Abstract
An experimental setup of photon counting real-time image acquisition system was introduced. Wherein a photon image head (an image intensifier with high radiant emittance gain) was coupled with a high frame rate CCD camera by a super powerful relay lens. The restrictions on luminous emittance of object were analysed for single photon imaging mode. The methods for determining readout noise, the major comprehensive specification of system for multiphoton imaging mode, were introduced. The application examples of system in adaptive optics wavefront sensor operated with a faint object, and in experimental study on the photon noise distribution, the optical wave-particle duality were presented.
