Time Tagger for Highest-Throughput Applications Ahead

New Standards for Data Throughput and Scalability

We are preparing to expand the HydraHarp family with the upcoming HydraHarp 500 L. This new variant will set new standards for data throughput and scalability. With outstanding timing resolution, excellent timing precision and up to 64 flexible channels, the HydraHarp 500 L is engineered for highest-throughput applications powered – for the first time – by USB 3.2 Gen 2×2, making it ideal for rapid, large-volume data acquisition.

Key features:

  • Up to 64+1 channels
  • Flexible trigger options
  • Digital resolution of 1 ps
  • Timing jitter of 2.5 ps RMS
  • Ultrashort dead time of < 680 ps
  • White Rabbit, external FPGA

With the release of the HydraHarp 500 in 2025 and the forthcoming HydraHarp 500 L, we continue to redefine what is possible in photon timing, delivering precision, scalability and flexibility for today’s and tomorrow’s photonics research.
