'Revolutionary' is used too often to describe advances in science. When applied to the invention of the charge-coupled device (CCD) array by Willard Boyle and George Smith, however, it is not far ...

The sensor area matches the existing 2/3″ optical format that’s common with video cameras so the new CCD array will work with existing video-camera lenses and the sensor array’s packaging is the same ...

Placing a CCD array at the prime focus of a telescope or observatory is a surefire way to get an outstanding image; a technique that's been in use for well over 100 years. But is it possible to ...

Despite improvements in the performance of cameras based on CCD (charge-coupled device) arrays, the rate at which they can capture multiple images is typically limited to around a thousand frames ...

We have also packaged monolithic 4096x4096 CCD arrays cut from the 100 mm silicon wafers that contained four functional 2048x2048 edge-abuttable imagers. The quadrants of the monolithic array are ...

B&W Tek, Inc. is proudly shipping the i-trometer series CCD array, low cost spectrometers. Using a high UV-NIR response wide dynamic range back-thinned CCD array with a low stray light optical bench, ...

LANSIS cameras represent the latest in CCD array detector technology specifically tailored to OEMs. Michael Case, product manager at Teledyne Princeton Instruments notes, “LANSIS camera ...

QE65000 Spectrometer Has Back-thinned CCD Detector for Low-Light Level Applications. Dunedin, Fla., November 2006 - The QE65000 from Ocean Optics is a high-sensitivity, scientific-grade spectrometer ...

Quest™ U—a linear CCD array spectrometer from B&W Tek—has been improved for UV performance through a low stray light optical bench. The spectrometer features an integrated 16-bit digitizer, a 2048 ...

At the heart of today’s digital imaging devices are charge-coupled devices (CCD). A type of semiconductor that’s sensitive to light, a CCD consists of a 2-D array of individual elements, each ...

In CCD devices, an array of millions of light-sensitive picture elements, or pixels, spans the surface of the sensor. After exposure to light, the accumulated charge over the entire CCD pixel array is ...
