Jobin Yvon, Optical Spectroscopy Division, introduces its Symphony line of CCD array detection systems. These detectors have been designed for extremely low signal level detection, or ultra high-speed acquisitions required in time domain spectroscopy.

Compatible with all high-quality, scientific grade CCD chip formats, the Symphony detector is an indispensable tool for current and future spectroscopic applications.

Features include a 16 Bit ADC with 20 kHz to 1 MHz readout rates including an ADC upgrade capability, onboard memory data storage and software-selectable gain. Cooling is by high performance Thermo-electric (TE) or Liquid Nitrogen (LN2). The CCD chip temperature is software controlled, allowing for maximisation of quantum efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio. Use of a Fast Ethernet Network Interface provides 100% data integrity, ensuring against transmission errors.
