Abstract
A digital light detector system using a self-scanned silicon photodiode array with 128 elements has been developed for use in a solar spectrograph and a photographic-plate photometer. Noise patterns are reduced in software, making the signal-to-noise level essentially limited by the 10-bit hardware resolution.
