Abstract
A method and corresponding device for determining the phase and/or amplitude data of an electromagnetic wave. The method comprises the steps: beaming an electromagnetic wave onto the surface of at least one pixel having at least two light sensitive modulation gates G, Gand associated accumulation gates Gand G, applying modulation voltages U(t) and U(t) to gates Gand G, applying a direct voltage to accumulation gates Gand G, wherein the charge carriers produced in modulation gates Gand Gby the incident electromagnetic wave being subjected to a potential gradient due to the modulation voltages U(t) and U(t), thereby drifting to the corresponding accumulation gate Gor G, and forwarding the charge carriers to evaluation electronics. A plurality of corresponding pixels can be assembled to form an array.
