Photon Detector Types
Photon detectors are fundamental to space instruments from telescopes to radiation detectors, and cover a range of formats from single pixel up to multi-megapixel imagers.
At MSSL, we have expertise in
- CCDs and CMOS imagers for wavelengths from near-Infrared to X-ray
- Microchannel plate Intensified devices for visual/UV single-photon imaging
- Thermal Infrared cameras for earth and cloud observation
- Imaging proportional counters for X-ray telescopes
- Solid-state detectors for hard X-rays and Gamma-rays
