Optical Detectors for Focal Plane Arrays §
The paper presents progress in optical detector technologies during the past 25 years. Classification of two types of detectors (photon detectors and thermal detectors) is done on the basis of their principle of operation. The overview of optical material systems and detectors is presented. Also recent progress in different technologies is described. Discussion is focused mainly on current and ...
متن کاملTHz Imaging Using Uncooled Wideband Direct Detection Focal Plane Arrays
In millimeter and submillimeter-wave radiometric imaging systems, a persistent goal is the increase in the speed of acquisition of the image while maintaining a high sensitivity. Typically, the highest sensitivity is achieved by cryogenically cooling the detectors, specifically in astronomical applications. However, for the purpose of low-cost imaging applications, it is desirable to operate at...
متن کاملThe optical advantages of curved focal plane arrays.
The design of optical systems for digital cameras is complicated by the requirement that the image surface be planar, which results in complex and expensive optics. We analyze a compact optical system with a curved image surface and compare its performance to systems with planarimage surfaces via optics analysis and image system simulation. Our analysis shows that a curved image surface provide...
متن کاملMeeting the Optical Requirements of Large Focal-Plane Arrays
Technological advances will allow the placement of many Terahertz detectors at the focal plane of a single telescope. For a telescope of a given diameter and wavelength of operation, there is a limit to the number of usable detectors imposed by diffraction and optical aberrations. These effects can be ameliorated through an optical design where the magnification of the telescope’s secondary mir...
متن کاملBeamforming and Interference Canceling With Very Large Wideband Arrays
Future radio telescopes are envisioned to be beamforming arrays containing hundreds to millions of elements distributed over thousands of km2, with bandwidths that are 10% or more of the RF center frequency. It is awkward to analyze such systems using traditional narrowband beamforming theory. This paper presents a frequency-domain model that includes relevant features such as true time delay, ...
