SYSTEMS FOR LIGHT DETECTION ARRAY MULTIPLEXING AND METHODS FOR SAME

Abstract:

Aspects of the present disclosure include systems for irradiating particles in a flow stream. Systems according to certain embodiments include a light source having a first laser configured to irradiate a flow stream at a first position and a second laser configured to irradiate the flow stream at a second position and a light detection system having a single light collection component configured to collect light from the flow stream and a single photodetector array having a plurality of photodetectors configured to detect light from the lasers conveyed through the single light collection component. Methods for determining one or more parameters of a particle in a flow stream with the subject systems are also described. Non-transitory computer readable storage medium with instructions for practicing methods with the subject systems are also provided.
