Description

KALYPSO is a novel detector capable of operating at frame rates up to 12 MHz
developed and tested at the institute of data processing and electronics (IPE)
and employed at Karlsruhe Research Accelerator (KARA) which is part of the
Test Facility and Synchrotron Radiation Source KIT. This detector consists of
silicon, InGaAs, PbS, or PbSe line array sensor with spectral sensitivity from
350 nm to 5000 nm. The unprecedented frame rate of this detector is
achieved by a custom-designed ASIC readout chip. The FPGA-readout
architecture enables continuous data acquisition and real-time data
processing. Such a detector has various applications in the fields of beam
diagnostics and spectral analysis. KALYPSO is currently employed at various
synchrotron facilities for electro-optical spectral decoding (EOSD) to study the
longitudinal profile of the electron beam, to study the energy spread of the
electron beam, tuning of free-electron lasers (FELs), and also in
characterizing laser spectra. This contribution will present an overview of the
results from the mentioned applications.
