PentaVacâ„¢ Vacuum Technology: Scientific CCD Applications
5/28/2020
CCD imaging sensors are used extensively in high-end imaging applications, enabling acquisition of quantitative images with both high (spatial) resolution and high sensitivity. There are some photon-starved applications which require even these highly sensitive devices to be used with both long integration (exposure) times and high amounts of binning (on-chip charge summation) in order to obtain a detectable signal. For these type of applications the CCD sensor must be deep cooled in order to reduce the noise component associated with dark signal. PentaVac™ Technology from Raptor Photonics is available for a range of sensor types and formats, with a range of TECs and cooling methods which can be tailored for specific application requirements.
