New 16 Channel Multi-Pixel Photon Counter (MPPC) Apr 1, 2009

Hamamatsu Photonics introduce a new member of the MPPC family, the new S11064 series which builds on the success of Hamamatsu’s single element MPPC detectors.

The S11064 provides a 16 channel array of 3mm by 3mm detectors giving a total effective area of 144 mm2.The new device utilizes a Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode structure for ultra-low-level light detection. The MPPC is easily connected to an external circuit for simple operation and is operated from a low voltage power supply (typically 70 Volts).The S11064 series is available in two pixel counts, 3600 or 14400. Each pixel contains a quenching resistor so that simultaneous photon events can be counted separately and with a high degree of accuracy. The devices feature typical gain values from 250,000 to several million, depending on the specific pixel number and feature high photon detection efficiency to UV and blue light, with peak sensitivity at 400 nm.
