Abstract

A detector, includes a plurality of photomultiplier tubes each having an anode configured to generate an anode output signal and a frequency domain detector interface including a plurality of frequency domain coupling circuits. Each of the plurality of frequency domain coupling circuits is configured to receive the anode output signal from one of the plurality of photomultiplier tubes and pickoff one of a high-frequency component or a low-frequency component. Each of the plurality of frequency domain coupling circuits is further configured to generate a pass-through signal comprising a first of the high-frequency component or the low-frequency component.
