Advance Information
2856 (H) x 2856 (V) Interline
Transfer EMCCD Image Sensor
The KAE−08151 Image Sensor is a 8.1 Mp, 4/3″ format, Interline
Transfer EMCCD image sensor that provides exceptional imaging
performance in extreme low light applications. Each of the sensor’s
four outputs incorporates both a conventional horizontal CCD register
and a high gain EMCCD register.
An intra-scene switchable gain feature samples each charge packet
on a pixel-by-pixel basis. This enables the camera system to determine
whether the charge will be routed through the normal gain output or
the EMCCD output based on a user selectable threshold. This feature
enables imaging in extreme low light, even when bright objects are
within a dark scene, allowing a single camera to capture quality
images from sunlight to starlight.
This image sensor is based on an advanced 5.5-micron Interline
Transfer CCD Platform, and features extended dynamic range,
excellent imaging performance, and a flexible readout architecture
that enables use of 1, 2, or 4 outputs. A vertical overflow drain
structure suppresses image blooming, provides excellent MTF, and
enables electronic shuttering for precise exposure.
