Researchers have developed a megapixel photon-counting camera based on image sensor technology that uses single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs)
New method can measure large-scale quantum correlation of single photons, which until now would have required thousands of single photon counters
A look at how single photon counting is being used in a Horizon 2020 project, and a round-up of the latest commercial products
The new bh SPC-150NX TCSPC modules achieve a time resolution (IRF width) of less than 20 ps FWHM when operated with bh HPM-100-06 and -07 hybrid detector modules, based on Hamamatsu R10467-06 and -07 hybrid photomultipliers. This is considerably shorter than previously reported for these detectors. We believe that the detector / TCSPC combination described here delivers the best combination of time resolution, detection area, and sensitivity currently available.
