Thermoelectrically
(TE) and Liquid Nitrogen Cooled CCDs
The Symphony line of CCD detectors is a family of array detectors from HORIBA Jobin Yvon - the world leader in optical spectroscopy. Because of their unique combination of outstanding sensitivity, high speed, low noise, ruggedness and durability, all in compact and economical packages, these array detectors have totally revolutionized spectroscopic detection with the ultimate performance for a wide range of spectroscopic applications.
InGaAs
Arrays
The HORIBA Jobin Yvon family of NIR array detectors, the Symphony Series, feature spectroscopic grade InGaAs detectors in a linear array of 512 or 1024 pixels. Spectral coverage from 0.8 to 1.7 microns is standard. With high quantum efficiencies up to 85%, and low dark noise, these detectors are ideal for demanding applications in the NIR.
Synapse (TE-Cooled and USB-2)
Synapse CCD is the complete solution for modern spectroscopic measurements from simple absorbance to the most difficult Raman or photoluminescence measurements. This compact CCD detector is designed to interface with all HORIBA Jobin Yvon spectrometers and provide highly sensitive detection for any experiment.
Linear
Array Detectors (CCD and PDA)
Compact linear detection system offering outstanding sensitivity and acquisition speed. It is ideally suited for UV-VIS-NIR absorption, colorimetric, emission and many fluorescence measurements.
ICCDs
The i-Spectrum Two family of Intensified CCD detectors is designed with scientific grade thermoelectrically cooled CCDs and a grade (1) gateable image intensifier.
Single Channel Detectors
Photomultiplier Tubes (PMT)
PMT detectors typically offer much higher sensitivity than solid state detectors and operate effectively in the UV/VIS and NIR. However, typically their spectral coverage is limited to about 950nm. PMT detectors also require high voltage power supplies.
Photon Counting Modules
Including Picosecond detection modules for TCSPC.
Solid State Detectors
Solid state detectors are opto-electronic devices used to convert incident photons to electronic signals. Available with wavelength ranges from below 200 nm to beyond 20 µm, solid state detectors offer sensitivity, dependability, cost and efficiency.
