id100 SERIES

SINGLE PHOTON DETECTION MODULES - VISIBLE RANGE (350 - 900nm)


ID Quantique's id100 series offers compact and affordable single-photon counting modules with best-in-class timing resolution and low dead time. Based on a reliable silicon avalanche photodiode sensitive in the visible spectral range, the module is able to detect weak optical signals down to the single photon level. With a timing resolution of only 40ps and a dead time of 45ns, this module outperforms existing commercial detectors in all applications requiring single photon detection with high timing accuracy. The id100 has excellent timing stability up to count rates of 20MHz. To see TCSPC performance of the id100-50 and id100-20, click here.

The id101 series targets OEM applications by offering the world's smallest photon counter for the visible range. It consists of a standard TO5 - 8pin optoelectronic package. A CMOS chip combining a 50um diameter single photon APD and a fast quenching electronics is mounted on a thermoelectric cooler. Versions with optical fiber coupling - including singlemode, multimode 50um and multimode 100um - are available.
