Low-Cost Coincidence-Counting Electronics for Quantum Optics

Abstract

We have built and tested a multi-order coincidence-counting circuit that has higher count rates and lower cost than widely-used time-to-amplitude-converters. This is attractive for experimenters, especially in places where cost is a serious issue.

An FPGA-based module for multiphoton coincidence counting

David A. Branning, M. Beck

We present a multi-channel coincidence-counting module for use in quantum optics experiments. The circuit takes up to four TTL pulse inputs and counts either 2-, 3-, or 4-fold coincidences, within a user-selected coincidence time window as short as 12 ns. The module can accurately count eight sets of multi-channel coincidences, for input rates of up to 84 MHz. Due to their low cost and small size, multiple modules can easily be combined to count arbitrary M-order coincidences among N inputs.

We present a multichannel coincidence-counting module for use in quantum optics experiments. The circuit takes up to four transistor-transistor logic pulse inputs and counts either twofold, threefold, or fourfold coincidences, within a user-selected coincidence-time window as short as 12 ns. The module can accurately count eight sets of multichannel coincidences, for input rates of up to 84 MHz. Due to their low cost and small size, multiple modules can easily be combined to count arbitrary M-order coincidences among N inputs.
