The information extracted from the characterization of Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) is a key element to their future technological development. These experimental data allow SiPM manufacturers to refine their devices and make them more efficient. As there are several methods of characterization across the scientific community, it is essential to define measurement standards to obtain...

The nEXO experiment will operate an ultra-low background TPC filled with $5$\,tons of isotopically enriched liquid Xenon~(LXe) to search for the neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay of Xe-136. The detector will use $4\,\text{m}^2$~of SiPM tiles operated at~$-104^{\circ}\text{C}$ to collect the scintillation light from any events in the xenon. There are strong requirements on the...

Characterizing the underlying processes contributing to a light field has wide ranging applications throughout physics. For instance, knowledge of the mode structure is vital for engineering sources of nonclassical light that minimize loss and decoherence of quantum information due to coupling to unwanted modes. Photon-number statistics are used to characterize a variety of optical systems...
