Abstract

A method for voltage stabilization of one or more groups of single photon avalanche diodes of a photodetector, wherein a digitizer is connected downstream of each diode. The method includes: detecting one or more signals of a signal path of the photodetector, which signal path comprises the diodes and the digitizers, with the same blocking voltage applied to the diodes; ascertaining a particular amplitude spectrum of the one or more detected signals; ascertaining a particular local minimum of the ascertained amplitude spectrum or spectra; controlling the applied blocking voltage based on the ascertained local minimum or minima.
