LIGHT DETECTOR

摘要

A light sensor and method of detecting light using the light sensor (100) are provided. The light sensor (100) includes a container having an anode compartment (107) and a cathode compartment (108). The anode compartment (107) has an anode (105) and the cathode compartment (108) has a cathode (106). The container also includes a transparent portion (103) that allows light into the anode compartment (107). A membrane (131) separates the anode compartment (107) and the cathode compartment (108). The membrane (131) is able to allow protons to pass from the anode compartment (107) to the cathode compartment(108). The anode compartment (107) includes a photon-converting compound ("PCC") for generating electrons by reaction with light. Also included are an imaging device (700) and a method of using the imaging device.
