Intensified Silicon Diode-Array Target TV-Camera Tube (EBSICON); Description and Mathematical Model

Abstract

In the document the mechanical configuration and the electrical operation of a low light level TV scanning image tube which incorporates high optical gain and image storage is described. The physical phenomena associated with these properties are described. From analytical descriptions of the phenomena, a mathematical model is developed. The computer program implementations of the model provide economical tools for overall system design considerations. These implementations of the model are flexible enough to encompass all sensor tube characteristics and their operating modes conceivable at this time. Where sufficiently accurate tube and operating parameters were available, comparisons of the model performance with experimental data showed very good quantitative agreement.
