EG&G SPCM-AQR-13-FC Single Photon Counting Module on eBay (no relation to seller)

Posted on May 14, 2013 by David Prutchi Posted in Bell's Inequality Test, Chapter 8 - Entanglement, Single-Photon Counting Modules (SPCMs), Single-Photon Experiments

SPCM on eBay www.diyPhysics.comI HAVE NO RELATION TO SELLER – Just passing along in case someone is interested.

eBay item number 271206242864:

“The EG&G (or Perkin Elmer) SPCM-AQR is a self-contained module which detects single photons of light over the wavelength range from 400 nm to 1060 nm and sensitivity which often outperforms PMTs. The option 13-FC indicates 180 micron diameter Si APD, Dark Count < 250cps and FC connector attached.

I obtained this detector in working order five years ago and have not used it since then. The detector comes with two unknown optical fiber cables (one end: FC, the other end: bare fiber) and a supply cable to which you need to give 5V. No manual included. The US sale only.”

Posted on May 8, 2013 by David Prutchi Posted in Chapter 3 - Atoms and Radioactvity, High-Voltage Power Supply

Flyback driver circuit from Radio Electronics September 1981 David Prutchi PhD www.diyPhysics.com

One of my all-time favorite circuits is the the following DC-to-AC inverter (click diagram to enlarge) based on an old color TV flyback:
