Title:
PHOTONIC DETECTOR DEVICE AND METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005118962
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A device and method are presented for use in measuring photon energy. The device comprises at least one pixel unit (10) including a Photocathode (12) that emits electrons in response to absorbed photons; an Anode (14); and a control unit (19) operable for controllin an electric current from the Photocathode (12) to the Anode (14) so as to selectively prevent electrons' arrival to the Anode (14) to thereby scan a spectrum of photon energies incident on the Photocathode (12).
