摘要： There is provided an imaging device comprising a plurality of photodetectors in a predetermined spatial arrangement. Each photodetector is connected to a different predetermined pair of first and second readout channels so that the spatial position of an active photodetector can be determined from the corresponding pair of active readout channels. The number of readout channels is less than the number of photodetectors. For each photodetector its first readout channel is shared with a first plurality of other photodetectors of the arrangement, and its second readout channel is shared with a second plurality of other photodetectors of the arrangement. A first option is that the second plurality is greater than the first plurality for at least some of the photodetectors, with the position of an event occurring at one of the photodetectors being determined from the active first and second readout channels, and with the energy and/or timing of the event being determined from the active firstreadout channel. A second option is that at least some of those photodetectors sharing the same first channel are not adjacent in the arrangement. A third option is that the photodetectors are silicon photomultiplier detectors. The first to third options can be used separately, in isolation, or in any combination.

摘要： A light sensor module (1) comprises a plurality of light sensing elements (2) arranged on a substrate (4). The module is operable in a mode of operation in which the elements cooperate in use to produce a combined output signal indicative of an overall level of light falling on the elements (2). In one example, each element (2) comprises a light input surface (16) arranged to face away from the substrate (4) and an opposed surface (18) arranged to face towards the substrate (4). Each element (2) is arranged to make electrical connection (8) to the substrate (4) through the opposed surface (18), leaving the sides (19) of the element (2) substantially free. This enables adjacent elements (2) to sit closely together to form a close-tiled arrangement of the elements (2) covering a large area.

摘要： An optical detector (1) acts as a modular detection unit. It may for example be mounted on a separate micro-fluidic device (2) for detection of species within a channel (3) of the device (2). The detector (1) has mounting lugs (4) for mounting on the micro-fluidic device (2) for exact registry with the channel (3). A substrate (15) is folded over at a flexible part (25) through 180° and, at the top, supports a vertical emitting laser device (16). The lower branch of the substrate (15) supports an integrated circuit photo-diode array sensor (17) having chip bumps (18). The substrate (15) also supports emitter drive circuitry (26) and detector circuitry (27). The sensor (17) is a silicon integrated circuit, having an array of integrated photo-diodes (17(a)) in a silicon wafer (17(b)). There is a vertical through-hole (17(c)) in the wafer, to act as a guide for incident radiation emitted by the emitter (16) (arrows IR). Because of the single folded-over substrate arrangement the emitter 16 can be particularly easily and accurately aligned with the guide aperture 17(c).

摘要： A pixellated scintillator readout arrangement is presented, the arrangement comprising a plurality of scintillator pixels arranged in a scintillator array, and a plurality of photodetectors arranged to receive light from, or address, the scintillator pixels. The photodetectors may be arranged on both a first side and a second side of the scintillator array. Each photodetector may be arranged to leave a gap adjacent to the scintillator pixel which is addressed by that photodetector. Non-photosensitive elements such as tracking and bondpads may be arranged in at least some of the gaps. Electronic components such as electronic amplifiers may be arranged in at least some of the gaps. The photodetectors may be arranged in linear arrays addressing alternate lines of scintillator pixels on either side of the scintillator array. Each photodetector may be arranged to address a single pixel (as illustrated) or more than one pixel (not shown).

摘要： A photodiode structure operable in Geiger mode is disclosed. The photodiode includes an effective area that comprises a multiplicity of high-field regions, each constituting a diode element at which avalanche multiplication can occur. The high-field regions are sized and spaced apart by low-field regions in the surrounding substrate. During manufacture, defects and contaminants are removed from the high-field regions into the surrounding low-field regions by gettering. The size of the high-field regions is chosen to ensure that the gettering process is effective. For example, they may be approximately 10mm in diameter. The spacing between the high-field regions is large enough to accommodate the gettered defects and contaminants in order that they have a minimal effect on the dark count of the photodiode.
