Kinetic inductance detector — Chip containing aluminium kinetic inductance detectors with tin absorbers. Image credit: Argonne National Lab. The kinetic inductance detector (KID) also known as a microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) is a type of superconducting photon… … Wikipedia
Bat detector — The term bat detector is usually used to describe a device used to detect the presence of bats by converting their echolocation ultrasound signals to audible frequencies as they are emitted by the bats. There are other types of detector which… … Wikipedia
SPRITE infrared detector — The SPRITE infrared detector is named after the process of signal integration carried out by Signal Processing In The Element . The technique was invented at the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment at Malvern by a team of scientists including… … Wikipedia
Infrared detector — An infrared detector is a photodetector that reacts to infrared (IR) radiation. The two main types of detectors are thermal and photonic.The thermal effects of the incident IR radiation can be followed through many temperature dependent phenomena … Wikipedia
Geophysical MASINT — is a branch of Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT) that involves phenomena transmitted through the earth (ground, water, atmosphere) and manmade structures including emitted or reflected sounds, pressure waves, vibrations, and… … Wikipedia
Active pixel sensor — An active pixel sensor (APS) is an image sensor consisting of an integrated circuit containing an array of pixel sensors, each pixel containing a photodetector and an active amplifier. There are many types of active pixel sensors including the… … Wikipedia
Staring array — A staring array, staring plane array, focal plane array (FPA) or focal plane is an image sensing device consisting of an array (typically rectangular) of light sensing pixels at the focal plane of a lens. FPAs are used most commonly for imaging… … Wikipedia
