Reconfigurable FPGA for Single Photon Measurements
1 min read
Summary
On April 15, Dr Jason Ball, an engineer at Liquid Instruments, is hosting a webinar discussing single-photon measurement with FPGA-based instrumentation, which delivers precision with picosecond-level precision and zero dead time.
Dr Ball’s webinar will cover the flexibility and speed of measuring single photons with FPGA hardware, which timestamps every photon event with a 10ps resolution, making it comparable to measuring the time light takes to travel a few millimetres.
The instrumentation is also reconfigurable, tracking up to four events in parallel.
This kind of setup offers an all-in-one toolkit for photon wranglers from Hanbury-Brown-Twiss experiments to decoding pulse-position modulated (PPM) data.
Liquid Instruments is a start-up that designs tools for experimental physicists, which are sold to universities and research labs.
Measuring single-photons has a wide variety of applications including LiDAR, medical imaging and secure optical communication, which require the highest degree of precision.
