Broadcom offer an easy-to-use Evaluation Kit designed to allow rapid evaluation and characterisation of any WB- or WL-series SiPM.
The Evaluation Kit includes a high performance broadband amplifier and can be specified with a choice of high performance AC- or DC-coupled PCBs optimised for either single photon measurements or for testing with scintillators. The PCBs are mounted in a Thorlabs® CP02/M cage plate and 3 MCX-to-SMA cables are included.
AFBR-S4KPEPCBDC for general purpose measurements:
- DC-Coupled output via 51Ω resistive tap
- Low pass filter in bias supply line
- Ideal for single photon counting and scintillator measurements
AFBR-S4KPEPCBAC for fast counting and timing measurements:
- AC-Coupled (~3MHz) matched to 50Ω
- Two outputs, SIGNAL (90%) & MONITOR (10%)
- Additional output enables simultaneous measurement of timing and resolution
Both designs of PCB feature a socket to accomodate the "PIN" version of the appropriate 1mm or 3mm SiPM (i.e. mounted on a small PCB with three pins on the rear).
Broadcom's Quick Start Guide for the SiPM Evaluation Kit contains guidance on the selection and use of the available components and there is a separate guide for the SiPM Bias Source.
