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 ...

The smaller the CCD array, the more daunting the task. Many methods exist for locating and centering an object on a CCD array, and each has its strengths, weaknesses, and associated price tag.

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 ...

CCD technology was the driving force behind early digital photography, and its popularity persisted until the late 2000s.

Although other groups are developing ladar systems with CCD arrays, Lincoln’s devices differ in their use of avalanche photo diodes. A standard solid-state photographic device, the diodes are applied ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

More than half of the CCD array - nine columns of seven detectors – will be used to measure star positions, but also on board are a blue and red photometer. Some of the CCDs have been optimized for ...

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, ...

'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 ...

B&W Tek’s Glacier ® T series is a high-resolution, double-pass transmission-based thermoelectrically-cooled (TEC) linear CCD array spectrometer that has been developed especially for Raman ...
