Summary

Description
English: This picture shows the first prototype of RAPID, a new generation of fast and very sensitive detectors that has been successfully installed on the PIONIER instrument at ESO’s Paranal Observatory. This achievement is the result of five years of sustained collaboration and effort from academic institutes (LETI, ONERA, IPAG, LAM) and industrial partners (SOFRADIR).
As its name suggests, the new RAPID system delivers several thousand images per second and can operate at very low light levels.
Français : Premier prototype de "RAPID" (nouvelle génération de détecteurs rapides et ultrasensible, installé avec succès sur l'instrument PIONIER à l'Observatoire Paranal d'ESO. Cette réalisation est le résultat de 5ans de collaboration avec des instituts universitaires (LETI, ONERA, IPAG, LAM) et des partenaires industriels (SOFRADIR).
Comme son nom l'indique ce détecteur est rapide : plusieurs milliers d'images par seconde. En outre, il peut fonctionner à des intensités lumineuses très faibles.
