Astronomical and optical instruments. Specialist optical instruments. Optical instruments. Detection and analysis apparatus. Detection apparatus. The University of Exeter intends to purchase a fully integrated infrared camera system that is based on the SELEX/SAPHIRA e-APD detector and optimised for near-infrared imaging (wavelength range 1-2.5 micrometer) with kHz readout rates and sub-electron dark+read noise characteristics. The camera is needed for applications in the field of astronomical infrared interferomet...
