Overview
4 Picos ICCD Camera - fastest intensified CCD camera
ultra fast gated ICCD camera
Based on 30 years of excellence in the development and progression of world-class, fast-gated Intensified CCD (ICCD) cameras, Stanford Computer Opitcs sets new standards of rapid, picosecond
time-resolved spectroscopy and imaging with the introduction of the 4 Picos ICCD camera family.
The 4 Picos ICCD camera series contains the very best from CCD sensor and gated image intensifier technologies. It is achieving a superior combination of rapid acquisition rates and ultra-high sensitivity down to single photon. Exceptional detection performances are accessed through high quantum-efficiency (QE) image intensifiers, up to 3.3 MHz photo-cathode gating rates (burst).
Extremely low jitter, low insertion delay gating electronics and picosecond-scale optical gating provide excellent timing accuracy down to 10 picoseconds, allowing ultra-precise synchronization of complex experiments through 4 Picos ICCD camera series comprehensive range of triggering options and input/outputs interface.
