ID Qube NIR Free-Running Operation
Now you can reach farther and measure faster with improved detection!
ID Quantique’s telecom single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) just got a major boost:
- 50% lower dark counts extend your measurement range.
- Low Noise is now standard, so that every detector delivers lower noise for your experiments.
- Cross-platform freedom enables seamless operation on Windows, Linux, or macOS via Python API.
The ID Qube series remains compact and cost-effective, but now it enables you to:
- Detect photons at longer distances
- Shorten your experiment time
- Integrate smoothly into your setups
These modules for synchronous and asynchronous single-photon detection feature:
- High-efficiency single-photon detection (up to 35%)
- Broadband detection (900—1700 nm)
- Optimization for free-running operation
- Precise timing (<200 ps jitter, typ. <150 ps)
- Ultra-low noise (<200 Hz dark counts)
Whether you are developing QKD, building a quantum network, or advancing imaging applications, the ID Qube is ready to deliver more — with less noise.
