| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The extreme ultraviolet (EUV) telescopes and spectrometers have been used as powerful tools in a variety of space applications, especially in planetary science. However, the conventional detection systems has limitations of resolution and incident count rate. One of the solutions of this issue is using a CMOS imaging sensor. We developed a new CMOS-coupled microchannel plate (MCP) detector for future UV space and planetary missions. It consists of MCPs followed by a phosphor screen, fiber optic plate, and a windowless CMOS. We manufactured a test model of this detector and performed vibration, thermal cycle, and performance tests. Our results indicate that this new type of UV detector can be widely used for future space applications.
