  • Publication number: 20120217399
    Abstract: An embodiment of a sensing apparatus can comprise a sensor and a controller. The sensor can be configured to detect broadband electromagnetic (EM) radiation and generate electrical signals in response to the detected broadband EM radiation. The controller is coupled to the sensor and configured to receive the electrical signals and process the electrical signals to segment the sensor response to broadband EM radiation into a plurality of digitized pixels.
