Description

Fully Integrated Time-Tagger Unit
SPC-Compact integrates the top-of the line measurement capabilities of your favourite Becker & Hickl GmbH timetagger in a standalone processing unit. Perform advanced TCSPC experiments with the flexibility of an oscilloscope. Convenient touch-screen control, on-the-fly data visualisation and an intuitive GUI make SPC-Compact ideal for those that want to focus on the science.

Versatile And Effortless
SPC-Compact comes in multiple versions, with timing precision of below 1 ps, recording rates of up to 500 MHz, and up to 8+1 simultaneous channels. Ideal for everything from Quantum Correlation measurements to fluorescence lifetime FRET. Fully compatible with all typical geiger mode single photon detectors: SNSPDs, APDs, (hybrid-) PMTs, etc. Synchronize multiple units with GPS, White GPS, White Rabbit or similar interfaces.

Flexible Without Compromise
Whether in the middle of an extended optical bench or on a mobile trolley shared between labs, SPC-Compact provides direct and real-time feedback where other monitors are unavailable. Enhanced accessibility through USB and LAN: log on from another PC on the other side of the lab or from the comfort of the office.

Specifications

SPC-Compact is a fully standalone single photon counter with the best available time-tagging performance and the ease of use of an oscilloscope.
