Imaging turbulence with single-photon detector array technology

这是一项物理学博士研究项目。这个博士的目标是开发高速三维湍流成像的技术和方法。这项研究将基于单光子探测器阵列技术，使光脉冲能够在3D中被跟踪。探测器阵列具有史无前例的单光子灵敏度，使信号的精确计时精确到几皮秒。我们将把这项技术从基于实验室的系统转化为适合实时监测大气湍流的系统，最终导致一项适用于单光子敏感天文学的技术。

This is a PhD research project in Physics. The goal of this PhD is to develop technologies and methods for imaging turbulence in three dimensions at high speeds. The research will be based around single-photon detector array technologies that enable pulses of light to be tracked in 3D. The detector arrays have unprecedented single-photon sensitivity and enable precise timing of signals down to a few picoseconds. We will translate this technology from a lab based system to one suitable for real-time monitoring of atmospheric turbulence, ultimately leading to a technology suitable for single-photon sensitive astronomy.
