Diamond Ultra-Violet Imaging Sensors

Diamond Ultra-Violet Imaging Sensors take advantage of diamond's unique combination of high carrier mobility and high radiation tolerance. Diamond is extremely radiation tolerant and has excellent electronic transport properties. DUVS will extend the state-of-the-art of ultra-violet detectors in the areas of total dose detection, fluence range, speed of response, temperature of operation and allow for construction of imaging detectors. Radiation tolerant ultra-violet detectors have a wide range of commercial applications in medical electronics and analytical instruments. Other applications including power station monitors, food irradiation plants, nuclear waste disposal monitoring, and high energy physics programs will also benefit from the potentially low cost of DUVS.
