MAIN FEATURES

Our Blue-Shifted Fiber-Coupled SPAD detector is specifically designed for pursuing fluorescence lifetime imaging and spectroscopy measurements. Thanks to its capability of being powered via a standard USB port, it will introduce a new paradigm for fluorescence lifetime-based applications, where it can be deployed with minimal effort in any type of environment.

Compactness

Compact dimensions (127x77x40mm) and lightweight (344g) allows for extreme portability. Furthermore, capable of also being USB-powered our SPAD detector could be used in a portable setup or even outdoors.

Spectral Response

The sensitivity of our SPAD detector peaks at 450nm, while its spectral response range spans from 370nm to 900 nm.

Key tech specs

Our fiber-coupled USB-powered SPAD detector yields a
<150 ps timing jitter coupled with 7cps of dark count rate. The throughput linearity is maintained up to 3.5Mcounts/s of incident photons.

Interface and connection type

Our SPAD detector has a SMA coaxial connector for a LVTTL 50 Ohm interface, working in a parallel and independent way together with orientation independent USB type-C ports for communicating over a proprietary FLIM LABS LVDS protocol with the FLIM Data Acquisition Card. USB type-C connector allows for user-friendly and low-cost interfacing as well as powering the SPAD.

Power Supply

The 2 options available for the power supply allow for flexible powering the SPAD detector via standard USB port or via a 2.1/5.5 mm coaxial connector using a wall-mount DC converter (recommended values are 9 V DC – 1 A max).

Fiber coupling

FC/PC fiber coupling offers flexibility for using our SPAD detector in any type of context boosting, together with USB powering, its adaptability for a plethora of different applications.

LED Status

A LED light is always there for providing real time feedback on the correct functioning of the SPAD detector.

Metal base

The case boasts a sturdy metal base punctuated with strategically placed holes, meticulously engineered for secure fastening onto both imperial and metric optical tables as well as optical breadboards.

B2C B2B Bespoke design

Since we engineer and develop all our products from scratch, our design can be customized. We could easily adjust the SPAD’s electronics specifications based on your needs.
