Design and characterisation of a fast CMOS APS imager for high speed laser detection

CMOS active pixel sensors (APS) have performances competitive with CCD technology, and offer advantages in on-chip functionality, system power reduction, cost and miniaturisation. We present design of a fast CMOS APS imager for high speed laser detections which can replace the streak cameras. This i...

Summary:CMOS active pixel sensors (APS) have performances competitive with CCD technology, and offer advantages in on-chip functionality, system power reduction, cost and miniaturisation. We present design of a fast CMOS APS imager for high speed laser detections which can replace the streak cameras. This imager is composed of 64/spl times/64 active pixels. The simulation and experimental results show that a gain of 7.3 /spl mu//spl nu//e/sup -/ has been obtained with a noise level of 106 e rms. The power consumption of the chip is 30 mW at 50 images/sec.
