The CCD351-00 is a frame transfer, electron multiplying CCD sensor designed for extreme performance in high frame rate ultra-low light applications. The Teledyne e2v back-thinning process ensures high quantum efficiency over a wide range of wavelengths.
The device functions by converting photons to charge in the image area during the integration time period, then transferring this charge through the image and store sections into the readout register. Following transfer through the readout register, the charge is multiplied in the gain register prior to conversion to a voltage by a low noise output amplifier.
The multiplication gain in the readout chain allows L3VisionTM devices to effectively eliminate readout noise. The gain may be varied from 1× to over 1000× by adjustment of the multiplication phase amplitude RØ2HV.
