which can be “gated” to accurately temporally isolate useful signals at nanosecond speeds, therefore acting as an optical shutter . The resulting photoelectrons are accelerated and directed toward a thin honeycomb microchannel plate (MCP). The photoelectron
and is constructed using transmissive conductive glass components to sandwich the liquid-crystal material. Simple optical shutters based on liquid crystal technology have been available for many years. But with new and varied markets and applications
sensitivity While full-frame imagers use all the silicon area to capture photons, the requirement of an electromechanical or optical shutter adds cost to any systems that incorporate them. Furthermore, while the device is shuttered, no images can be captured
