Abstract
An improved radiant energy sensor incorporating a number of elongated detectors, circuitry, and narrow grooves on a crystalline substrate is described which receives radiant energy in the direction of the elongated detectors where the elongated detectors are electrically and optically isolated from adjacent detectors by narrow grooves in the substrate and where the detectors hold the incident radiant energy within the detector by the reflection of the radiant energy from the side surfaces of the same narrow grooves.
