  • Development of an FPGA based photon counting detector 
    Ambily, S (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, 2014-08)
    The UV photon event rate is very low in the near space region and we need to have a very sensitive detector to discriminate between the noise and actual signal. Photon counting method is usually used to detect such weak ...
  • Development of SHABAR for estimating atmospheric scintillation 
    Phanindra, D. V. S (Indian Institute of Astrophysics, 2014-08)
    Electromagnetic radiation from Sun and stars suffers from the turbulence in earth atmosphere. The turbulence changes the complex refractive index of air which in turn modifies the electromagnetic signal. This condition is ...
