Detector array control and triggering

Enhanced Diode Array Detector Sensitivity and Automated Peak Purity Control

The introduction of the diode array detector helped overcome this problem by providing access to quantitative as well as qualitative spectral information for a wide wavelength range. Agilent Technologie introduced the first diode array detector for liquid chromatography in 1982. Since that time significant improvements in the design of both the hardware and software have been made, Enhanced Dio...

A Detector Array For Direct Control of a Deformable Mirror

A wavefront sensing detector array is presented with capabilities suited towards high-order adaptive optics systems. The phase of the wavefront is sensed by modulating and synchronously sampling the fringes of a white light interferogram imaged onto the array. The nature of the modulation is characterized by a voltage signal, which is delivered as an input to the array. As a fringe moves across...

The FPGA Pixel Array Detector

A proposed design for a reconfigurable x-ray Pixel Array Detector (PAD) is described. It operates by integrating a high-end commercial field programmable gate array (FPGA) into a 3-layer device along with a high-resistivity diode detection layer and a custom, application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) layer. The ASIC layer contains an energy-discriminating photon-counting front end with pho...

The ESO Infrared Detector High-Speed Array Control and Processing Electronics IRACE

The ESO Infrared Detector High Speed Array Control and Processing Electronics, IRACE, is designed as a modular system which supports readout and data processing of arrays with four, and eventually more, output channels. In addition, the system can handle several separate arrays by routing the data to multiple processing chains. Detector front-end(s) are galvanically isolated from the data proce...
