متن کاملUV Technology Overview
Ultraviolet (UV) image sensors have been and are actively being developed for a variety of space-borne astronomy missions. There is a large range in the maturity of UV detectors. Some systems have already flown numerous times and still continue to undergo refinements. At the other extreme, there are potentially breakthrough novel devices that require the development of several fundamental techn...
متن کاملNeural Monitoring With CMOS Image Sensors
Implantable image sensors have several biomedical applications due to their miniature size, light weight, and low power consumption achieved through sub-micron standard CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) technologies. The main applications are in specific cell labeling, neural activity detection, and biomedical imaging. In this paper the recent research studies on implantable CMOS i...

Optical fibres have already played a huge part in ground based astronomical instrumentation, however, with the revolution in photonics currently taking place new fibre technologies and integrated optical devices are likely to have a profound impact on the way we manipulate light in the future. The Anglo Australian Observatory, along with partners at the Optical Fibre Technology Centre of the Un...
متن کاملTeledyne Imaging Sensors: Silicon CMOS imaging technologies for x-ray, UV, visible and near infrared
Teledyne Imaging Sensors develops and produces high performance silicon-based CMOS image sensors, with associated electronics and packaging for astronomy and civil space. Teledyne’s silicon detector sensors use two technologies: monolithic CMOS, and silicon PIN hybrid CMOS. Teledyne’s monolithic CMOS sensors are large (up to 59 million pixels), low noise (2.8 ereadout noise demonstrated, 1-2 en...
