Development of Streak Camera system

时间分辨发射光谱是学术研究中常用的工具。最简单的计时工具 分辨率发射是按时间相关的单光子计数(TCSPC)。TCSPC系统在中国无处不在 化学系。相比之下，条纹相机(SC)系统可以提供比 TCSPC，尽管增加了成本和复杂性。这项建议的目标是协助Axis Photonique 开发他们的条纹相机系统，以更好地适应更广泛的商业采用。 条纹相机是一种探测器，当与分光计配合使用时，可以测量时间 分辨发射，时间分辨率为10ps。来自Axis Photonique的系统甚至可以有时间 平均模式下1 ps的分辨率--业界最佳。相比之下，TCSPC的时间分辨率为100ps 通常是这样的。Streak相机系统的最大供应商是日本的滨松。滨松的系统成本 比Axis Photonique的同等系统多10万美元。滨松的市场地位出现了 由此向非专业人士销售功能齐全的产品。此外，滨松的产品知名度 显示其适用于各种应用程序的系统。从小到小的等价系统 Axis Photonique需要用户进行工程设计，并且更多地被视为一种开发 两性关系。此外，Axis系统还没有在同样广泛的应用中得到验证。 在这里，我们将为Axis Photonique提供工程解决方案以及对其性能的验证，以便 以进一步指导工程发展。这些发展的最终目的是扩大市场 蒙特利尔的Axis Photonique的可见性和市场空间使其成为全球光谱供应商 为各种各样的研究人员提供解决方案。

Time resolved emission spectroscopy is a commonly used tool in academic research. The simplest tool to time resolve emission is by Time Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC). TCSPC systems are ubiquitous in Chemistry Departments. In contrast Streak Camera (SC) systems can offer much better performance that TCSPC albeit with added cost and complexity. The objective of this proposal is to assist Axis Photonique in developing their Streak Camera system to better suit wider commercial adoption. The Streak Camera is a type of detector that when mated to a spectrometer can enable measurement of time resolved emission with a time resolution of 10 ps. The system from Axis Photonique can even have time resolution of 1 ps in averaging mode - the best in the industry. In contrast TCSPC has time resolution of 100 ps typically. The largest vendor of Streak Camera systems is Hamamatsu in Japan. The Hamamatsu system costs $100,000 more than the equivalent system from Axis Photonique. The market presence of Hamamatsu arises from it selling a fully functional product for the non-expert. And moreover the product visibility of Hamamatsu systems that shows its suitability for a wide variety of applications. The equivalent system from the smaller Axis Photonique requires engineering work on the part of the users, and is taken as more of a development relationship. Moreover the Axis system has not been validated on an equally wide array of applications. Here we will provide engineering solutions to Axis Photonique as well as validation of their performance so as to further guide engineering developments. These developments have the ultimate aim of increasing the market visibility and market space of Montreal's Axis Photonique to enable it to be a global supplier of spectroscopy solutions to a wide variety of researchers.
