A Double-mode Linear Imaging System for IC-compatible Microspectrometers in Visible Light

In this thesis, a double-mode linear imaging system is designed for the application of microspectrometers. The imaging system is optimized so as to work with a Planar Double Grating System and a Linear Variable Optical Filter, the combinations of which would be suitable candidates of high-resolution low-cost microspectrometers. This linear...

Charge Domain Interlacing CMOS Image Sensor Design

This thesis presents a CMOS image sensor which can implement the charge domain interlacing principle. Inspired by the shared amplifier pixel structure and based on a pinned photodiode four transistor (4T) structure, two innovative pixel designs combined with two different readout directions are presented. These novel pixels are designed to fit...
