Abstract

See full text

An exploiting or readout circuit for a linear or matrix type photodetector array is of the multiplex type, such as a charge-coupled device (CCD). The exploiting circuit has a number of input stages corresponding to the number of photodetectors or similar photosites, and the gains of the input stages are established as a function of the fields of view of their associated photodetectors. In one embodiment the input stages each comprise a storage device formed of a first and a second storage electrode separated by a dividing electrode, the storage electrodes having respective surface areas selected in a relation that varies as a function of solid angle field of view of the respective photodetector. In another embodiment the input stage can include an OpAmp with a negative feedback capacitor whose value is selected as a function of the viewing solid angle of the respective photodetector.
