Custom detectors can be ordered based on your chosen photocathode, including Hi QE options. Other options include power or camera. Please let us know your requirements and we will provide you with the exact detector you need.
Photonis integrates two fast photon timing detection technologies - photomultiplier tubes and microchannel plates - into one sensor.
You can choose 8 or 18 mm MCP and your chosen photocathode for use with a single anode. MCP-PMT is equipped with a single high-voltage connector and an SMA signal output for easy installation. The optional micro USB power supply will help you conduct experiments quickly.
MCP-MPT for LiDAR applications
Due to its high linearity, Photonis' MCP-PMT can detect from a single photon to several GHz in photon burst mode, and can detect up to 100 MHz in continuous illumination mode. In addition to extremely low dark rates, the new detector can also achieve a dynamic range of 8 orders of magnitude. These unparalleled timing characteristics, combined with long lifespan and high collection efficiency, make these MCP-PMTs an excellent choice for many demanding applications, whether in space or in the laboratory.
MCP-MPT photon detector
Photon MCP-PMT combines photomultiplier tubes with microchannel plates to form a fast timing detector, making it an ideal choice for single photon counting applications. We offer a range of customization options, including your chosen photocathode, timing, and output. Our MCP configuration can be ordered with a dual Chevron or triple Z-stack configuration for additional gain. MCP-PMT is an ideal choice for fluorescence imaging, Cherenkov imaging, and high-energy physics research.
Photonis also produces Planacon, a square MCP-PMT that can be tiled together to obtain larger images. Micro planar machines can also be used for medical imaging applications, such as PET scanning.
