Remote Ultra-Low Light Imaging (RULLI)

Several C-CDE researchers are collaborating across divisions on Remote Ultra-Low Light Imaging (RULLI) technology. RULLI combines highly sensitive single-photon imaging with time-of-flight capability, generating high resolution three-dimensional images. C-CDE's expertise in optical and laser technology, as well as many years of experience in remote sensing, are helping apply this exciting technology to a number of laboratory missions. Single Photon Detector and 3D Imaging

The RULLI (Remote Ultra-Low Light Imaging) sensor can be used to probe complex three dimensional structures. A Ponderosa pine is illuminated from a single distant point with a low power pulsed laser co-located with the sensor. The cubical data volume 13 m on a side contains 2.8 million photons. The detailed structure of the tree is clearly revealed.
