Microchannel plate detector technology potential for LUVOIR and HabEx
Microchannel plate (MCP) detectors have been the detector of choice for ultraviolet (UV) instruments onboard many NASA missions. These detectors have many advantages, including high spatial resolution (<20 mu m), photon counting, radiation hardness, large formats (up to 20 cm), and ability for cu...
