1. An imager array, comprising:
a plurality of focal planes, where each focal plane comprises a plurality of rows of pixels that also form a plurality of columns of pixels and each focal plane is contained within a region of the imager array that does not contain pixels from another focal plane; at least one quantum film associated with one of the plurality of focal planes, located on the surface of the imager array, where each quantum film comprises a plurality of quantum dots;
wherein the at least one quantum film includes only quantum dots that are sensitive to a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that approximately corresponds to wavelengths characterized as one of: X-ray radiation, ultraviolet radiation, visible radiation, and near infrared radiation: control circuitry configured to control the capture of image information by the pixels within the focal planes, where the control circuitry is configured so that the capture of image information by the pixels in at least two of the focal planes is separately controllable; and sampling circuitry configured to convert pixel outputs into digital pixel data. |
