The Center for Detectors (CfD) is located in Engineering Hall (Building 17). The CfD headquarters consists of approximately 7,000 square feet of office and research laboratory space.
CfD lab space includes the Rochester Imaging Detector Laboratory (RIDL), the Lobozzo Photonics and Optical Characterization Laboratory, the Integrated Photonics Laboratory, the
Experimental Cosmology Laboratory, the Laboratory for Advanced Instrumentation Research (LAIR), the Quantum Imaging and Information Laboratory, the Suborbital Astrophysics Laboratory,
and the Electrical and Optical Characterization Lab for LED devices.
Facilities within CfD include a permanent clean room, ESD stations, vacuum pumping systems, liquid and closed-cycle cryogenic dewars, optical benches, flow tables, light sources, UV-IR monochromators, thermal control systems, cryogenic motion control systems, single-photon detector systems, a cryogenic optoelectronic probe station, vibration testing stations, a suborbital rocket payload assembly area, power supplies, general lab electronics, and data reduction computers. In addition to these dedicated facilities, the CfD has access to facilities within the Semiconductor and Microsystems Fabrication Laboratory (SMFL) and other areas across the RIT campus. |
