Abstract

Systems for detecting light (e.g., in a flow stream) are described. Light detection systems according to embodiments include a photodetector, an input modulator configured to modulate signal input into the photodetector and an output modulator configured to modulate signal output from the photodetector. Photodetector arrays having a plurality of light detection systems, e.g., as described, are also provided. Methods for matching output signals from two or more photodetectors (e.g., a plurality of photomultiplier tubes in a photodetector array) are also described. Flow cytometer systems and methods for detecting light from a sample in a flow stream are provided. Aspects further include kits having two or more of the subject light detection systems.
