The ID230 delivers reliable and robust telecom-wavelength single-photon detection, with the performance and versatility of a semiconductor system. With the ID230, unwanted detector noise is uniquely low. With an advanced cooling system and best-in-class device control electronics, the temperature of the ID230’s InGaAs/InP avalanche photodiode can be cooled stably to -90°C, giving detector dark counts as low as <50 Hz. Specially designed for applications with asynchronous detection, this single-photon counting module can detect up to 25% of all photons arriving through its optical fibre-couple input (MMF or SMF), with a user-definable detector deadtime of 2 μs to 100 μs.
