SPC-QC-08-32
- Up to 32 Fully Parallel TCSPC / Time Tagger Channels
- Channels Similar to Those of SPC-QC-008
- Ultra-High Count Rate
- Fast Discriminators
- Ultra-Fast Readout
- IRF Width 38 ps, FWHM
- Timing Jitter 14 ps RMS
Description
The new SPC-QC-08-32 module runs 32 fast time-tagger channels or 28 TCSPC FLIM channels in a single standard PC. The individual channels have <14 ps RMS timing jitter, 1 ps minimum time-channel width, and 500 MHz peak count rate. Similar to the SPC-QC-008, the device features high timing stability, high throughput, compact size, and low cost per channel. Applications are quantum computing, photon correlation, time-domain diffuse optical tomography, and high-throughput FLIM. It works with all single-photon detectors, including hybrid detectors, SPADs, SIPMs, and SSPDs.
User-friendly device software allows for setup of measurement parameters, loading and saving of setup and measurement data, online display of results, and system optimisation. A LabVIEW library is available for user-specific programming of measurement software.
