Description
I will review how the state-of-the-art sensors developed for
astronomical applications can precisely measure the positions and shapes of
billions of galaxies. The talk will focus on the camera and sensors for the
Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) and will discuss limitations on the
achievable precision coming from the instrumentation. I will also discuss
light sensitive sensors which can be used for fast imaging of single photons
in QIS and other applications.
