Photek partners with PETsys Electronics to develop a unique Photon Counting System with 256 channels
Photek have partnered with PETsys Electronics to integrate their custom timing TOFPET2d ASIC with Photek’s ultrafast AuraTekTM Microchannel Plate based multi-anode detectors. The integrated detector solution will deliver 16×16 pixel readout (256 total channels), with single photon timestamping resolution of 60 ps RMS, with 30 ps TDC bins and 480 KHz per channel maximum photon rate. The final system, to be launched in January 2022, will provide a unique technological solution for applications across: Microscopy, LIDAR, Quantum Information Systems and Particle Physics.

About PETsys Electronics:
PETsys Electronics provides electronic solutions for reading a large number of photo-sensor pixels in applications where a high data rate and excellent time resolution are required. Typical applications are, among others, in medical imaging (Positron Emission Tomography), LIDAR, and fundamental research projects. The company was founded at the end of 2013, building on 10 years of scientific research in a consortium of academic institutions, including the international research centre CERN in Geneva, and several major European universities. After the initial investment period, the company already shows profits since more than 3 years.
