LifeSpec Blue - 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
