Position sensitive detector and method using successive interdigitated electrodes with different patterns

摘要

A position sensitive detector and method are disclosed wherein an image of incident radiation is detected and amplified and an accelerated charged image is produced corresponding spatially to the incident radiation. The accelerated charged image is successively impinged on successive pairs of interdigitated electrodes having different electrode patterns and the output of the electrodes is compared for determining the location of the charges making up the charged image.
