id100, single photon detection module at VIS wavelength Apr 6, 2009

Single Photon Detector Module at VIS wavelength, based on a silicon avalanche photodiode. Low dark count rate, < 1Hz. Timing resolution of 40 ps. This counter is ambient light safe!

The id100 is an easy-to-use, self-contained module based on a silicon avalanche photodiode that can be integrated in every optical set-up. It outperforms existing commercial detectors in all applications requiring single-photon detection with high timing accuracy.

Key features:
- Broad spectral range: 350 to 900 nm
- Best in class timing resolution, jitter, of 40ps
- Low dark count rate: down to less than 1Hz
- Low dead time of 45ns
- Peak photon detection at 500nm
- Not damaged by strong illumination
- Fast active quenching circuit
- Standard 50 output with BNC connector
- Low bias voltage +5V

Available versions:
id100-20: with 20um active area and free space coupling
id100-50: with 50um active area and free space coupling
id100-MMF50: with 50/125 FC/PC Multi Mode Fiber coupling
