Performance of the Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer with Photoconductive Detector Arrays: An Application for the AKARI Far-Infrared Instrument

open access: yes, 2008
We have developed an imaging Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) for space-based far-infrared astronomical observations. The FTS employs a newly developed photoconductive detector arrays with a capacitive trans-impedance amplifier, which makes the FTS a

Comment on “Does the Equivalence between Gravitational Mass and Energy Survive for a Composite Quantum Body?”

open access: yesAdvances in High Energy Physics, 2016
Lebed has given an argument that when a hydrogen atom is transported slowly to a different gravitational potential, it has a certain probability of emitting a photon. He proposes a space-based experiment to detect this effect.

The History of Astrophysics in Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We examine the historical development of astrophysical science in Antarctica from the early 20th century until today. We find three temporally overlapping eras, each having a rather distinct beginning.

Detectors for the astronomical applications

open access: yes2009 International Conference on Emerging Trends in Electronic and Photonic Devices & Systems, 2009
Astronomical observations are dependent on focal-plane instruments, and detectors continue to play a key role. The detector technology is evolving rather fast with the large-format CMOS and CCD array mosaics, electron-multiplying CCDs, electron-avalanche photodiode arrays, quantum-well IR photon detectors etc. However, the requirements of artifact-free

Investigating reciprocity failure in 1.7-micron cut-off HgCdTe detectors

open access: yes, 2010
Flux dependent non-linearity (reciprocity failure) in HgCdTe NIR detectors with 1.7 micron cut-off was investigated. A dedicated test station was designed and built to measure reciprocity failure over the full dynamic range of near infrared detectors ...

Scalable background-limited polarization-sensitive detectors for mm-wave applications

open access: yes, 2014
We report on the status and development of polarization-sensitive detectors for millimeter-wave applications. The detectors are fabricated on single-crystal silicon, which functions as a low-loss dielectric substrate for the microwave circuitry as well ...

A New Fast Silicon Photomultiplier Photometer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The realization of low-cost instruments with high technical performance is a goal which deserves some efforts in an epoch of fast technological developments: indeed such instruments can be easily reproduced and therefore allow to open new research ...
