Laser Components and Picoquant have forged a strategic partnership to develop and commercialise photon counters designed to meet time-resolved/non-time-resolved application needs.
The highly sensitive avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are developed and manufactured by Laser Components, with the electronics supplied by Picoquant.
Two different series are being developed.
Photon counters for non-time-resolved applications are available under the trademark Count through Laser Components distributor network.
The second series - t-SPAD - stands for modules targeting time-resolved applications.
This series is available through Picoquant's sales network.
The assembly and subsequent testing of both types of modules are performed at each company's headquarters.
The Count and t-SPAD modules feature high quantum efficiency and low dark-count rates.
