Abstract
The present disclosure relates to optical receiver systems. An example system includes a plurality of substrates disposed in an edge-to-edge array along a primary axis. Each respective substrate of the plurality of substrates includes a plurality of detector elements. Each detector element of the plurality of detector elements generates a respective detector signal in response to light received by the detector element. The plurality of detector elements is arranged with a detector pitch between adjacent detector elements of the plurality of detector elements. Each respective substrate of the plurality of substrates also includes a signal receiver circuit configured to receive the detector signals generated by the plurality of detector elements. The respective substrates of the plurality of substrates are disposed such that the detector pitch is maintained between adjacent detector elements on their respective substrates.
