abstract = {The faint fluorescence light of extensive air showers
produced by cosmic rays is traditionally detected by means
of optical telescopes equipped with photomultiplier tubes.
Since these devices are fragile, the prototype telescope
FAMOUS has been built to investigate the versatility of
silicon photomultipliers whose photon detection efficiency
surpasses the quantum efficiency of photomultiplier tubes.
In this thesis, the 61 pixel telescope FAMOUS has been
successfully commissioned and quantitative measurements of
star trails have been performed. Furthermore, detailed
simulations, especially for the silicon photomultipliers,
have been developed and validated against measurements
conducted in the laboratory.},
