Intensified Tpx3Cam, a Fast Data-Driven Optical Camera with Nanosecond Timing Resolution for Single Photon Detection in Quantum Applications

We describe a fast data-driven optical camera, Tpx3Cam, with nanosecond scale timing resolution and 80 Mpixel/sec throughput. After the addition of intensifier, the camera is single photon sensitive with quantum efficiency determined primarily by the intensifier photocathode. The single photon performance of the camera was characterized with results on the gain, timing resolution and afterpu...

Isolating the Effects of Microchannel Plate Parameters on the Ultimate Resolution in Time-of-Flight Detectors

This paper examines the effects of pore sizes and bias angles of the Microchannel Plates used in Time of Flight Detectors. Experiments were done to determine how the parameters of the MCP could be manipulated to minimize time jitter to ultimately improve the detection resolution of a Time of Flight detector. Efforts to control flatness of the MCP are also discussed.

Resistive Glass Drift Tubes with Air Stable Surface and Multiple Voltage Statges

Resistive Glass provides key benefits for ion mobility drift tubes, such as highly uniform electric fields with minimal radial inhomogeneities, simple one-piece construction and containment for counter-flow gas. The combination of uniform electric field and the turbulence-free counter-flow gas produces resolving powers of over 100. However, for some applications, the resistivity drift of Res...

Electron Generator Arrays Specification

Photonis patented ELECTROGEN™ Electron Generator Arrays (EGAs) consist of millions of precision glass tubes fused together to produce a uniform and mechanically rigid structure. They are processed such that, when a voltage is applied across the thickness, each pore produces a beam of electrons. With each of the millions of pores producing electron, the resultant electron flux is extremely un...
