System and method for crystal-to-channel coupling

A system for reading out signals from an optical sensor array, the optical sensor array comprising a plurality of optical sensors arranged in rows and columns, each optical sensor in the array corresponding to a pixel, the system comprises:

• a plurality of first channels;
• a plurality of second channels;
• and
• a first processor electrically connected to the plurality of optical sensors via the plurality of first channels and the plurality of second channels, each first channel being electrically connected to a subset of optical sensors in a corresponding row of the optical sensor array,
• where there is at least one optical sensor between connections,
• each second channel being electrically connected to a subset of optical sensors in a corresponding column of the optical sensor array,
• where there is at least one optical sensor between connections,
• where signals are readout by the first processor via the plurality of first channels and the plurality of second channels, and
• the first processor causes power to be supplied to each of the plurality of optical sensors to bias the optical sensors during a readout.
