The Princeton Lightwave PGA-600 Photon Counting Benchtop Receiver is a complete solution for single photon counting applications.
The receiver integrates an InGaAs Single Photon Avalanche Photodiode (SPAD) with all the necessary bias and control electronics.
The SPAD has been specially designed for single photon counting to provide high detection efficiency and low dark count rate.
The unit’s electronics utilize a patented technique to improve system performance. The unit supports internal and external triggering for synchronization with external equipment.
The front panel displays the number of avalanches detected in a selected time interval as well as control and diagnostic information.
All operating parameters and detection counts can also be accessed through the built-in RS-232 interface. The receiver is provided in a 3U 19” rack mount chassis.
