The’Light-in-Flight‘Imaging with a Silicon Image Sensor Operating at 10 ns

摘要

PURPOSE A silicon image sensor operating at the frame interval of 10 ns (the equivalent frame rate:100 Mfps) was developed. The pixel and the frame counts are respectively 576 x 512 pixels and 10 frames. The sensor was applied to“The Light-in-Flight imaging”. The frame rate is highest among those of the image sensors capturing consecutively more than several frames. The theoretical highest frame rate of the silicon image sensor is about 10 ps1). The frame interval of 100 ps is achievable with the existing technologoies2). The sub-nano-second image sensors will innovate advanced measurement technologies, such as LIDAR, FLIM and Imaging TOF MS.
