Near-Noiseless Single-Photon Detection in the Infrared with a Megapixel Semiconductor Array for Low-Background Astronomy

Guillaume Huber, Pavaman Bilgi, Charles-Antoine Claveau +7

Sensor noise is a fundamental barrier to low-flux astronomical imaging and spectroscopy, where the ideal sensor would unambiguously distinguish individual photon arrivals. While op…

Fundamental Noise Limits of Infrared Detectors in the Presence of Readout Glow

Michael Bottom, Gustav Pettersson, Pavaman Bilgi +5

Read noise in infrared sensor arrays remains a major obstacle for ground- and space-based astronomy. It has long been recognized that the upcoming extremely large telescopes cannot…

Direct Imaging Explorations for Companions from the Subaru/IRD Strategic Program II; Discovery of a Brown-dwarf Companion around a Nearby mid-M~dwarf LSPM~J1446+4633

Taichi Uyama, Masayuki Kuzuhara, Charles Beichman +35

We report the discovery of a new directly-imaged brown dwarf companion with Keck/NIRC2+pyWFS around a nearby mid-type M~dwarf LSPM~J1446+4633 (hereafter J1446). The -band contr…

Glow reduction of ultra-low noise LmAPDs: towards photon counting infrared arrays

Guillaume Huber, Michael Bottom, Charles-Antoine Claveau +5

Spectroscopy and direct-imaging of ultra-faint targets such as Earth-like exoplanets and high redshift galaxies are among the primary goals of upcoming large scale astronomy projec…

Progress towards a megapixel linear-mode avalanche photodiode array for ultra-low background shortwave infrared astronomy

Charles-Antoine Claveau, Michael Bottom, Shane Jacobson +12

Spectroscopy of Earth-like exoplanets and ultra-faint galaxies are priority science cases for the coming decades. Here, broadband source flux rates are measured in photons per squa…
