 Zusammenfassung: Ground based near infrared adaptive optics as well as fringe tracking for coherent beam combination in optical interferometry required the development of high-speed sensors. Because of the high speed, a large analog bandwidth is needed. The short exposure times result in small signal levels which require noiseless detection. Both of these conflicting requirements cannot be met by state-of-the-art conventional CMOS technology of near infrared arrays as has been attempted previously[1][2]. The HgCdTe electron avalanche photo diode (eAPD) technology is the only way to overcome the limiting CMOS noise barrier of near infrared sensors. Therefore, ESO funded the development of the near infrared SAPHIRA 320x256 pixel e-APD arrays at LEONARDO [3][4][5][6][7]. SAPHIRA arrays have now become the devices of choice for control loops with unsurpassed performance [21]. This has also been demonstrated by the four wavefront sensors and the fringe tracker deployed in the VLTI instrument GRAVITY which set a new sensitivity standard in infrared interferometry [8][9]. It has also been demonstrated that APD arrays have extremely low dark current (1E-3 electrons/s/pixel) and may outperform conventional CMOS arrays for 100 second integrations when operated with moderate APD gains. For AO systems of extremely large telescopes and for co-phasing segmented mirror telescopes larger formats are needed. Therefore, a 512x512 pixel SAPHIRA array with 64 parallel video outputs optimized for pyramid wavefront sensing is in development. Since the SAPHIRA array has successfully passed radiation hardness testing it soon may be used for future instruments in space. Apart from the large array common voltage for high APD gain it can also be operated with voltages compatible with the space qualified SIDECAR ASIC [10].
