ime-dependent single photon counter

描述

Time Tagger series products are time-to-digital converters with unique data processing architecture, especially suitable for time-dependent single photon counting, time interval counting, coincidence counting and digital protocol analysis.

Time Tagger is widely used in many fields including quantum technology, single molecule microscope, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, laser ranging, particle physics and precise time protocol synchronous testing.

Easily Realize Your Research Ideas

Time Taggers powerful software engine provides you with rich data processing functions. Correlation, one-dimensional and multi-dimensional histograms, multi-channel coincidence counting, etc. can be easily run in real time, allowing you to easily turn innovative research ideas into reality.

excellent time resolution

Time Tagger’s root mean square time jitter as low as 4 ps and dead time as low as 2.1 ns are far superior to similar products on the market, which can meet the demanding requirements of your innovative applications.

Onboard event filter

Time Tagger’s unique onboard event filter enables you to filter out input signals unrelated to measurement on the hardware side without transmitting them to the software side via USB, which effectively ensures high-speed transmission of input signals.

Flexible custom data collection

Time Tagger allows you to use any combination of input channels to customize your measurements. You can use a Time Tagger to read and record input signals from different hardware, or apply signals obtained from one input channel to different measurements at the same time.

high-speed data transmission

Time Tagger’s data transfer rate of up to 70 million tags per second provides the possibility to shorten the measurement time while ensuring the real-time processing capability in high-speed transmission.

powerful local hangar

Time Tagger supports a variety of programming languages and architectures including python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, C#, C and Mathematica. You can use our free native library and code examples to personalize design and operation experiments.
