Title: Innovations by Xiaochao Xu in X-ray Detection Systems

Introduction

Xiaochao Xu is a prominent inventor based in Pleasanton, CA, specializing in advanced detection systems for x-ray and charged particle imaging. With a total of 2 patents, his work significantly contributes to the field of x-ray microscopy.

Latest Patents

Xu's latest patents include a "Spectrally and spatially resolved x-ray and particle detection system." This innovative detection system utilizes high bandgap, direct conversion x-ray detection materials. The system records the signal of the x-ray or charged particle projection in a spatial light modulator, such as a liquid crystal light valve. The light valve is read out by a polarized light optical microscope and a high-speed camera, which tracks blooming spots in the light valve to resolve their intensity. This allows for spatially resolved imaging in x-ray and charged particle spectrometry. Another notable patent is the "High resolution light valve detector for detecting x-ray." This system also employs high bandgap, direct conversion x-ray detection materials and mitigates light loss in the optical system compared to current scintillator-optical microscope-camera detection systems.
