Photon-Sensitive Detectors

Photon-Sensitive Detectors

Reliable, fast detectors for single-shot or irreversible experiments

Photek manufactures a complete family of detectors. Example products include:

  • Photomultiplier tubes
  • Image intensifiers
  • Photodiodes
  • Multi-channel PMTs
  • Magnetic focus tubes
  • Demagnifier tubes
  • Vacuum imaging detectors
  • Image diodes

Each product is built to order. When applicable, customers can select from multiple sizes, various levels of gain, and choose the applicable photocathodes, phosphors, and so on. Many of the available detectors have gating capabilities. Photek’s detectors offer leading global performance, particularly for their photomultiplier tubes which are known to be the fastest in the world. Photek’s PMTs display rise times down to 60 ps, pulse FWHM to 100 ps, and gating down to ~2 ns!  

With each inquiry, customers are paired with a Sydor technical expert for an application consultation. Our team works alongside our customers to identify and configure the ideal product given the customer’s application. Photek’s products can be supplied with various accessories including power supplies, gate modules, pre-amplifiers, and more. Begin building your photodetector today.
