Cross-delay-line microchannel plate detectors for the Spectrographic Imager on the IMAGE satellite

TL;DR: In this article, a micro-channel plate detector utilizing a cross delay line readout system for the IMAGE-FUV Spectrographic Imager is presented, optimized for operation in the far UV with a KBr photocathode.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Microchannel plate detector technology potential for LUVOIR and HabEx

TL;DR: In this paper, borosilicate glass MCPs with atomic layer deposition combine extremely low backgrounds, high strength, and tunable secondary electron yield for ultraviolet (UV) instruments onboard many NASA missions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The current and future capabilities of MCP based UV detectors

TL;DR: In this paper, the current capabilities of microchannel plate-based UV detectors are reviewed, both in the laboratory and aboard current on-orbit spacecraft, and what can be expected from the next generation of UV detectors over the next decade.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Microchannel plates: recent advances in performance

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that recent work has improved the consistency of obtaining highquantum detection efficiency, and has virtually eliminated the causes of fixed pattern noise due to fabrication issues.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Design and predicted performance of the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer

TL;DR: The Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) satellite as discussed by the authors was designed to obtain high spectral resolving power ((lambda) /(Delta) (lambda) equals 30,000) measurements of astrophysical objects in the 905 - 1195 angstroms wavelength region from low-earth orbit.
