The Noise Performance of Electron Multiplying Charge-Coupled Devices at soft X-ray energies
The use of EM-CCDs for high resolution soft Xray spectroscopy has been proposed in previous studies and the analysis that followed identified and verified experimentally a Modified Fano Factor for X-ray detection using an Fe X-ray source. However, further experiments with soft X-rays at 1000 eV were less successful, attributed to excessive split events. More recently, through the use of a deep ...
متن کاملOptimum Signal-to-noise Ratio Performance of Electron Multiplying Charge Coupled Devices
Electron multiplying charge coupled devices (EMCCDs) have revolutionized the world of low light imaging by introducing on-chip multiplication gain based on the impact ionization effect in the silicon. They combine the sub-electron readout noise with high frame rates. Signal-to-noise Ratio (SNR) is an important performance parameter for low-light-level imaging systems. This work investigates the...
متن کاملNew advancements in charge-coupled device technology - sub-electron noise and 4096x4096 pixel CCDs
This paper reports on two new advancements in CCD technology. The first area of development has produced a special purpose CCD designed for ultra low-signal level imaging and spectroscopy applications that require subelectron read noise floors. A nondestructive output circuit operating near its 1/f noise regime is clocked in a special manner to read a single pixel multiple times. Off-chip elect...
متن کاملNovel method for identifying the cause of inherent ageing in Electron Multiplying Charge Coupled Devices
The charge multiplication process used in the Electron Multiplying CCD (EMCCD) is subject to an ageing effect in which the gain achieved at particular avalanche potentials, gradually decreases during operation. To utilise these devices for both space and terrestrial applications where recalibration of the gain is not feasible, a comprehensive understanding of the ageing process is required. A c...
متن کاملAn Efficient Image Compressor for Charge Coupled Devices Camera
Recently, the discrete wavelet transforms- (DWT-) based compressor, such as JPEG2000 and CCSDS-IDC, is widely seen as the state of the art compression scheme for charge coupled devices (CCD) camera. However, CCD images project on the DWT basis to produce a large number of large amplitude high-frequency coefficients because these images have a large number of complex texture and contour informat...
