Amplyfy voltage between Transistors in Current mirror setup?

I have a Bottom Gate TFT transistor:

  • W/l=320um
  • Substrate: corning glass
  • Gate: 60nm Molibdenum
  • Dielectric: 350 nm Ta2O5
  • Semiconductor: 30nm IGZO
  • S-D: Molibdenum 60nm

It is wired like in current mirror setup https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_mirror#Basic_MOSFET_current_mirror :

schematic

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab

I am forcing pulses of Current IDS and registering VGS=VDS This is what it looks like on the SMU:

  • PLot 1: CH1 IDS VS time
  • Plot 2: Ch1 VGS vs time

Plots

I want to wire a second transistor in the same way, get a recording VGS2 and then find the difference VGS1-VGS2.

The application

I am using the TFT to detect Ionizing radiation: The X-ray radiation creates electron-hole pairs in the Dielectric, which then affect the VGS recorded for a fixed ISD

Here is a plot showing how the VGS curve changes with the radiation exposure VGS vs Time

##EDIT-from remices2 answer## Does the circuit in the answer of remicles2 work? since it has only gotten down votes for now, but I think because it wasn't using my original circuit (which I edited now since I think it was my circuit that was wrong)
