Abstract

Superconducting Tunnel Junction (STJ) detectors offer wavelength-resolved detection of single optical photons with high time resolution. To meet the needs of future astronomical instruments, large detector arrays must be developed. We describe recent activities aimed to secure such performance, and highlight results achieved with prototype arrays when employed at the William Herschel Telescope.
