Abstract: In order to perfect the theoretical basis of Multi-Pixel Photon Counter (MPPC) serving
as the detector of laser ranging or laser radar, the detection and false-alarm probability of MPPC
were studied in this paper. The model of the detection and false-alarm probability based on
MPPC was proposed and the analytical expressions were derived by using Poisson theory. The
numerical analysis was also done. Some interesting characteristics were found which were not
existed in conventional single point detectors. The numerical results show that the system
requirements of laser ranging can be obtained just by adjusting the photoelectron equivalent
threshold of MPPC, without the gating technology, if using MPPC as the detector. The sensitivity
can reach the photon level and the photon number can be resolved. This model and results have
certain significance in theory and to promote the application of MPPC in laser range and laser
radar for high sensitivity and fast detection.
