| Abstract | This program develops technology to advance the field of optical intensity interferometry using single photon detectors coupled to small telescopes. Measurement of photon correlation signals between multiple telescopes leverages advances in time-to-digital converters, ultra-fast imaging and optical communications, and novel approaches to high resolution spectroscopy. Near term science opportunities include characterizing the diameters of stars and material around stars, as well as characterizing |
