MultiHarp 150 – new generation of timing electronics

Record-breaking multi-channel event timer for quantum optical applications

As the world market leader in TCSPC timing electronics, PicoQuant is proud to announce the MultiHarp 150, its newest generation of bench-top event timers with USB 3.0 interface. Its outstanding data throughput allows to fully exploit the count rate limits of time-resolved single photon experiments. With 4 or 8 detector channels and a common sync input, the MultiHarp 150 is ideally suited for photon coincidence measurements in quantum optics. It is world's first commercial event timer on the market, which is prepared to be used in a White Rabbit timing network. This feature allows two modules to be synchronized over ranges as high as tens of kilometers, making it the ideal time tagger for long distance quantum entanglement experiments.

Formal opening of PicoQuant’s Application Center in China

ETSC Technologies Co. Ltd and PicoQuant open up a show-room for time-resolved fluorescence test measurements

On 26th April, PicoQuant and ETSC Technologies celebrated the formal opening of PicoQuant Application Center China in Wuhan Future City at the heart of China’s Optical Valley. The new Application Center will be serving potential customers from all over China, providing them with the opportunity to perform test measurements with their own samples on PicoQuant’s time-resolved fluorescence spectrometers and microscopes. The center starts out equipped with the fully automated, high-end and modular FluoTime 300 spectrometer featuring most currently available accessories. In the near future the MicroTime 200 - time-resolved, single molecule sensitive confocal fluorescence microscopy platform will also be available for customer test measurements.
