摘要:
A fast photon detector with high energy and position resolution, which may be used in the infrared, ultraviolet, EUV, and X-ray ranges includes an absorber, a thermoelectric sensor, a heat sink, all disposed on a dielectric substrate. An absorber receives a photon and transforms the energy of the photon into a change in temperature within the absorber. A thermoelectric sensor is thermally coupled to the absorber. When the absorber receives the photon, the energy of the photon is very quickly transformed into a time dependent temperature difference across the sensor. A heat sink is thermally coupled to the sensor, to maintain the heat flow across the sensor. The absorber, sensor, and heat sink are disposed upon a dielectric substrate, such that the heat transfer from the sensor to the dielectric substrate is much slower than the signal duration.

A Fourier transform microscope for use in imaging a source of x-ray and/or gamma-ray radiation includes first and second grids arranged in proximity to the source. The first grid includes an arrangement of first subgrids elements with a first predetermined number n of approximately parallel, equally-spaced linear first ribs which are opaque to the radiation of interest, and first radiation-transparent regions which are arranged in alternation with the first ribs. The second grid includes an arrangement of second subgrids elements which are larger than the first subgrids elements, and which have a common field of view with corresponding first subgrid elements. Each second subgrid element has a second predetermined number n+m of approximately parallel, equally-spaced linear second ribs which are opaque to the radiation of interest, and second radiation-transparent regions which alternate with the second ribs. Each first subgrid element and its corresponding second subgrid element is termed a `subgrid system`. Each subgrid system can be used to derive an amplitude and phase of an associated Fourier component. A position-sensitive detector detects a Moire or fringe pattern from wach subgrid system and generates a signal indicative of the radiation intensity distribution image of the source in spatial frequency domain which can be converted into a radiation intensity distribution image of the source in spatial domain using a Fourier transform.

摘要:
A system and method for navigation utilizing sources of pulsed celestial radiation are provided. A spacecraft, satellite, or other vehicle (12) has a pulse sensor (22) mounted thereto for detecting signal pulses (14) generated by a plurality of pulsars or other celestial objects (16). The detected signal pulses (14) are synchronously averaged at the known period of the pulsar or other celestial object (16) with respect to a timer (24). Timer (24) measures the pulse time of arrival at the pulse sensor (22) by comparing the pulse signal (14) with a pulse shape template (52), and a processing means (30) calculates the offset time between the measured pulse time of arrival at sensor (22) with a calculated pulse time of arrival at the solar system barycenter (SSBC). The positions and pulse profile characteristics of the pulsars (16) are stored in a digital memory (34) and combining the calculated time offset with the known positions of pulsars (16), the navigational position, velocity, attitude and time of spacecraft (12) with respect to the SSBC can be calculated.
