A Thick-Film Hybrid Laser Target Board

The concept and feasibility of a thick-film thermistor array laser target board is presented. Laser detector concepts are reviewed, and the justification for using a thick-film hybrid array is given. The design concepts and theoretically predicted performance are presented, and experimental results are compared to predictions. The hybrid approach is believed capable of producing a practical laser target board that is fast, reliable, inexpensive, and portable.
