Abstract

The use of silicon-diode-array charge-storage targets in vidicon type of operation is discussed extensively in Chapter 15 and in published literature.1–7 Since the initial Introduction of such a vidicon tube by the Bell Telephone Laboratories, general interest in silicon-diode-array targets has developed greatly.

Called SiEBIR in this text, EBS by Westinghouse, SIT by RCA, and IDAC (Intensified Diode Array Camera) by the U.S. Army.
