Numerous devices and detectors sense and catalog deep ultraviolet frequencies that the Earth’s ozone layer otherwise absorbs. Most solar-blind space-borne imaging platforms still rely on photomultiplier tubes and/or microchannel plates working with silicon photodiodes that increase the systems’ complexity and weight.
