A CMOS time-resolved fluorescence lifetime analysis micro-system (2009)
Journal Article
Rae, B., Muir, K. R., Gong, Z., McKendry, J., Girkin, J. M., Gu, E., …Henderson, R. (2009). A CMOS time-resolved fluorescence lifetime analysis micro-system. Sensors, 9(11), 9255-9274. https://doi.org/10.3390/s91109255

We describe a CMOS-based micro-system for time-resolved fluorescence lifetime analysis. It comprises a 16 × 4 array of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) fabricated in 0.35 μm high-voltage CMOS technology with in-pixel time-gated photon counting...

Strategies for spectroscopy on extremely large telescopes - III. Remapping switched fibre systems (2009)
Journal Article
Poppett, C., Allington-Smith, J., & Murray, G. (2009). Strategies for spectroscopy on extremely large telescopes - III. Remapping switched fibre systems. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 399(1), 443-452. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2009.15296.x

We explore the use of remapping techniques to improve the efficiency of highly multiplexed fibre systems for astronomical spectroscopy. This is particularly important for the implementation of diverse field spectroscopy (DFS) using highly multiplexed... Read More about Strategies for spectroscopy on extremely large telescopes - III.

Strategies for spectroscopy on Extremely Large Telescopes - II. Diverse-field spectroscopy (2009)
Journal Article
Murray, G., & Allington-Smith, J. (2009). Strategies for spectroscopy on Extremely Large Telescopes - II. Diverse-field spectroscopy. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 399(1), 209-218. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2009.15170.x

The fields of view of Extremely Large Telescopes will contain vast numbers of spatial sampling elements (spaxels) as their adaptive optics systems approach the diffraction limit over wide fields. Since this will exceed the detection capabilities of a... Read More about Strategies for spectroscopy on Extremely Large Telescopes - II. Diverse-field spectroscopy.

SPACE: the spectroscopic all-sky cosmic explorer (2009)
Journal Article
Cimatti, A., Robberto, M., Baugh, C., Beckwith, S., Content, R., Daddi, E., …Zerbi, F. (2009). SPACE: the spectroscopic all-sky cosmic explorer. Experimental Astronomy, 23(1), 39-66. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10686-008-9096-7

We describe the scientific motivations, the mission concept and the instrumentation of SPACE, a class-M mission proposed for concept study at the first call of the ESA Cosmic-Vision 2015–2025 planning cycle. SPACE aims to produce the largest three-di... Read More about SPACE: the spectroscopic all-sky cosmic explorer.

Adaptive optics for deeper imaging of biological samples. (2009)
Journal Article
Girkin, J., Poland, S., & Wright, A. (2009). Adaptive optics for deeper imaging of biological samples. Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 20(1), 106-110. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.copbio.2009.02.009

Optical microscopy has been a cornerstone of life science investigations since its first practical application around 400 years ago with the goal being subcellular resolution, three-dimensional images, at depth, in living samples. Nonlinear microscop... Read More about Adaptive optics for deeper imaging of biological samples..
