Intensified self-scanning photodiode

Limited comparisons are also drawn for silicon intensified target vidicons (SIT) and intensified self-scanning photodiode array detectors (ISPD). 

The performance characteristics of four optoelectronic image detectors (OIDs) are discussed. The detectors discussed are the silicon intensified target vidicon (SIT), the intensified SIT, the intensified silicon photodiode array detector (ISPD), and the self-scanned photodiode array detector. The main objective of the paper is to provide research workers interested in applying OIDs to a particular application with comparative performance information so that the best detector for a particular application may be selected. 

An intensified photodiode array (IPDA) detector for onedimensional spatial imaging in the EUV is shown in Figure 2. This type of detector was originally described by Riegler and Moore (14) It consists of a microchannel plate whose output is optically coupled to a self scanning photodiode array. An incident photon produces a photoelectron which is subsequently amplified by the MCP. The exiting electrons are proximity...
