LINTag

High-Throughput Single-Photon-Streaming
LINTag is the time-tagger system for ultra-fast data acquisition. The time-to-digital converter boasts 8 acquisition channels, each with an adjustable input threshold and impedance. The system can deliver over 400 MTags per second with an accuracy of less than 8.5 ps, transmitting data to your computer via a 10G Ethernet SFP+ connection that uses a full-stack TCP/IP interface. If your application requires lower latency, you can utilize the embedded PC to directly access the time tags from the FPGA.
