Objective
The objective of the project is to realize and qualify an image acquisition interface with sensitivity to single photons, large input window (~ 200 mm), ultra fast gate time (~ 10 ns), high resolution (~ 100,000 pixels), high speed of pixels readout (~ 40 Mpixels/s) and on-line image pre-processing (background subtraction, normalisation, non destructive compression, etc.). The achievement of these project goals requires system's components that are not offered by european suppliers, or needs improved performance respect to the presently available ones also from extra european suppliers. In particular the more adaptable configuration for a scientific image acquisition system, is composed by an input intensifier and demagnifier coupled by optical fibers to a vacuum image pipeline for the time selection (delay and time window) of the image according to an external trigger. The output of this optoelectronic device gives high resolution image to an intensified CCD camera equipped with the appropriate on-line preprocessing electronic interface that transfers the image to a computer.
All the components of this chain can be substantially improved, with an RTD efforts that combines the experience of advanced academic research laboratories and the skill of european manufacturers. These advanced components, once available on the european market, can find applications in several fields where the extraction of quantitative information from various type of images, is the basic laboratory technique, in medical diagnostic and industrial applications related to night vision, surveillance, defence and flight assistance.
