ABSTRACT:
A CCD imager for extracting the spectral information from impinging photons and having a multiple photon collection structure through which protons must serially traverse. The carriers generated by the impinging photons are collected by two or more collection regions in each resolution element and the ratio of the relative responses of each of the collection regions can be used to derive spectral information. The CCD imager is fabricated such that both the holes and the electrons generated by the impinging photons are collected, detected, stored, and transferred. Furthermore, the collection of both the holes and the electrons generated by the impinging photons in the CCD imager enables the generation of spectral information without degradation of detector quantum efficiency and can further enable the generation of complete spectral information when used to detect impinging photons comprising mono-energetic optical signals.
