Optical detection
2026-11 / v126

Single-photon detection & counting
Integrate detector electronics, bias and drive circuits, pulse readout and counting interfaces for faint optical signals.
- Optical input: spectral range, coupling and incident-light conditions.
- Detection targets: count behavior, dark counts, timing goals and validation methods.
- Electrical interfaces: bias, pulse readout, triggering and synchronization.
- Test environment: light shielding, thermal control, electrical shielding and mounting.

Optoelectronic acquisition & synchronization
Develop analog front ends, data acquisition, trigger synchronization and data interfaces for optical measurement systems.
- Signals: amplitude, bandwidth, noise and input format.
- Acquisition: channels, sampling needs, processing and storage.
- Synchronization: clock source, trigger direction and timing constraints.
- System links: host interface, software environment and test instruments.

Instrument control & experiment software
Organize device control, configuration, acquisition records and analysis into practical experimental workflows.
- Device interfaces: protocols, SDKs, commands and connection methods.
- Workflows: experimental steps, parameter bounds and exception handling.
- Data: file formats, metadata, analysis and export needs.
- Runtime: operating system, deployment hosts, permissions and maintenance.
