AUREA Technology – First all-in-one DUAL single photon counter

AUREA Technology launched the newly designed SPD_A_M2, the world’s first all-in-one DUAL single photon counting module. The SPD_A is a family of ultra low noise, high Quantum Efficiency near infrared [900 – 1700 nm] single photon detectors. The detectors’ Geiger-mode InGaAs avalanche photodiode and thermoelectric coolers ensure a low and stable dark count, with a performance superior to 5.0 x 10-6 per ns. Thanks to its exceptional sensitivity in high level detections, the SPD_A largely surpasses photomultipliers, or PMTs. While most photomultipliers count a QE below 1% in near infrared, the SPD_A boasts a QE that is adjustable up to 25%.
