An improved fiber optic matrix coding method and apparatus for a radiation image amplifier is disclosed. The improved method and apparatus permits the determination of the location of detected incident radiation to within an area approximately equal to the cross-sectional area of one of the optical fibers in the coding matrix, thereby providing a four-fold reduction in the number of optical fibers currently required to obtain a radiation image of comparable resolution. The improved method and apparatus also yields a four-fold improvement in the resolution of the timing pulse, thereby permitting the achievement of correspondingly higher rates for processing radiation image data.
