QuantEYE, the quantum optics instrument for OWL
Abstract
A brief description of the QuantEYE instrument proposed as a focal plane instrument for OWL is given. This instrument is dedicated to the very high speed observation of many active phenomena with a photon counting capability of up to 1GHz. The system samples the beam in 10×10 subpupils, each focused on a fast photon counting detector.
