Silicon Photodiodes for Absolute Soft X-ray Radiometry
Absolute spectroscopic photocurrent calibration of detectors in the photon energy range of 50-6000 eV is performed at beamlines U3c and X8a of the National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory. These beamlines are specifically designed to provide high flux over a wide energy range, with particular attention paid to harmonic purity of the monochromatic beam. Examples of opt...
متن کاملAl0.2Ga0.8As X-ray photodiodes for X-ray spectroscopy
Three custom-made Al0.2Ga0.8As p-i-n mesa X-ray photodiodes (200 μm diameter, 3 μm i layer) were electrically characterised and investigated for their response to illumination with soft X-rays from an Fe radioisotope X-ray source (Mn Kα = 5.9 keV; Mn Kβ = 6.49 keV). The AlGaAs photodiodes were shown to be suitable for photon counting X-ray spectroscopy at room temperature. When coupled to a cus...
متن کاملImproved x-ray detection and particle identification with avalanche photodiodes.
Avalanche photodiodes are commonly used as detectors for low energy x-rays. In this work, we report on a fitting technique used to account for different detector responses resulting from photoabsorption in the various avalanche photodiode layers. The use of this technique results in an improvement of the energy resolution at 8.2 keV by up to a factor of 2 and corrects the timing information by ...
متن کاملX-ray spectrometry with Peltier-cooled large area avalanche photodiodes
Performance characteristics of the response of a Peltier-cooled large-area avalanche photodiode are investigated. Detector gain, energy linearity, energy resolution and minimum detectable energy are studied at different operation temperatures. Detector energy resolution and lowest detectable X-ray energy present a strong improvement as the operation temperature is reduced from 25 to 15 C and sl...
متن کاملCalculation of the Modulation Transfer Function of Hybrid Semiconductor Pixel Detectors for X-ray Imaging
The hybrid structure of solid-state pixel detector has a semiconductor sensor that converts the X-ray photons to electric pulses, and an electronics chip that processes and stores the signals. The signals are transferred from the sensor chip to the electronic chip through metallic bump bonds, one per pixel. Image quality parameters have to be assessed in order to estimate the imaging capabiliti...
