Solar Magnetic Field Studies (Photon Counter).

Abstract

Description is made of two-dimensional photon counters that preserve the temporal ordering of the photons in a form suitable for a new algorithm for speckle imaging. Specifications are given for such a device that is under development by Lockheed and attention is given to a commercially available device that is being procured under this contract. Certain developments concerning the calibration and sensitivity of the speckle imaging algorithm are also described. (Author)
