BASE PHOTODETECTOR OF FACET VIEW SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G02B3/10 G02B3/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: base photodetector of the facet view system is designed in the from of the micro-cells, each of them comprises a microlens, wherein the device is in the form of eighteen microcells, each of them is provided with a photodetector, on which the image of the corresponding microlens is projected, wherein the photodetectors are of regular hexagonal shape to form a central ring of the adjoining from the first to the sixth photodetectors of the first group with the emitter followers included at their corresponding outputs, the output signals of which are summed by the first analog adder. Herewith the central ring is closed with the peripheral ring consisting of the adjoining from the seventh to the eighteenth photodetectors of the second group with the emitter followers included at their corresponding outputs, the output signals of which are summed by the second analog adder. The device further comprises six parallel adders of the partial sums.

EFFECT: reducing image distortion regardless of the ommatidia inclination angle.
