Development of a high-time-resolution optical photon-counting instrument IMONY for fast transient astronomy
IMONY is a high-time-resolution optical photon-counting instrument developed for fast transient astronomy. This system uses a 64-pixel Geiger-mode APD (also known as SPAD) array and FPGA-based readout electronics to record the detector channel and arrival time of each photon with 100-ns resolution. Earlier versions of...
