Pulse generator SP5601

• Pulse width: 8 ns • LED color: violet (400 nm) 1500 mcd • Pulse generator: internal/external • Optical output connectors: FC • Optical fiber included • Dimension: 79 x 42 x 102 mm3 (WxHxD) Overview The CAEN Mod.SP5601 is an ultra-fast LED Driver with pulse width at ns level, tunable intensity and frequency, that provides a low-cost tool for the detector characterization. It represents the ideal tool for SiPM tests and characterization, through a triggered light burst of intensity down to a few photons and up to a number saturating the sensors. The SP5601 features tuneable intensity and repetition rate: the LED driver can be triggered either via the internal pulse generator, or via an external source; the optical signal is routed to the sensor through a fibre, FC interfaced.
