Description
Following the groundbreaking discovery of astrophysical neutrinos by IceCube, TRIDENT has been proposed as a next-generation neutrino telescope, planned for construction at a depth of around 3,500 meters in the Western Pacific Ocean. TRIDENT aims to enhance the search for astrophysical neutrino sources and optimize all-flavor neutrino detection.
As a water-based neutrino telescope, TRIDENT faces unique challenges in optical calibration due to the dynamic and non-uniform optical properties of the deep-sea environment. In this talk, I will present a custom-designed CMOS camera system and its adaptive image processing algorithms for real-time optical calibration, successfully demonstrated in TRIDENT’s Pathfinder experiment in 2021.
