C10507-11 series C10751 series
®
Photon counting module with built-in MPPC
The MPPC (multi-pixel photon counter) module is a photon counting module capable of low-light-level detection. This mod-
ule consists of an MPPC device, current-to-voltage converter circuit, high-speed comparator circuit, high-voltage power sup-
ply circuit, temperature-compensation circuit, counter circuit, and microcomputer. The module also has a USB 1.1 port for
connecting to a PC. The threshold level (detection level for one photon) can be changed from a PC. The MPPC module is
designed to extract maximum MPPC performance and so yields excellent photon counting characteristics. The MPPC module
is expected to open up new applications in the photon counting region, including fluorescence measurement, DNA analysis,
environmental chemical analysis, high energy physics experiments, and many other fields.
The C10751 series conforms to EU EMC directives and has an FC-type optical fiber connector for easy coupling to an optical
fiber.
