LOW-LIGHT-LEVEL NIR (NEAR INFRARED:1.4 µm/1.7 µm) MEASUREMENT PHOTOMULTIPLIER TUBES R5509-43/R5509-73 OF NIR and EXCLUSIVE COOLERS OVER VIEW FEATURES Hamamatsu near infrared photomultiplier tubes (NIR-PMT) R550943 and -73 have photocathodes with extended spectral response ranges to 1.4 µm or 1.7 µm where beyond 1.1 µm have been the limit of conventional photocathodes. The R5509-43 is recommended for detection up to 1.35 µm, while the R5509-73 is up to 1.7 µm. ●High sensitivity enables accurate PL (Photoluminescence) measurement with a low excitation power that could not be obtained with a strong excitation. High gain and low noise improve the detection limit. ●Flat response from visible to near IR minimizes spectral sensitivity correction. The spectral response covers a wide range from 0.3 µm to 1.4 µm or 1.7 µm. ●Photoluminescence from a room temperature sample can be measured. High sensitivity enables weak light emission measurement. ●Time resolved measurement in near IR is realized. Fast time response (Rise time): 3 ns.

[Warranty] Bottom View TPMHA0284ED RELATED PRODUCTS Exclusive coolers C9940-01, C9940-02 The C9940-01, -02 are exclusive coolers for R5509 series photomultiplier tubes. To operate the R5509 series, it is necessary to cool it down to -70 °C to -90 °C range (recommended temperature: -80 °C). Cooling suppresses dark current and improves signal to noise ratio to make weak near infrared light measurements possible with high sensitivity. Two types are available with different line voltage regulations, 100 V to 115 V (C9940-01) and 230 V (C9940-02) . ■FEATURES ●Temperature range: -70 °C to -90 °C ●Voltage divider, Magnetic shield case included ●Alarm with output when liquid nitrogen is running out ●No external dry nitrogen is required ■SPECIFICATIONS Parameter Input Voltage Power Consumption Temperature Controllable Range Cool-down Time Liquid Nitrogen Consumption rate Cooling Unit Cooling Controller Weight Liquid Nitrogen Drawing Pipe, etc. Window Material Alarm Output Operating Ambient Temperature Storage Temperature Accessory C9940-01 AC 100 V to AC 115 V, 50 Hz / 60 Hz C9940-02 AC 230 V, 50 Hz 60 VA -70 °C to -90 °C Approx. 2 h (-80 °C setting) 0.5 L/h 5.5 kg 6.1 kg 0.8 kg Borosilicate grass DC 24 V, 100 mA Max. +10 °C to +40 °C -20 °C to +50 °C 100 kΩ Load Resistor (with BNC connector) ■DIMENSIONAL OUTLINE (Unit: mm) 325 75 110 200 130 86 PMT PHOTOCATHODE 110 8 6-M3 8 100 O-RING 260 LIQUID NITROGEN IN / NITROGEN OUT 220 INSURATED WINDOW 85.7 114 4-M6 152.4 140 52 120 130 PMT PHOTOCATHODE 86 48 180 TACCA0260EA RELATED PRODUCTS Exclusive coolers C9940-01, C9940-02 ■SYSTEM CONFIGURATION PMT housing, Controller, Liquid nitrogen suction pipe, Heat insulating hose, PMT socket assembly, Controller cable, Vinyl tube, 100 kΩ load resistor box.
