Ike Pono
Ike Pono is a 1kx1k infrared detector aimed at ultra-low flux astronomical imaging. It provides avalanche gain at these very low photon flux levels and consequently sets a new standard in sensitivity for astronomy. This not only allows for fainter objects to be observed, it allows shorter integration times for the same signal-to-noise thereby maximising the science return on large telescopes. Many future astronomy projects depend on photon counting level sensitivity including the imaging of faint objects and spectral lines.
