Visible and infrared solid-state image sensors

This paper reviews the progress, major issues, and trends in the development of solid-state visible and infrared image sensors. The most common photodetector readout structure and imager architectures are discussed. This presentation also includes a brief review of recently reported visible and infrared image sensing arrays.
