Overview
The i-Spector is a solution dedicated to those users that need the versatility of a full compact single photodetection system for spectroscopy applications.
It is a fully-integrated tube designed to replace existing systems based on PMTs. This compact unit is based on a SiPM area (18×18, 24×24 or 30×30 mm2) with preamplifier stage, integrated power supply for SiPM biasing with temperature feedback loop and a monitor for temperature, current and voltage. The i-Spector can be controlled through Ethernet. The output is a fast analog signal that can be digitized or processed with a common Digitizer, MCA or discriminator/TDC chains.
i-Spector PLUS (Coming Soon) model integrates an additional Timing Unit that is able to correlate the detector signal with external signals. It is designed to perform event timestamping, ToF measurements, coincidence between multiple i-Spector modules and photon counting.
The device can be controlled via ethernet connection and provide an amplified signal on an analog output. If dynamic change of parameters and monitor is not required, the configuration could be stored in the internal flash and the module could be used as a stand-alone unit without any external interconnection except the analog signal output as a standard PMT. This module can be used in combination with 725 and 730 Digitizer families.
i-Spector can be coupled with CsI, LaBr, NaI(Tl), BGO, Lyso, and others scintillator.
i-Spector Web Interface. i-Spector module can be easily controlled through its dedicated web-based interface with no software installation. The user can monitor the status of the module, configure the HV and connection parameters.
