Patent ID: 8686346

Claim:
A frequency selective imaging system, the system comprising: at least one intensity control device that selects a range of a rate of arrival of the photons that are to be sensed; at least one polarization control device for selecting a polarization of the photons that are to be sensed; at least one focusing element for focusing the photons that are being sensed; at least one frequency selective imager, wherein the at least one frequency selective imager detects the photons that are focused from the at least one focusing element, wherein when the at least one frequency selective imager senses at least one photon, the at least one frequency selective imager emits at least one electrical pulse having a voltage that is proportional to an energy level of the at least one photon; and at least one processor for processing the at least one electrical pulse and for generating a multi-spectral image from information from the at least one electrical pulse.
