Abstract :
[en] BOLD (Blind to the Optical Light Detectors) is an international initiative dedicated to the development of novel imaging detectors for UV solar observations. It relies on the diamond and nitride materials that have lately undergone key advances. The investigation is proposed in view of Solar Orbiter UV instruments, for which the expected properties of the new sensors-visible blindness and radiation hardness-will be highly beneficial. Solar Orbiter is a selected Flexi mission of the European Space Agency (ESA). Despite various improvements over the last few decades, the present UV detectors exhibit limitations inherent to their actual technology. Yet the utmost spatial resolution, temporal cadence, sensitivity, and photometric accuracy will be decisive for the forthcoming space solar missions. The advent of imagers made of a large bandgap semiconductor would surmount many weaknesses, thus opening up new prospects and making the instruments cheaper. As for the ESA Solar Orbiter, the aspiration for wide bandgap semi conductor-based UV detectors is still more sensible, for the spacecraft will approach the Sun where the heat and the radiation fluxes are high. We depict motivations and present activities and programme to achieve revolutionary flight cameras within the Solar Orbiter schedule. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
