IMAGE SENSOR
CCD multichannel detector head
C10150, _C10151
Designed for back-thinned CCD area image sensor
C10150 and C10151 are high sensitivity multichannel detector heads for use with back-thinned FFT-CCD area image sensors (S10140/S10141
series) that offer high UV sensitivity and quantum efficiency. C10150 is designed for the non-cooled back-thinned CCD image sensor (S10140
series), while C10151 for the one-stage TE-cooled CCD area image sensors (S10141 series) for detection at even lower light levels. Both C10150
and C10151 incorporate a low-noise driver/amplifier circuit that provides reliable operation from simple external signals. C10151 also includes a
highly stable temperature controller that cools the sensor to a preset temperature level (Ts= -10 ˚C) as soon as the power is turned on. If the
cooler fails and causes internal circuitry to overheat, the built-in protection circuit automatically turns off the power to the thermoelectric cooler.
Despite its compact size, the housing configuration is designed for good heat dissipation, and threaded mounting holes on the front panel allow
connections to other devices such as monochrometers. The table below shows back-thinned CCD image sensors for C10150 and C10151.
C10150 and C10151 do not come with a CCD image sensor, so select the desired sensor and order it separately.
Controller for multichannel detector head C7557-01 is also available. The software supplied with the C7557-01 allows easy control of the
multichannel detector head and data acquisition.

*1: In normal CCD image sensors that receive light from the front surface, the active area is covered with electrodes for charge transfer.
These electrodes cut off UV radiation incident on the image sensor and also reduce the quantum efficiency. In contrast, back-
thinned CCD image sensors have a unique structure in which the back of the active area is finely ground to allow light to enter from
the back surface. This structure ensures high UV sensitivity and quantum efficiency because incident light need not pass through the
electrodes.
*2: The FFT-CCD was originally designed as a two-dimensional image sensor. However, it can be operated like a linear image sensor
having a large active area by transferring all the pixel signals in the vertical direction to the horizontal register (this is referred to as
line binning).
