TCSPC Life Time (PICOQUANT)
TCSPC electronics
Hybrid photomultiplier detector // PMA Series
The PMA detector is a single photon sensitive, fully integrated, fast time response and low noise photon sensor from Pico- Quant. The PMA integrates a fast Photomultiplier Tube (PMT), a high voltage power supply and pre-amplifier. For selected models thermo-electric cooling and automatic overload protection are available as an option.
These devices are built in a gold plated iron or nickel coated aluminum housing to achieve high level of RF and mag- netic shielding and protection against the interference with other devices. The built-in pre-amplifier is specially targeted at timing sensitive applications such as Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC).
