SensL Announces Intelligent Photon Counting Training Pack ‘PCM Educator’ Provides Hands-on Instructions on the Principles of Low Light Sensing using SensL’s breakthrough solid state detection modules’

(Cork, Ireland; 16 June, 2005) - SensL a provider of innovative low light detection modules for applications ranging from health diagnostics, medical analysis, bio-medical sensing to astronomy, lidar and environmental protection announced the general release of their ‘PCM Educator’ photon counting training pack. Offered with extensive documentation and tools, the PCM Educator is designed to provide a complete introduction to this rapidly developing field of photonics.

The PCM Educator is the ideal solution for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) looking to quickly come up the learning curve on the technologies associated with photon counting and low light sensing. Further demand is expected from the academic community planning to offer a course or laboratory module in this field and from R&D laboratories looking for a self contained and easy to implement low light detection system.

‘SensL’s PCM Educator will guide the user through a series of steps, from the basic theory through to simulating actual applications.’ commented Dr. Carl Jackson, CTO.‘ With structured and detailed application notes aligned to the broad range of included instrumentation the PCM Educator is the complete package for anyone looking to quickly engage in this field’ .
The pack includes all items necessary to perform a range of experiments including SensL’s ‘PCMPlus’, ‘PCDMini’ and ‘PINPlus’ solid state detection products, laser and white light sources, integrating sphere, filters and attenuators. A key feature is the ‘photon counting card’ which allows easy implementation of a PC based control and monitoring interface.

Joseph O’Keeffe, CEO, added ‘We’re experiencing an unprecedented level of interest in our low light detection products and this training pack will ensure that potential customers and partners can quickly assess and evaluate the benefits of our revolutionary solid state detection technology’ .
