What does it look like? http://lw.pennnet.com/Articles/Article_Display.cfm?Section=ARCHI&Subsection=Display&ARTICLE_ID=36131&KEYWORD=ingaas%20photodiode%20arrays&p=13 http://www1.shimadzu.com/products/lab/spectro/multi.html
How does it work? http://elchem.kaist.ac.kr/vt/chem-ed/optics/detector/pda.htm Basically, a whole bunch of capacitors that detect how much charge was released.
