  2. Position sensitive device - Wikipedia

    The 2-D tetra-lateral PSD has the advantages of fast response, much lower dark current, easy bias application and lower fabrication cost. Its measurement accuracy and resolution is independent of the spot shape and size unlike the quadrant detector which could be easily changed by air turbulence. However, it suffers from the nonlinearity problem.

  3. Quadrant (instrument) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrant_(instrument)

    A large frame quadrant at the Beijing Ancient Observatory.It was constructed in 1673. A quadrant is an instrument used to measure angles up to 90°.Different versions of this instrument could be used to calculate various readings, such as longitude, latitude, and time of day.

    The resulting vibration of the cantilever is detected using usual scanned-probe microscopy methods (typically involving a diode laser and a four-quadrant detector). A null circuit is used to drive the DC potential of the tip to a value which minimizes the vibration.

    This method typically uses a four-quadrant BSE detector (alternatively for one manufacturer, a 3-segment detector). The microscope produces four images of the same specimen at the same time, so no tilt of the sample is required. The method gives metrological 3D dimensions as far as the slope of the specimen remains reasonable. [43]

    Astronomy enthusiasts, brace yourselves for a dazzling display as the Quadrantids, the first meteor shower of 2025, light up the sky. The Quadrantids are unique among meteor showers as they ...

  8. Phase detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_detector

    A phase frequency detector (PFD) is an asynchronous circuit originally made of four flip-flops (i.e., the phase-frequency detectors found in both the RCA CD4046 and the motorola MC4344 ICs introduced in the 1970s). The logic determines which of the two signals has a zero-crossing earlier or more often.
