An FPGA-based module for multiphoton coincidence counting
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a multi-channel coincidence-counting module for use in quantum optics experiments. The circuit takes up to four TTL pulse inputs and counts either 2-, 3-, or 4-fold coincidences, within a user-selected coincidence time window as short as 12 ns. The module can accurately count eight sets of multi-channel coincidences, for input rates of up to 84 MHz. Due to their low cost and small size, multiple modules can easily be combined to count arbitrary M-order coincidences among N inputs.

متن کاملSiPM used as fast Photon-Counting Module and for Multiphoton Detection
We demonstrate fast counting and multiphoton detection abilities of a Silicon Photo Multiplier (SiPM). In fast counting mode we are able to detect two consecutive photons separated by only 2.3 ns corresponding to 430 MHz. The counting efficiency for small optical intensities at λ = 532 nm was found to be around 8.3% with a dark count rate of 50 kHz at T= −7◦ C. Using the SiPM in multiphoton det...
