IMAGE SENSOR
NMOS linear image sensor
S5930/S5931 series
Built-in thermoelectric cooler ensures long exposure time and stable operation.
NMOS linear image sensors are self-scanning photodiode arrays designed specifically as detectors for multichannel spectroscopy. The scanning
circuit is made up of N-channel MOS transistors, operates at low power consumption and is easy to handle. Each photodiode has a large active
area, high UV sensitivity yet very low noise. The built-in thermoelectric cooler (air cooled) allows a long exposure time achieving a high S/N even
at low light levels. The cap uses a sapphire glass window hermetically welded for high reliability.

In addition to S5930/S5931 series, Hamamatsu provides S8382/S8383 series thermoelectrically cooled NMOS linear image
sensors that offer higher sensitivity in the near IR range. Major characteristics of S8382/S8383 series are almost identical with
S5930/S5931 series except that the peak sensitivity wavelength is 750 nm (see Figure 5) and the saturation charge is 90 m lx s.
