PHOTON COUNTING DETECTORS

MPD

SILICON PHOTON COUNTING DETECTOR

30 picoseconds Timing Resolution

The PDM and PDF series photon counting detectors have a photon detection efficiency of 49% at 550nm and 30ps timing resolution. These modules have ultra low dark counts and low-power consumption making these modules very robust, ie: will not get damaged with high light levels.

SPC3 SERIES
SINGLE PHOTON CAMERA



The SPC3 series single-photon counting cameras are based on the new Single Photon Imaging Detector (SPID), which enables parallel single photon counting by means of a monolithic array of 2048 SPAD (64 rows by 32 columns) with integrated counting electronics.

FAST GATING
DETECTOR

The Fast Gated Single Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) module is a compact detection module capable of gating a silicon SPAD for wide dynamic range optical measurement.

The module includes a fast pulse generator with gating transitions below 300 ps at repetition rates up to 80 MHz, with fully programmable ON time and excess bias. The differential front-end electronics picks up the avalanche pulse with low timing jitter.

SUPER CONDUCTING NANOWIRES FROM QUANTUM OPUS

HIGH DETECTION EFFICIENCY, LOW DARK COUNT AND NO AFTERPULSING

Quantum Opus has developed Single Photon Counting detectors based on superconducting nanowires. The nanowires have >90% efficiency. Our system is very compact – the cryocooler sits in a 19” rack that is 3U high. The detectors are silicide based (reason for the high PDE and nice plateau), but the detectors operate at 2.3K so the cryocooler is very simple and DOES NOT REQUIRE any recharge or re-evacuation. System can be upgraded to 32 detectors at any time and we can also offer an air-cooled compressor or a portable system that includes a compact transportable enclosure, 120VAC air-cooled cryocooler, included vacuum pump and auto-pumping system, with “one-button” cool down.
