Instrumentation for ESO's Extremely Large Telescope
Suzanne Ramsay, Michele Cirasuolo, Paola Amico +21
Design and construction of the instruments for ESO's Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) began in 2015. We present here a brief overview of the status of the ELT Instrumentation Plan.…
Performance advantages of buffered mode operation of HxRG near infrared detectors
Naidu Bezawada, Derek Ives, Domingo Alvarez +4
The Teledyne HxRG detectors have versatile and programmable output options to allow operation of them in a variety of configurations such as slow unbuffered, slow buffered, fast bu…
Characterisation, performance, and operational aspects of the H4RG-15 near infrared detectors for the MOONS instrument
Derek Ives, Domingo Alvarez, Naidu Bezawada +2
MOONS is a multi-object spectrograph for the ESO VLT covering a simultaneous wavelength range of 0.6-1.8 microns using approximately 1000 fibres. It uses four Teledyne Imaging Syst…
Detector Systems Engineering for Extremely Large Instruments
Elizabeth M. George, Naidu Bezawada, Derek Ives +22
The scientific detector systems for the ESO ELT first-light instruments, HARMONI, MICADO, and METIS, together will require 27 science detectors: seventeen 2.5 m cutoff H4RG-15 d…
Pyxel: the collaborative detection simulation framework
Thibaut Prod'homme, Frédéric Lemmel, Matej Arko +5
Pyxel is a novel python tool for end-to-end detection chain simulation i.e. from detector optical effects to readout electronics effects. It is an easy-to-use framework to host and…
Simulations and Design of a Single-Photon CMOS Imaging Pixel Using Multiple Non-Destructive Signal Sampling
Konstantin D. Stefanov, Martin Prest, Mark Downing +3
A single-photon CMOS image sensor design based on pinned photodiode (PPD) with multiple charge transfers and sampling is described. In the proposed pixel architecture, the photogen…
