A compact superconducting nanowire system offering high detection efficiency, low-noise performance -- and zero cryogenics experience required.
≥90% Detection Efficiency
Achieve over 90% detection efficiency in devices optimized for a peak wavelength in the band from 633-1550nm.
Up to 32ch Customizable Channels
Build a system tailored to your exact requirements with up to 32 independent channels. Each channel is precision-optimized for customer-selected wavelengths and unique performance specifications.
Fully Integrated Electronics
An all-in-one system with readout electronics integrated into the Opus One itself. Our readout electronics feature low-noise biasing and high-speed amplification producing a simple electrical pulse for every photon detected.
One-Button, 3-hour Cooldown
With an integrated pump, valve, and compressor control, you're ready to start cooling at the push of a button. Your research can start in just three hours.
>2K Operating Temperature
Proprietary nanowire materials allow operation at >2K, reducing cryogenic system complexity
Continuous Operation
Our low operating temperature enables continuous 24/7 operation for 12+ months. Zero service intervals. Zero warm-up.
Benchtop, Rack-Mount, or Portable
Available in standard benchtop, rack-mount, or fully integrated portable configurations. Designed to deliver peak performance in any environment without the traditional footprint.
Software
Streamline your workflow with open-source control software and a robust USB serial API. Designed for effortless integration with custom environments, our systems offer flexible remote monitoring and optional USB control.
Bench Top
External Cooling
The 3U Opus One mounts into any standard 19" lab rack. The only additional hardware required is a high-pressure, high-purity helium supply, provided by a Sumitomo CNA-11 air-cooled or F-20L water-cooled compressor -- or a compatible unit of your choice. Configurable for 120V or 208V, the total system power draw is typically 1kW (air-cooled) or 1.5kW (water-cooled).
Portable
Integrated Cooling
The Opus One Portable is a self-contained, field-ready version of the Opus One featuring an integrated compressor. Choose between air- or water-cooled models to suit your environment. Configurable for 120V or 208V, typical power draw ranges from 1kW (air-cooled) to 1.5kW (water-cooled).
