摘要

As part of a new collaboration between CHARA and the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy, we have developed a new detector system for the CLASSIC/CLIMB beam combiner of the CHARA Array. This detector is based on the Rockwell HAWAII-1 HgCdTe focal plane array and has lower readout noise (~5 electrons) than the current PICNIC based system. Presently, CLASSIC/CLIMB observations at different wavelength bands can be made only successively by selecting individual filters in a filter wheel. Therefore, another upgrade goal is to install a non-deviating prism in order to image the H- and K'-band light onto separate detector pixels and to simultaneously observe in the H and K' bands. The detector control electronics were built at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy. The goal was to achieve the lowest possible readout noise and electronic pick-up noise. The detector readout noise can be significantly reduced by the following approach: First, the analog detector output signal is processed by a moving boxcar filter consisting of an analog approximation of a finite impulse response filter with a response time adapted to the 10 MHz sample rate of an analog-to-digital converter. Second, a digital filter averages up to 1024 samples for each addressed pixel. This hybrid (analog plus digital) filter approach gives a unique flexibility of a programmable bandwidth for optimum noise reduction.
