Time-Correlated Single-Photon Counting System | SIMTRUM Photonics Store

Single-photon time counter
SIMTRUM'S Single-photon time counter-1ps is a device designed to accurately measure the arrival time of individual photons. They are widely used in quantum communication, fluorescence lifetime measurement, LiDAR, and high-energy nuclear physics. Their high temporal resolution and sensitivity make them essential components in modern quantum technology.

Features

  • 4/8/16 independent pulse input channels
  • Minimum resolution of 1 ps
  • 1 synchronization signal channel and 1 Mark signal channel.
  • 64-bit time stamp, supporting continuous measurement for 14 hours without overflow.
  • USB 3.0 and dual 10G Ethernet outputs, maximum continuous output rate of 400M Event/s.
  • Single-channel dead time of 5 ns, with continuous output of 120M Event/s per channel.hysics
 

Application

  • Fluorescence Lifetime Measurement and Imaging
  • Quantum Communication
  • LiDAR
