Welcome Don Boyd RIT

Symposium Overview Don Figer RIT, RIDL

Goals of Workshop • Identify application area needs for quantumlimited imaging detectors • Review promising technologies • Define R&D and funding for advancing promising technologies to realize practical devices • Instigate collaboations and proposals 4 IT Collaboratory 2009 Research Symposium

Definition of Quantum-Limited • “quantum-limited”: limited by the nature of the photon – existence (random time of arrival) – wavelength – polarization • QLIDs might require very low dark currents, extreme dynamic range, etc. 5 IT Collaboratory 2009 Research Symposium

Sessions • • • 6 Opening Session & Introduction Application Area Review Talks Quantum-Limited Imaging Technologies Breakout Sessions Summary IT Collaboratory 2009 Research Symposium
