ID230 Infrared Single Photon Detector

ID Quantique‘s ID230 Infrared Single Photon Detector

Free-running InGaAs/InP photon counter with extremely low dark count

  • Free-running
  • 25% quantum efficiency
  • Low dark count rate: 50 Hz
  • 150 ps timing resolution

The ID230 delivers reliable and robust telecom-wavelength single-photon detection, with the performance and versatility of a semiconductor system.

With the ID230, unwanted detector noise is uniquely low. Thanks to an advanced cooling system and best-in-class device control electronics, the temperature of the ID230’s InGaAs/InP avalanche photodiode can be cooled stably to -90°C, giving detector dark counts as low as <50 Hz.

Specially designed for applications with asynchronous detection, this single-photon counting module can detect up to 25% of all photons arriving through its optical fibre-couple input (MMF or SMF), with a user-definable detector deadtime of 2 μs to 100 μs.

Get the most out of your ultra-sensitive photonic experiments and applications with the ID230 Infrared Single-Photon Detector today.
