Ne ear 2yofThe LynXéa_VIS is a new generation of “all-in-one” high-performance visibleTimeCorrelated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) solution ideal for lifetime, time-resolved
and coincidence measurements of any low-level-of-light and fast events in the visible.
By combining the “world-class” very-low-level-of-light SPD_A Single Photon Counterand the TCSPC technique, the LynXéa provides fast, accurate and sensitive lifetime and time-resolved measurements with a time bin resolution of 65 ps rms.
The LynXéa fully integrated in the same box, one or two independent high photon
detection efficiency Geiger-mode Silicon avalanche photodiodes with a Time to Digital
Converter. Thus, it does not require any external computer plug-in counting cards.
In addition to its elegant and ergonomic front panel display, the LynXéa provides
plug-and-play Personnal Computer connection via its high-speed USB 2.0 interface.
It is controlled by its user-friendly graphical user interface software, which enables
the measurement parameters set up and adjustment, and also the display andsaving of the measurements curves, histograms and data.
LynXéa_VIS is the only “all-in-one” visible TCSPC available today in the industry!
