Advances Technolog for Solar Observations

Responsible person: Ali BenMoussa

Overall description
Technological developments allow using innovative techniques in solar observations, leading to the design of a new generation of instruments, but requiring as well opto-electrical measurements.

Long Term Goal
To consolidate and extend our technological expertise of high relevance to the hardware and software of solar instruments.

The present WP addresses particularly the definition, development, and experimental characterization of detectors, with emphasis on single-pixel and imaging sensors, on their associated proximity electronics and optical filters. The application wavelengths can include the electromagnetic spectrum from the near-infrared to gamma rays, with special interest in the ultraviolet ranges. Novel imaging schemes will be explored, and the development of 'smart camera' features will be supported.
