Detectors with High Efficiency and Low Noise for Exoplanet Studies and Cosmology

POSTER

Abstract

In preparation for the National Research Council’s next Decadal Survey for Astrophysics, NASA is developing concepts for four flagship missions, including the Habitable Exoplanet Imaging Mission (HabEx) and the Large Ultraviolet/Optical/Infrared Survey Mission (LUVOIR). Science and Technology Definition Teams (STDT) have embarked on formulating mission objectives, developing instrument designs and defining technology requirements and technology gaps. This talk focuses on potential solid-state detector options and briefly reviews their performance. The emphasis will be on silicon based detectors with high efficiency from far ultraviolet to near infrared with photon counting capability.
