SLR2000 Detector

Developed by Photek

Characteristics:

  • Microchannel Plate Photomultiplier
  • Active cathode area: 12 mm diameter
  • Cathode material: Multialkali
  • Quantum Efficiency: >13%
  • Minimum Gain: 3 x 10 6 for single pe detection
  • Segmented quadrant anode with separate SMA connectors
  • Risetime at anode (10% -90%): <140 psec all quadrants
  • Max time delay between quadrants (symmetric design): < 8 psec
  • Timing jitter < 28 psec RMS, <40 psec between channels
  • Externally gated at 2 KHz rate
  • Simultaneously provides high precision timing of single photon
    events and subarcsecond pointing corrections in photon-counting mode !
