Abstract

Charge-coupled devices (CCDs) have become the detector of choice for sensitive, highly precise measurement of light over the electromagnetic spectrum from the near-infrared (IR) (<1.1 μm) to the x-ray band (up to 10 keV). Key advantages of CCDs over their predecessors (photographic emulsions and vacuum tube, electron beam readout devices such as vidicons and Silicon-intensifier target (SIT) tubes) are high quantum efficiency (QE), high linearity, large dynamic range, relatively uniform cosmetic response, low noise, and intrinsically digital image capture.
