Abstract
An apparatus for measuring photon information and a photon measurement device are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a signal conversion module for converting an initial signal outputted by the photoelectric sensor into a converted signal in a voltage form, an integral comparison module for integrating a difference between the initial signal and a feedback signal from the negative feedback module and generating a comparison signal based on a magnitude relationship between a reference level and a combination result of an integral signal and the converted signal, wherein the integral signal is a signal for representing an integral of the difference between the initial signal and the feedback signal, a transmission control module for controlling the comparison signal to be transmit based on a clock signal to output a digital signal, a negative feedback module for converting the digital signal into the feedback signal and feeding the feedback signal back to the integral comparison module, and a measurement module for determining, based on the comparison signal and/or the digital signal, an arrival time of a high-energy photon detected by the photoelectric sensor. The apparatus and the device require few circuit components, and can realize high-precision time measurement.
