Equipment for the development and characterisation of single photon sensors

The research equipment is intended for the development, characterisation, and validation of ultrafast photon detectors and multichannel readout and timing electronics in an extremely low-noise RF environment. It enables precise measurements of time resolution, noise, linearity, sensitivity, and stability of new detector prototypes using a femtosecond pulsed laser source. The system supports controlled optical measurements with reference photodetectors and precise sample positioning. The multichannel electronics will allow simultaneous acquisition and analysis of up to 4096 channels with a time resolution below 100 ps. The infrastructure is suitable for testing detectors and electronics for applications requiring ultrafast response and high-precision timing measurements.
