Optical detectors for aerospace applications encompass photodiodes, avalanche photodiodes (APDs), charge-coupled devices (CCDs), complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) imaging arrays, and photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), operating across UV, visible, and near-IR spectral bands to convert incident photons into measurable electrical signals for use in LIDAR, star trackers, fibre-optic sensing systems, and optical proximity and presence detection.
