Our desktop system: focussing on precision
Our SNSPD desktop detection system comes with the cryostat and electronics combined at the table top with a separated helium compressor. Connected by flex-lines, it’s a very efficient and especially precise system as the separation reduces heat, noise and vibrations at the detector.
Hard facts:
- external helium compressor
- easy-to-use turnkey systems
- all necessary parts and electronics included
- automated vacuum systems
- low noise bias- and readout electronics
- closed loop cryostat
- up to 10,000 hours of continuous operation time
- 40 and more channels per system
- user interface via ethernet
- python based API
