, high-dynamic-range photon counting, and coincidence-based detection. Target applications include machine vision, robotics, depth sensing, scientific and medical imaging, spectroscopy, and quantum technologies. The company reports significant pre-order volumes and will demonstrate the sensor at SPIE Sensors + Imaging in Edinburgh and VISION in Stuttgart. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Litavis is a CMOS single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) image sensor that unifies imaging, timing, histogramming and photon statistics processing on a single chip using in-pixel processing. It delivers 256x256-pixel photon-counting imaging plus picosecond-resolution photon timing on a 64x64 macropixel grid, targeting machine vision, depth sensing, scientific imaging and quantum sensing applications. _Engineers evaluating photon-counting sensor options can track new imaging hardware releases like this on daily.dev._ ### What resolution and timing capabilities does the Litavis sensor support? Litavis provides continuous 256x256-pixel photon-counting imaging under low-light conditions, alongside picosecond-resolution photon timing generated on a 64x64 macropixel grid. It also supports multi-event timing, letting multiple detected photons per excitation cycle be individually time-binned, plus in-pixel histogramming for temporal statistics beyond basic intensity measurement. _Anyone comparing imaging sensor specs for depth sensing or scientific work can follow hardware releases via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Photonics advance could enable compact, high-performance lidar sensors](https://daily.dev/posts/photonics-advance-could-enable-compact-high-performance-lidar-sensors-p9hhohvm4) · MIT News · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [AI Data Centers Embrace DWDM Co-Packaged Optics](https://daily.dev/posts/ai-data-centers-embrace-dwdm-co-packaged-optics-6pay424vn) · IEEE Spectrum · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [SiLC Introduces Eyeonic Edge 4D Vision Sensor](https://daily.dev/posts/silc-introduces-eyeonic-edge-4d-vision-sensor-ueod24jmm) · Embedded.com · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [New photonic device efficiently beams light into free space](https://daily.dev/posts/new-photonic-device-efficiently-beams-light-into-free-space-ukxgdz30w) · MIT News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/singular-photonics-launches-litavis-spad-image-sensor-syxfqdh2b) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Singular Photonics Launches Litavis SPAD Image Sensor","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/singular-photonics-launches-litavis-spad-image-sensor-syxfqdh2b","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/singular-photonics-launches-litavis-spad-image-sensor-syxfqdh2b"},"datePublished":"2026-09-10T13:07:30.313Z","dateModified":"2026-09-10T13:14:10.561Z","description":"Singular Photonics has launched Litavis, described as the world's first single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) image sensor that unifies imaging, timing,...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/10c07c48fdbda36583f019e50946dfa0?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/10c07c48fdbda36583f019e50946dfa0?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Quantum Insider","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Quantum Insider","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/7b14a6b34c1b464c9e8a88d9a0dac951","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/thequantuminsider"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/singular-photonics-launches-litavis-spad-image-sensor-syxfqdh2b","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"","timeRequired":"PT4M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Quantum Insider","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/thequantuminsider"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Singular Photonics Launches Litavis SPAD Image Sensor"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/singular-photonics-launches-litavis-spad-image-sensor-syxfqdh2b#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the Litavis SPAD image sensor from Singular Photonics?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Litavis is a CMOS single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) image sensor that unifies imaging, timing, histogramming and photon statistics processing on a single chip using in-pixel processing.
