Extending the search for ETI communication... - Shelley Wright (SETI Talks)





Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 12 Φεβ 2015
Full title: Extending the search for ETI communication to near-infrared wavelengths

We
are poised to take advantage of a remarkable confluence of
technological advances and scientific opportunity. For the first time,
very fast, wide bandwidth, high-gain, low noise near-infrared avalanche
photo diode (APDs) detectors are available and reasonably priced.

Dr.
Wright and her team are designing and constructing a new SETI
instrument to search for direct evidence of interstellar communications
via pulsed laser signals at near-infrared (900 - 1700 nm) wavelengths.
The new instrument design builds upon our past optical SETI work, and is
the first step toward a new, more versatile, and more sophisticated
generation of very fast optical and near-infrared pulse search devices.

Dr.
Wright will discuss the advantages of SETI searches at near-infared
wavelengths. Dr. Wright will also present the instrument layout,
including an overview of the opto-mechanical design, detector selection
and characterization, signal processing, and integration procedure.

Finally,
she will describe our initial observational setup and search strategies
for SETI targets and other astronomical studies.
