Connecting the sensor to the filter
The SiPM has a cathode and an anode as can be seen in the schematic drawing below, the drawing also shows how the SiPM is oriented as a diode. A SiPM needs to be reversed biased, which means the voltage at the cathode is higher than at the anode. This way there is no current flowing until the electric field is so high the SiPM brakes down.
