04 Mar 2009 Photonic Solutions are now offering the full range of id Quantique’s high precision photon counting avalanche photodiodes (APD’s), together with their id300 short-pulse laser source. Offering the id100 series, id101 series and the id150 series for the visible range, id201 series for the infrared spectral range and the id400 series for 1064nm, these single photon counter modules are able to detect weak optical signals down to the single photon level. They offer best-in-class timing resolution of 40ps with record-low dead times of 45ns and out-perform existing commercial detectors in all applications requiring single photon detection with high timing accuracy.
id Quantiques’s id300 short-pulse laser source is an externally-triggered optical source that generates 300ps laser pulses at rep. rates from DC to 500MHz at wavelengths 1310nm and 1550nm. Used in combination with a variable optical attenuator, this source becomes an ideal and cost-effective single photon source. |
