FL920 Spectrometer -
Data Acquisition
TCSPC offer the highest dynamic range and temporal resolution
available. For TCSPC data acquisition we incorporate our PC
plug-in card the TCC900 into our spectrometers. This computer
controlled card with PCI interface ,
incorporates all the necessary electronic modules required for
Time Correlated Single Photon Counting. This includes constant
fraction discriminator, variable nanosecond delays, time to
amplitude converter and large memory for multi-channel
analysis. All that is required to perform TCSPC measurements
is an optical trigger pulse from the excitation light source
and the raw detector output from a single photon counting
detector connected to the START and STOP inputs of the TCC900
respectively.
All the important operating parameters of the TCC900 are fully
computer controlled. This includes discriminator thresholds,
zero crossing levels, frequency dividers, shifting delays and
time offsets, time range and number of data channels, switch
between forward and reverse mode, stop conditions.
The TCC card features:
• PCI interface
• Time ranges 2.5ns to 50microseconds full scale
• Time resolution from 610fs/ch
• Ultra-low jitter <25ps
• Forward and Reverse modes
• Exceptional differential non-linearity
• Integrated shifting delays
