Optically coupled readout front-end for imaging system |
摘要 |
A front end for an imaging system. The front end comprises at least one magnetically-insensitive high-energy photon detector and an interface for converting an output of the at least one high-energy photon detector to an optical signal and transmitting the optical signal. A receiver is optically coupled to the interface to receive the optical signal and convert the optical signal into a voltage signal. |

1. A front end for an imaging system comprising:
a magnetically-insensitive high energy photon detector configured to receive emitted photons and produce an output; and an interface coupled to said high energy photon detector configured to convert an output of said high energy photon detector to an optical signal and transmit said optical signal; wherein said interface comprises: an amplifier coupled to said high energy photon detector and configured to convert the output of the high energy photon detector to a voltage; a driver coupled to said amplifier and configured to receive the voltage and drive a laser diode. |
