The MultiHarp 150 – a new generation of high-end timing electronics for applications in quantum optics

05 Jun 2018

As the world market leader in TCSPC timing electronics, PicoQuant is proud to announce the MultiHarp 150, its newest generation of bench-top event timers with USB 3.0 interface. Thanks to its outstanding data throughput, you can fully exploit the count rate limits of time-resolved single photon experiments. With 4 or 8 detector channels and a common sync input, the MultiHarp 150 is ideally suited for photon coincidence measurements in quantum optics. It is world's first commercial event timer on the market, which is prepared to be used in a White Rabbit timing network. This feature allows two modules to be synchronized over ranges as high as tens of kilometers, making it the ideal time tagger for long distance quantum entanglement experiments.

The MultiHarp 150 achieves outstanding ultra short dead time for commercially available timing electronics with time resolutions below 100 ps. It is capable of acquiring peak count rates above one billion counts per second with a time resolution of 80 ps.

Of course, the MultiHarp 150 integrates completely into PicoQuant's line-up of robust, top-of-the-line timing electronics. Like all models from the Harp Series, the MultiHarp 150 provides three time-resolved data acquisition modes: a forward start-stop histogramming mode as well as two time tagging modes. Each input channel has an internal adjustable timing offset working over a ±100 ns range, which eliminates the need to adjust cable lengths in the experimental set-up. All of these features make the MultiHarp 150 an easy-to-use and versatile instrument, which can also be used for a wide range of time-resolved applications in life science, materials science, or metrology. Thanks to its robustness and high quality, PicoQuant is proud to provide a unique 5-year warranty for the MultiHarp 150.
