Abstract

A photodetector array having reflector means positioned over the low response regions between elements of the array. Light incident on the reflector means is reflected into a high response region of the array. The invention also includes a method of forming the reflector means comprising the steps of forming wedge-shaped projections on the surface of a mold, coating the projections with a reflective material, filling the space between the coated projections with a transparent material and separating the mold from the material with the reflective layer adhered to the material.
