Spectral Characteristics of an Integrated Type-I Parametric Down-Conversion Source
9 Oct 2014In this work, a Research team at the University of Paderborn spectrally characterized a nondegenerate Type-I PDC source in Titanium-indiffused periodically poled Lithium Niobate (Ti:PPLN), where a pump photon at 532 nm polarized along the extraordinary crystal axis decays into two photons with the same polarization at around 800 and 1575 nm respectively.

iKon-M CCD Camera
Oxford Instruments AndorDesigned to deliver the ultimate in high QE, low noise performance, ideal for demanding, light-starved imaging applications. • -100 °C UltraVac™ TE Cooling • Up to 95% QE and extra-low noise floor • Multi-MHz readout for dynamic performance • Sensor formats up to 1MegaPixel • ‘Deep depletion’ near-IR version available • USB 2.0 plug and play connectivity • Compact and OEM-friendly The iKon-M CCD Camera benefits from negligible darkcurrent with industry-leading thermoelectric cooling down to –100°C, enabling use of significantly longer exposure times than other cameras on the market using the same sensors. The iKon-M platform offers Multi-Megahertz readout for rapid frame rate acquisition or fast focusing, along with direct USB 2.0 connectivity to PC. The integrated C-mount shutter (adaptors to other mounts are readily available) means that the iKon-M can be employed to great effect for low light microscopy, such as for detection of weak intracellular bioluminescence. A variety of sensor formats are selectable, including both full frame and frame transfer readout.
