Single Channel Detectors

Scientific Detectors, Single Point Detectors

Large choice of PMTs, solid state, photoelectric detectors for custom spectroscopy solutions

HORIBA offers a comprehensive array of single point detectors for a wide variety of applications in spectroscopy and biomedical research. These are complete detectors including housings, power supplies and facility for cooling if necessary. Available on a stand-alone basis, or in conjunction with our monochromators and spectrographs these detectors allow you to configure a custom solution for your unique requirements. Many of our spectrographs have dual exit ports allowing you to have both a point detector for ultimate resolution and a multi-channel imaging spectrograph for high speed spectral acquisitions. HORIBA offers more choices and better specifications to ensure you can select the best components for your needs.

Characterization of Semiconductors with Photoluminescence Measurement System

Photoluminescence is the optical emission obtained by photon excitation (usually a laser) and is commonly observed with III-V semiconductor materials. This type of analysis allows non-destructive characterization of semiconductors (material composition, qualitative investigations, etc.
