A new commercial low-light imaging detector, the Photon Digitizing Camera (PDC), is based on the PAPA detector developed at Harvard University. The PDC generates (x, y, t)-coordinate data of each detected photoevent. Because the positional address computation is performed optically, very high counting rates are achieved even at full spatial resolution. Careful optomechanical and electronic design results in a compact, rugged detector with superb performance. The PDC will be used for speckle imaging of astronomical sources and other astronomical and low-light applications.
