Abstract: An imaging plate comprising a first conductive layer having a plurality of conductive segments arranged thereabout, a photoconductive sandwich structure affixed to the first conductive layer, and a second conductive layer integrally affixed to the side of the photoconductive sandwich structure opposite the first conductive layer. The conductive segments of the first conductive layer are electrically connected to a conductor such that each of the conductive segments are selectively addressable. Each of the conductive segments is a conductive strip separated from adjacent conductive strips by dielectric material. The conductor is an accumulator bar extending across the conductive layer transverse to the conductive strips. A photoconductive bridge conects each of the conductive strips with the accumulator bar. The photoconductive bridge is a photoconductive dot. Each of the photoconductive dots is addressable by a properly positioned photon beam.

Abstract: A dynamic infrared simulation cell comprising a photoconductive layer, a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and an external energy source. The first conductive layer is affixed about one side of the photoconductive layer and is transmissive with respect to radiation of known energy. The second conductive layer is affixed about the other side of the photoconductive layer. The external energy source connects to the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. The photoconductive layer is a plurality of segments of photoconductive silicon material. A dielectric material fills the areas between the segments of photoconductive material. The first conductive layer is a transparent layer of gold material. The second conductive layer is a layer of aluminum material. An enclosure is available for maintaining the cell in a darkened environment.

Abstract: An imaging plate structure having a first conductive layer, a first insulative layer, a photoconductive layer, a second insulative layer, and a second conductive layer. The first insulative layer is integrally affixed to the side of the first conductive layer. The photoconductive layer is integrally affixed to the other side of the first insulative layer. The second insulative layer is integrally affixed to the other side of the photoconductive layer. The second conductive layer is integrally affixed to the other side of the second insulative layer. Both the first and the second insulative layers have a thickness suitable for preventing charge tunnelling therethrough. These first and second insulative layers are made of a true insulator material. The photoconductive layer is comprised of a photoconductor that is responsive to radiation of known energy. The first conductive layer and the first insulative layer are transmissive with respect to the radiation acting on the imaging plate.
