SIMTRUM's SPADλ is a photon-counting linear array with time gating and time tagging. The core of the detector is a SPAD array with 320×1 pixels.Photon counting with up to 555’000 frames per second and zero readout noise is achieved.Nanosecond time gating is coupled with 17 ps gate phase shift. Time tagging with 20 ps reso-lution and 130 ps FWHM precision is available.

Application

• Fluorescence lifetime imaging
• Flow cytometry

Advantage

• Increase FLIM frame rate
• Simplify multichannel detection
• Improve signal to noise ratio
