A hybrid matrix array detector is developed for ultra-fast plasma imaging applications with the use of XUV Si photodiodes (SPD diodes) manufactured according to Ioffe Institute original technology. A basic 16 × 16 hybrid module is comprised of eight stacked sub-modules with 2 × 16 linear SPD diode arrays combined with a circuit board with a 32-channel preamplifier and four 8-channel fast multiplexers. Array front size is 31 × 31 mm2 with ∼25 % sensitive area. The module has a “zero-edge” design providing an option of stacking into the larger arrays, if necessary. The data acquisition system (DAS) consists of eight 4-channel synchronous 12-bit ADC modules with 40 MS/s upper sampling rate, thus providing less than 1 μs minimum time for the complete read-out of the array. Each channel has a 64 MB on-board memory limiting the duration of the acquired period to 0.8 sec at the maximum sampling rate. A common TCP/IP Ethernet protocol is used for the data transmission into the main PC operating as a DAS control console, data preview and storage computer.
