Unlocking Precision: The Power of Multifunctional On-Board Event Filters in the PicoHarp 330

Streamline your photon counting experiments

In the field of quantum optics and time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC), precision and efficiency are paramount. The PicoHarp 330 takes these requirements to the next level with its low jitter and multifunctional on-board event filters. The latter feature specifically empowers researchers to optimize their data acquisition in real time and only keep what may be of interest.

What Are On-Board Event Filters?
The on-board event filters implemented directly into the PicoHarp 330, enable real-time filtering of photon events based on specific criteria. They help to pre-process data, ensuring that only relevant information is captured and stored. This reduces the recorded data size, often drastically and makes data analysis less cumbersome for experiments such as g(2) correlation, fluorescence lifetime measurements, photon pair characterization, and many others.

Key Benefits for Researchers

  • Real-Time Data Filtering:
    The filters allow users to discard events that don't meet custom criteria. This reduces noise and ensures the events are kept which may be of interest, minimizing the need for post-processing.
  • Enhanced Data Throughput
    By filtering out irrelevant events before data transfer, the system reduces the overall data volume. This allows higher data rates for the signals of interest, enabling efficient data handling even in demanding setups.

Why It Matters
These features save valuable time and improve the efficiency of your experiments. You can focus on analyzing meaningful data, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in quantum optics. Whether you're exploring single-photon sources or complex quantum states, the
PicoHarp 330's on-board event filters ensure you capture the relevant data with minimal effort.
