Product Summary

The spcm-aqrh-12 is a self-contained module that detects single photons of light over the 400nm to 1060nm wavelength range - a range and sensitivity that often outperforms a photo-multiplier tube. The spcm-aqrh-12 uses a unique silicon avalanche photodiode with a circular active area that achieves a peak photon detection efficiency of more than 65% at 650nm over a 180μm diameter. The photodiode of the spcm-aqrh-12 is both thermoelectrically cooled and temperature controlled, ensuring stabilized performance despite ambient temperature changes. The applications of the spcm-aqrh-12 include LIDAR, Photon correlation, spectroscopy, Astronomical observation, Optical range finding, Adaptive optics, Ultra sensitive fluorescence, Particle sizing.
