Abstract
A detector incorporating a laser-doped element that is favorably absorbing to at least a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, for example in the infra-red range, is used in a light detector article. Readout circuits permitting a detector to operate in a substantial range of the electromagnetic spectrum, including the visual and infra-red range, enable day and night imaging in some embodiments. Configurations for making the detectors are also provided.
