Long-range time-of-flight scanning sensor based on high-speed time-correlated single-photon counting.
We describe a scanning time-of-flight system which uses the time-correlated single-photon counting technique to produce three-dimensional depth images of distant, noncooperative surfaces when these targets are illuminated by a kHz to MHz repetition rate pulsed laser source. The data for the scene are acquired using a scanning optical system and an individual single-photon detector. Depth images...
متن کاملOPTIMA: A Photon Counting High-Speed Photometer
OPTIMA is a small, versatile high-speed photometer which is primarily intended for time resolved observations of young high energy pulsars at optical wavelengths. The detector system consists of eight fiber fed photon counters based on avalanche photodiodes, a GPS timing receiver, an integrating CCD camera to ensure the correct pointing of the telescope and a computerized control unit. Since Ja...
متن کاملPhoton-Counting Lidar for Aerosol Detection and 3-D Imaging
Laser-based remote sensing is undergoing a remarkable advance due to novel technologies developed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. We have conducted recent experiments that have demonstrated the utility of detecting and imaging low-density aerosol clouds. The Mobile Active Imaging LIDAR (MAIL) system uses a Lincoln Laboratory-developed microchip laser to transmit short pulses at 14-16 kHz Pulse Repet...
متن کاملLong-range micro-pulse aerosol lidar at 1.5 μm with an upconversion single-photon detector.
A micro-pulse lidar at eye-safe wavelength is constructed based on an upconversion single-photon detector. The ultralow-noise detector enables using integration technique to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the atmospheric backscattering even at daytime. With pulse energy of 110 μJ, pulse repetition rate of 15 kHz, optical antenna diameter of 100 mm and integration time of 5 min, a horizont...
متن کاملHigh-speed photon counting techniques for broadband quantum key distribution
Quantum Cryptography has demonstrated the potential for ultra-secure communications. However, with quantumchannel transmission rates in the MHz range, typical link losses and signal-to-noise ratios have resulted in keyproduction rates that are impractical for continuous one-time-pad encryption of high-bandwidth communications. We have developed high-speed data handling electronics that support ...
