Photon -counting Reticontm Detector
For applications in faint -object spectroscopy at the Mt. Hopkins Observatory, a photon counting detector has been built using a dual 936 Reticon diode array fibre -optically coupled to a high -gain image intensifier package. The electronic signal processing follows closely the design of Shectman; the diode array is scanned every millisecond, each frame is subtracted from the previous to minimi...
متن کاملSingle-photon counting
High-sensitivity detectors that are able to generate an electrical signal when struck by a single photon have two main applications. The first is for tasks involving very low light levels, such as fluorescence microscopy for biological imaging, free-space optical communications or laser ranging. The second is for singlephoton counters in quantum optics, which must often capture individual photo...
متن کاملTwo-Photon Counting interferometry
Two-photon counting (TPC) interferometry has been realized by measuring the electrical current due to two-photon absorption in the space charge layer of a semiconductor detector located at the output port of an interferometer. We apply this technique to study the correlation properties of twin beams issued from parametric fluorescence. We describe in details how the different second-order corre...
متن کاملPhoton counting compressive depth mapping
We demonstrate a compressed sensing, photon counting lidar system based on the single-pixel camera. Our technique recovers both depth and intensity maps from a single under-sampled set of incoherent, linear projections of a scene of interest at ultra-low light levels around 0.5 picowatts. Only two-dimensional reconstructions are required to image a three-dimensional scene. We demonstrate intens...
متن کاملAn Optimal Photon Counting Polarimeter
We present experimental results on a method to perform polarimetry on ensembles of single photons. Our setup is based on a measurement method known to be optimal for estimating the state of two level systems. The setup has no moving parts and is sensitive to weak sources (emitting single photons) of light as it relies on photon counting and has potential applications in both classical polarizat...
