摘要:
A method for increasing the dynamic range of non-linear devices, such as a SiPM. By rendering the incoming flux of photos non-uniform, a significant increase in the useful dynamic range can be achieved. The desired distortion of the incoming flux can be achieved in a variety of ways. These include simple non-focused lenses, prisms, interference films, mirrors, and attenuating films. Virtually any device which distorts the incoming flux will increase the dynamic range of the SiPM and combinations may be used to tailor the response to a desired application.
