At the time it was invented in 1969, the CCD was a pioneering technology that converted light into electrical signals using ...

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.

The heart of Lincoln Laboratory’s ladar systems is a charge coupled device (CCD) technology similar to the one found in digital cameras. In a camera, when a flash goes off, light reflected from the ...

The CCD arrays also feature greatly improved visible-light sensitivity, which critical in many situations. At the extremely high end, the KAF-16801CE CCD features 16.6 million pixels in a ...

In modern spectrometers, linear detector and CCD arrays have enabled the development of “fixed grating” spectrometers. When the pixels across the CCD are hit by the incident light, each pixel ...

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, ...

The microlenses themselves may be circular, square, or hexagonal, and the array may be square, hexagonal, or some other geometric shape. Microlens arrays are used in optical microscopes and light ...

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 ...

The electrical charges in a CCD array are created when photons strike the silicon and dislodge electrons, with the strength of the charge being proportional to the intensity of the incident photons.

The Quest™ U includes a 2048 x 1 linear CCD array detector with a pixel width of 14 µm and more than 2000 active pixels. When the incident light hits the individual pixels over the CCD, every pixel ...
