PGA-600 Single Photon Benchtop Receiver
The Princeton Lightwave Single Photon Benchtop Receiver is a complete solution for single photon counting applications such as quantum optics. The receiver integrates an InGaAs/InP Single Photon Avalanche diode (SPAD) with all the necessary bias and control electronics. The InGaAs/InP SPAD has been designed specifically 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 front panel of the unit displays the number of photons detected in a selected interval as well as diagnostic information. All operating parameters and values can also be accessed through the RS-232 interface. The receiver is packaged in a 3U 19” rack mount chassis.
