quCR - Control and Read-Out Unit
Stand-alone control and read-out unit for photon pair sources.

The quCR is a stand-alone control and read-out unit for photon pair sources such as qutools' quED. It contains a laser diode controller, a counter module and a twin single photon detection module. Read more...
The laser diode controller combines a low noise current source and a temperature control unit for thermoelectric elements. Built-in safety measures ensure the safe operation of laser diodes. A connection to an interlock system is optionally available. The included counter features an integrated coincidence logic circuit with a tuneable time window. The LED display shows the counting rates of the two input channels and the corresponding coincidences. Additionally, the three channels can be read out via a USB connection. The twin single photon detector module (quTD) employs two multimode fibre coupled Silicon avalanche photo diodes. Their spectral responsitivity ranges from 450 nm to 1050 nm, with peak detection efficiency up to 40 %. Close...
