Abstract:
1. A one-dimensional multi-element photo detector, comprising: a photodiode array, including a first upper row of photodiode pixels and a second lower row of photodiode pixels, wherein the photodiode array is part of and not a separate physical component mounted to the photo detector; a scintillator array, including a first upper row and a second lower row of scintillator pixels, wherein the first upper and second lower rows of scintillator pixels are respectively optically coupled to the first upper and second lower rows of photodiode pixels; readout electronics, wherein the readout electronics are part of the photo detector wherein and the readout electronics are not a separate physical component mounted to the photo detector, and electrical traces that interconnect the photodiode pixels and the readout electronics, wherein the photo detector is double sided, and the double-sided photo detector comprises two one-dimensional multi-element photo detectors coupled back to back.
