Photon Counting Industry Links
Links to detectors and other photon counting sources are provided as a convenience. Marina Photonics has confidence that the end user can discern fact from specs spin. Marina Photonics specializes in sustained Gigahertz Gated TCSPC Photon Counting that is AFFORDABLE.
Dead time is the time when a photon arrives and is not counted — from overlapping photons, FIFO limits, reset times, or pulses too narrow to count. Many "Photon Counters" are just detectors with an amplifier-discriminator and TTL pulse out that don't "count" at all. Marina Photonics supplies loss-free 1.6 GHz time-correlated single photon counting with lossless USB3 computer input at SUSTAINED 400 MB/s.
