Imaging turbulence with single-photon detector array technology

这是一个物理学博士研究项目。本博士的目标是发展高速下三维湍流成像的技术和方法。这项研究将以单光子探测器阵列技术为基础，该技术能够以3D方式跟踪光脉冲。探测器阵列具有前所未有的单光子灵敏度，能够精确计时到几皮秒的信号。我们将把这项技术从一个实验室系统转化为一个适合实时监测大气湍流的系统，最终导致一项适合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.
