Modulation-transfer-function-enhanced readout for SPRITE detectors.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new readout structure is investigated for signal-processing-in-the-element detectors that yields a modulation transfer function that is 3.5 dB better than those currently used. Experimental verification is performed in Si rather than HgCdTe, with similarity relations derived for the two semiconductors.

An extension of the traditional modulation transfer function (MTF), the detective MTF, is proposed for the evaluation of the resolution of X-ray imaging detectors with non-uniform efficiency on the scale of individual detector elements. The dMTF is shown to give a better representation than does the MTF of the improved resolution reported when the readout of the detectors is enhanced.
متن کاملModal analysis of transport processes in SPRITE detectors.
Carrier transport in signal-processing-in-the-element (SPRITE) detectors is an important phenomenon because it determines properties such as the responsivity and the modulation transfer function (MTF). The previous literature has presented approximate solutions to the transport problem that neglect boundary effects, which have long been thought to play a major role in SPRITE behavior. We presen...
متن کاملElectronic detectors for electron microscopy.
Due to the increasing popularity of electron cryo-microscopy (cryoEM) in the structural analysis of large biological molecules and macro-molecular complexes and the need for simple, rapid and efficient readout, there is a persuasive need for improved detectors. Commercial detectors, based on phosphor/fibre optics-coupled CCDs, provide adequate performance for many applications, including electr...

Hybrid CdZnTe and CdTe pixel detector arrays with 50 50 micron pixel sizes that convert x-rays directly into charge signals are under development at NOVA for applications to digital mammography. CdZnTe and CdTe have superior x-ray quantum efficiency compared to either emulsion-based film, phosphor-based detectors or other low-Z, solid-state detectors such as silicon. In this paper, latest resul...
متن کاملModal Analysis of SPRITE Noise Spectra
The detector noise is the key limit to any imaging system. The unique design of Signal PRocessing In The Element (SPRITE) detectors provides measurable signal to noise improvement over ordinary detectors. The analysis and description of the noise in this type of detector is complicated by the fact that transport phenomena ifiter the noise specira prior to readout. Previous analyses of the noise...
