ABSTRACT

A micro-channel plate detector with wedge and strip anode can be used for visible and ultraviolet light imaging. In this paper, the imager electronics are designed in order to process specific output charge characteristics. The original signal output from the detector is shaped into a Gaussian pulse signal, and a digital Constant Fraction Discriminator is used to judge the arrival time of the pulse. The resolution of the electronic output image is 1024 × 1024, and the position decoding accuracy is 1 pixel. The experimental imaging resolving power of the detector is as high as 70 µm.
