Ultraviolet downconverting phosphor for use with silicon CCD imagers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The properties and application of a UV downconverting phosphor (coronene) to silicon charge coupled devices are discussed. Measurements of the absorption spectrum have been extended to below 1000 A, and preliminary results indicate the existence of useful response to at least 584 A. The average conversion efficiency of coronene was measured to be ~20% at 2537 A. Imagery at 3650 A using a backside illuminated 800 x 800 CCD coated with coronene is presented.

A new gamma camera based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) pixel arrays to be used in nuclear medicine is introduced. Various performance characteristics of a-Si:H imagers are reviewed and compared with those of currently used equipment. An important component in the a-Si:H imager is the scintillator screen. A new approach for fabrication of high resolution CsI(Tl) scintillator layers,...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Use of Charge Coupled Devices as High Resolution Position Sensitive Detectors of Ionizing Radiation
The use of charge-coupled devices (CCD's) as analog shift registers, optical imagers, and high density memories has been successfully demonstrated during the past ten years. CCD's are capable of very low noise operation (a S/N ratio of 1:l with 10 electrons per pixel has been demonstrated ) and, as imagers, afford high resolution and precise image geometry and stability. The signal charge can b...

The transition from incandescent lighting to more energyefficient options is projected as a major opportunity for solid-state lighting (SSL.) The current prevailing technology for white-light SSL uses a nitride semiconductor blue LED combined with a downconverting YAG:Ce yellow phosphor. The residential use of LED lights presents challenges beyond efficiency, because of very-high color-renderin...
متن کاملFundamental approach for optoelectronic and microfluidic integration for miniaturizing spectroscopic devices
We have described an approach for miniaturizing spectroscopic devices by using the advantages presented by elastomeric based microfluidics and semiconductor detectors/emitters. Elastomers allow for both absorption and fluorescent spectroscopy in the visible range to be conducted on small volumes of solution and allow for easy integration with existing detectors such as CMOS imagers, CCD imagers...
متن کاملImproved Western blot detection using CCD digital imaging: Comparison of cooled-CCD digital imaging versus X-ray film
Chemiluminescent Western blotting is a popular protein detection method for studying proteins. The typical protocol for measuring chemiluminescent signal exposes the Western blot to laboratory-grade X-ray film, but digital imaging using a cooled-CCD camera is proving to be a more functional choice for researchers. The Thermo Scientific MYECL Imager offers digital imaging with a number of improv...
