Two large-area, low-noise, high-speed fluorescence detectors have been built. One detector consists of a photodiode with an area of 28 mm×28 mm and a low-noise transimpedance amplifier. This detector has a input light-equivalent spectral noise density of less than 3 pW/
, can recover from a large scattered light pulse within 10 µs, and has a bandwidth of at least 900 kHz. The second detector consists of a 16mm-diam avalanche photodiode and a low-noise transimpedance amplifier. This detector has an input light-equivalent spectral noise density of 0.08 pW/
, also can recover from a large scattered light pulse within 10 µs, and has a bandwidth of 1 MHz.
