The application of single photon detector technique in Laser Time Transfer for Chinese Navigation Satellites
Original language description
The first Chinese mission of Laser Time Transfer (LTT) between ground and Chinese Navigation Satellites was successfully implemented by Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Because of LTT payloads onboard the High Earth Orbiting (HEO) satellites with orbit altitude of 21,500 to 36,000 km, the photon counting technology was adopted to increase the success rate of laser signal detection on satellites. The detection chip operates in a Geiger Mode with single photon sensitivity.It has a diameter of 40 um, it is produced by Czech Technical University. In order to reduce the background noise in space, the gated mode and two separated channels with different Field Of View (FOV) were used for the detector. The improvements for thenext version of the LTT detector resulted in a lower background noise and better laser detection rate. It is also been demonstrated in the onboard experiments that the photon counting detector works well after sunlight directly entered i
