Marina Photonics is dedicated to Gigahertz affordable Time-Correlated photon counting systems and has been supplying high speed photon counters since 1987. Affordable means less than $5000 for most complete systems. Affordable Continuous Streaming Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting Channel 1 - 1.6GHz count rate Channels 2,3 - 800 MHz count rates Three or four channels of photon counting are available with sustained count rates and no dead time or lost counts or FIFO limit. There is no start-stop reset time limiting sustained count rates. Once photon counting is triggered, the counter places photon counts in 1.25ns or 625 picosecond bins onto the disk until the process is stopped. The photon counter board has a manual or external input trigger to precisely start data collection. Data collection Start can also be software initiated
Specifications: 6.25"w x 4.25"h x 7"d including switches and connectors Internal 100-240 VAC 50/60 Hz 10W
Photon and gate and trigger inputs may be any level up to 3.2V, LVTTL GHz logic or PECL for better timing with positive or negative edges.
Trigger Start - GHz LVTTL (or any preset positive level greater than 0.05V)
GHz LVTTL Gating to select count windows for bursts of photons as short as 1.25 ns
Interface - USB 3 computer controlled acquisition at 200 Megabytes/second or 400 Megabytes/second Unlimited continuous streaming throughput. Please see the second tab above for a picture of the New USB 3 version
Software - IDL 3-D analysis software interface available that can be upgraded for custom applications. Any user software that can read binary files from disk may be used. Note: One year warranty applies to hardware and software updates.
