Applications of Type I diffracted photons in astronomical imaging and the insensitivity of QCE image sensor to atmospheric turbulence

Abstract

The angular resolution of telescope/refractor due to Type I diffracted photons is investigated. Indoor measurements of the angular resolution have reached 16.5 milliarcseconds, an improvement of 50 x towards diffraction limit. A novel concept is proposed to eliminate the seeing effects of atmospheric turbulence and to impulse the deep space investigations. Imaging through the atmosphere is improved by QCE image sensor due Type I diffracted photons with particle behavior. Sirius (α Canis Majoris) passage measurements have indicated seeing conditions estimated at 11 milliarcseconds. The insensitivity of QCE image sensor to seeing conditions is analyzed and discussed.
