Abstract
There has been provided a monolithic three dimensional image optical receiver having contiguous detectors formed into a solid state lens for producing photogenerated electrons. A plurality of collectors, one each located in communication with the detectors, are disposed on a substrate and having spaced or interstices therebetween. An exponentially variable programmable gain control is located on the image or radiation receiving side of the detector.
