IR-Enhanced CCD Image Sensors
WELWYN GARDEN CITY, England, Nov. 16, 2010 — Hamamatsu Photonics UK Ltd. has introduced the S11510 series full frame transfer CCD (FFT-CCD) image sensors with ultrahigh sensitivity in the near-IR region. Using proprietary technology in laser processing, it is possible to form a microelectromechanical systems structure on the back side of the CCD, which results in a much higher sensitivity at wavelengths longer than 800 nm.
The sensors feature quantum efficiency of 40% at 1000 nm, without the need for a deep depletion structure, with...
