Scientific paper

A prototype stellar interferometer has been developed by CSAO and NAIRC and the fringes of artificial light with a bandwidth of 500 Å were observed in May 1966. As one of the key parts of the interferometer, each of the two star track systems consists of a quadrant detector, a piezoelectrically controlled tilt mirror and an adaptive wavefront tilt correction servo. A detailed description for the servo is presented here mainly including the photon counting circuitry and the software used on a 8098 single chip computer and a PC 386 computer. The servo was tested in spring 1996 and a series of experiments were performed to check the photomultiplier/pulse detection system's linearity and the characteristic curves of all the photomultipliers used. It proved the number of counts received was correct.
