Digital Signal Processing (D05*)

• Subject Area: Optics, Quantum Optics and Physics of Atoms, Molecules and Plasmas
• Term: from 2019 to 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 184018867

Project D4 will focus on the implementation of new opportunities that become available with the recent progress in fast digital signal processing. It exploits the new possibilities of this technology towards innovative methods in the laboratory astrophysics through time resolved high resolution spectroscopy, as well as allowing to realize the excessive requests for spectrometer capacity by the large format heterodyne array receivers such as CHAI for the CCAT-prime telescope in Chile and future SOFIA instrumentation within the limited power, mass and volume budget at observatories.
