Lighting Imaging Tele Sensors Channel Photomultipliers Channel Photomultipliers Overview and Specifications . C H A N N E L P H O T O M U L T I P L I E R C P M Description PerkinElmer Optoelectronics, formerly EG&G Optoelectronics, is pleased to introduce the Channel Photomultiplier (CPM), a new ultra high sensitivity optical detector which replaces conventional photomultipliers (PMTs) and avalanche photo diodes (APDs). This device uses a unique detector principle, resulting in a pact design with ultra high gain, high dynamic range, extremely low dark current, and fast response. This high-performance detector offers fundamental advantages for analytical instrumentation applications such as emission spectroscopy, flourescence, atomic absorption spectroscopy, and bio and chemo luminescence. The CPM also delivers important advantages in life science products, industrial and medical equipment, and highenergy physics. Features - Ultra high anode sensitivity up to 107 A/W - Extremely low dark current, typically 3pA @ 106 gain - Very low equivalent noise input (down to 10 -17 W) - Very high stability in dark current (no ”bursts”) - High gain exceeding 108 - Very high dynamic range - pact dimensions - Wide spectral response through multiple window materials - High resolution - Fast response time - High immunity to magnetic fields - Rugged design When pared to conventional PMTs, the CPM improves anode sensitivity by one order of magnitude, while lowering dark current by one to two orders of magnitude. The noise level shows extreme stability over time, with no ”bursts.” The extremely low dark current results in a higher dynamic range than conventional PMTs and extends detectable limits for many applications. The CPM can be used in analog-DC mode, single...
