ABSTRACT:
A sensitive detector and detector system with multi-state element or elements employing the phenomenon of stochastic resonance to enhance signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and detector sensitivity. Signal output is enhanced by the addition of external noise at the input. A single detector element has these improved outputs. Several stochastic resonance elements may be connected in arrays to further increase SNR of the output, increase detector sensitivity, and linearize the relation between input and output.
