Description Perkinelmer Optoelectronics Provides Photon-counting Modules Based On Both Apds And
innovative Channel Photomultipliers.
Apd Based Single-photon Counting Modules The Single-photon Counting Module (spcm) Is A
Self-contained Photon Counter Which Covers The Wavelength Range From 400 Nm To 1100 Nm, With Photon
Detection Efficiencies Exceeding 70% At 630 Nm. It Has An Integral 2-stage Te Cooler, Cooler
Controller, Amplifier, Discriminator And Ttl Output Driver. It Also Contains A High-voltage Dc-to-dc
Converter And Is Powered From A Single 5 V Source. The Module Utilizes A Patented Active-quench
Circuit Which Allows It To Count Over 10 Million Photons Per Second. The Photosensitive Area Is 0.2
mm, and units are available with dark-count rates less than 25 counts/second.
Spcm-aq4c Single-photon Counting Array The Spcm-aq4c Is A 4-channel Photon-counting Card Capable Of
Detecting Single Photons Of Light Over A Wavelength Range From 400 Nm To 1160 Nm. Each Channel Is
Independent From The Others. The Spcm-aq4c Utilizes A Unique Silicon Avalanche Photodiode (slik )
With A Circular Active Area Whose Peak Photon-detection Efficiency Exceeds 60% At 650 Nm. Each
Photodiode Is Both Thermoelectrically Cooled And Temperature Controlled, Ensuring Stabilized
performance despite changes in the ambient temperature.
