Abstract

A multilinear charge transfer array is provided formed by N lines of P photosensitie detectors. Each photosensitive detector is connected directly by a connection to a demultiplexing and reading system, the signals obtained at the output of the array being fed to a processing device external to the array. The demultiplexing system comprises a charge transfer shift register with N.times.P stages, the connections between each detector and the corresponding input of the register being provided so that the detectors of the same rank are connected to contiguous inputs.
