The PI MAX® 4 improves time-resolved imaging and spectroscopy with either intensified CCD (ICCD) or intensified EMCCD (emICCD) systems. With a wide range of applications, such as plasma diagnostics, combustion and quantum computing, there is no other ICCD that can match the performance and flexibility of the PI MAX 4.

PI-MAX 4 ICCD/emICCD Overview
High Speed Gating
The PI MAX 4 delivers ultra-fast ≤500 ps gating without sacrificing quantum efficiency thanks to SuperHV – the latest in high-voltage gating technology. Degradation of the QE of the photocathode is avoided as intensifiers with metal-grid underlay are not used. The PI MAX 4 is calibrated for true optical full width at half maximum, delivering high temporal resolution for effective background discrimination.
Super synchro Timing Generator
Controlling the intensifier gating is easy with the PI MAX 4’s built-in precision timing generator, controlling gate widths and delays in 10 ps steps. Not only can gate widths and delays be controlled, but SyncMASTER is able to synchronize the camera with a variety of external equipment, such as pulsed lasers.
Fast Frame and Spectral Rates
The PI MAX 4 achieves video frame rate at full resolution and ≥300 fps with reduced resolution and binning. In spectroscopy mode, it delivers ≥10,000 spectra per second with sustained frame rate. The PI MAX 4 has the ability to capture a gated image or spectrum for every pulse from high-repetition-rate lasers.
