Overcoming the Technical Challenges of Single Photon Detection

Our natural desire to better understand the behavior in the world around us brought us the research field of quantum optics — the study of nature and effects of light as quantized photons. The rapidly evolving world of quantum optics has created a demand for a new generation of high performance detectors that can accurately … Continue reading

Redefining Single-Photon Detection Technology

Photonis single-photon-detection solutions are based on vacuum-tube detector technology. This technology combines high detection efficiency (QE) with an extremely low amount of dark counts (dark noise). After pulsing, the phenomenon in which a detector generates a pulse after it already has detected a photon is minimal, and dead time is non-existent. Photonis’s patented high-end microchannel … Continue reading
