  • SEMICONDUCTOR RADIATION DETECTOR ARRAY
    Publication number: 20160033658
    Abstract: A radiation detector with improved performance includes a probe and a first detector element constructed from planar semiconductor material in the probe. The detector further includes a second detector element constructed from planar semiconductor material in the probe. The detector further includes a focal point located outside of the probe. The detector further includes a circuit in communication with the detector elements. The first and second detector elements face the focal point and have the same solid angle relative to the focal point. The detector elements generate signals in response to incident radiation. The circuit receives the signals generated by the detector elements.

  • Radiation detector system having heat pipe based cooling
    Patent number: 7129501
    Abstract: A radiation detector system having a heat pipe based cooling. The radiation detector system includes a radiation detector thermally coupled to a thermo electric cooler (TEC). The TEC cools down the radiation detector, whereby heat is generated by the TEC. A heat removal device dissipates the heat generated by the TEC to surrounding environment. A heat pipe has a first end thermally coupled to the TEC to receive the heat generated by the TEC, and a second end thermally coupled to the heat removal device. The heat pipe transfers the heat generated by the TEC from the first end to the second end to be removed by the heat removal device.
