Multiple screen detection systems
First Claim
1. A detection system for detecting electromagnetic radiation comprising:
- an enclosure having two adjacent walls, each having interior surfaces, a first end and a second end, wherein the first ends of the two adjacent walls are connected at an angle to form an interior and wherein the second ends of the two adjacent walls are connected to a semi-circular housing;
at least one substrate, positioned on each of said interior surfaces of the adjacent walls, wherein each substrate further comprises an active area for receiving and converting electromagnetic radiation into light; and
a photodetector, positioned in the interior portion of the semi-circular housing, wherein said photodetector has an active area responsive to the light.

Abstract
The present specification discloses an improved detection system employing multiple screens for greater detection efficiency. More particularly, a first enclosure has two adjacent walls, each with interior surfaces, a first end and a second end. The first ends of the two adjacent walls are connected at an angle to form an interior and the second ends of the two adjacent walls are connected to a semi-circular housing. At least one substrate, positioned on each of the interior surfaces of the adjacent walls, has an active area for receiving and converting electromagnetic radiation into light. A photodetector, positioned in the interior portion of the semi-circular housing, has an active area responsive to the light.
