TCSPC and Time Tagging Electronics

5-year limited warranty PicoQuant offers several modules for Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC), Multi-Channel Scaling (MCS), coincidence correlations, or event timing with temporal resolutions between picoseconds and milliseconds. Single channel as well as multichannel versions with either USB or PCIe interface can be provided. All units work in the histogramming mode and offer two time tagging modes. Their high quality and reliability are expressed by a unique 5-year limited warranty. The following table lists the main differences:
