介绍了一种基于60个光子计数器的硅单片阵列[单光子雪崩二极管阵列（SPADA）]的仪器，用于快速瞬态现象和自适应光学（AO）的最新测量。制作的固态光子计数器坚固耐用，易于集成在光学系统中，没有读出噪声，并提供非常快的帧速率（> 10 kHz）和纳秒电子门控。检测电子器件包括用于阵列的每个像素的集成有源猝灭电路（AQC）。实时数据处理板被实现为现场可编程门阵列（FPGA）和数字信号处理器（DSP），并且可配置用于处理不同的应用：以快速帧速率采集和处理二维（2-D）图像以及提取用于自适应光学应用的曲率波前。的检测器和相关的电子学的光学和电学特性的报告。
An instrumentation based on a silicon monolithic array of 60 photon counters [single-photon avalanche diode array (SPADA)] for state-of-the-art measurements of fast transient phenomena and adaptive optics (AO) is presented. The fabricated solid-state photon counters are rugged, easy to be integrated in the optical system, free from read-out noise, and provide very fast frame rates (> 10 kHz) and nanosecond electronic gating. The detection electronics includes an integrated active-quenching circuit (AQC) for each pixel of the array. The real-time data-processing board is implemented into a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and a digital signal processor (DSP) and is configurable for dealing with different applications: acquisition and processing of two-dimensional (2-D) images with fast frame rate and extraction of the curvature wavefront for adaptive optics applications. The optical and electrical characterization of the detectors and the associated electronics is reported.
