SPAD module C16533-050GD

1 ch SPAD module (for VIS to NIR region) The C16533-050GD series is a photon counting module that can detect low-level light. These modules consist of a thermoelectric cooled single photon avalanche diode (SPAD), an amplifier, a comparator, a SPAD bias circuit, and a temperature controller. The photosensitive area is φ50 μm, and such small photosensitive areas offer a low dark count. These modules operate by simply connecting to an external power supply (±5 V). Features Single photon counting is possible High sensitivity in the long wavelength range Low dark count Low afterpulse Click here to view a full product spec sheet PDF.
