Optical Sensors - Photonics - Counters, Detectors, SPCM (Single Photon Counting Module)
Definition:
Optical Sensors under the broader category of Sensors & Transducers are specialized devices designed to detect, measure, and convert light (photons) into electrical signals. This subcategory focuses on advanced photonics technologies, including Photon Counters, Detectors, and Single Photon Counting Modules (SPCMs), which are critical for ultra-sensitive light detection in scientific, industrial, and medical applications. These components excel in capturing low-light signals with high precision, enabling applications like quantum research, fluorescence microscopy, and LiDAR systems.
Types of Products:
1. Photon Counters: Quantify individual photons for low-light-level experiments.
2. Optical Detectors: Convert light into electrical signals (e.g., photodiodes, avalanche photodiodes).
3. SPCMs (Single Photon Counting Modules): High-sensitivity detectors for quantum optics and biophotonics.
4. Time-Correlated Photon Detection Systems: Measure photon arrival times for time-resolved spectroscopy.
Purchasing Recommendations:
1. Application Alignment: Match detector specs (wavelength range, quantum efficiency) to your use case (e.g., UV-VIS for fluorescence).
2. Sensitivity Needs: For ultra-low-light scenarios (e.g., quantum cryptography), prioritize SPCMs with low dark counts.
3. Modularity: Consider modular detectors for scalability in lab setups.
4. Brand & Support: Opt for established manufacturers (e.g., Hamamatsu, Thorlabs) with calibration services.
Ideal for researchers, OEMs, and engineers requiring nanoscale light measurement reliability.
