The TRiCATT (Time-Resolved Intensified Camera Attachment) is a cutting-edge solution designed for scientific and industrial applications that demand exceptional imaging capabilities under challenging conditions. This compact, lens-coupled image intensifier is engineered to excel in scenarios requiring low-light level imaging, ultra-short exposures through fast gating, and frequency-domain imaging using lock-in detection. The TRiCATT stands out with its ability to integrate seamlessly with existing imaging systems, thanks to its highly efficient relay lens that can be matched to any CCD or CMOS camera.

At the heart of the TRiCATT's performance is its advanced image intensifier technology. Available in 18 or 25 mm configurations, the TRiCATT offers a choice between Gen II and Gen III image intensifiers, providing unparalleled sensitivity down to the single photon level. This ensures optimal spectral bandwidth for a wide range of applications. The TRiCATT is the ideal choice for ultra-fast imaging in both the time domain and frequency domain, offering models that cater to various needs in terms of spectral sensitivity, phosphor, spatial resolution, gain, linearity, minimum gate width, and gating frequency.

For time-domain imaging, the TRiCATT is equipped with a fast gate unit (TRiCATT G40n/G2n), enabling it to function as an electro-optical shutter with repetition rates up to 2.5 MHz in burst mode. This capability is complemented by a series of intensifier control units that offer functionalities ranging from analog gain control to full digital control, including an internal trigger generator and programmable gate trains. In frequency-domain imaging, the TRiCATT M model supports gain modulation of 120 MHz and higher, facilitated by a single-chip digital synthesizer that ensures extremely low phase noise.

The TRiCATT's compact design makes it an easy fit for any imaging or spectroscopy setup, while its flexible and efficient lens coupling allows for seamless integration with CCD and CMOS cameras, supporting frame rates up to 500 fps. Additionally, the TRiCATT includes user-definable overexposure protection, ensuring the longevity and reliability of the system. This versatile and robust imaging solution is poised to meet the demands of a wide array of advanced imaging applications.
