Spectroscopic Back Thinned CCD Image Sensors with Improved Etaloning Effect Nov 16, 2009

Hamamatsu Photonics introduce the new high-speed S11071 series, with vastly reduced etaloning effect,the latest addition of brand new high performance, cost effective back thinned CCD image sensors.

Hamamatsu Photonics back thinned CCD technology has long been used in the development of high end analytical and medical instruments. The back thinned technology provides excellent sensitivity in the UV and blue end of the spectrum, combined with high quantum efficiencies in the visible (> 90 % QE) and near IR (to almost 1200 nm). Until now the cost of the back thinning process has limited the widespread use of this technology, but the S11071 has been developed and optimised specifically for lower cost, portable spectroscopic applications.

The S11071 comes in four formats, with either 1024 or 2048 pixels length and 16 or 64 pixel height, which gives added sensitivity compared to linear CCD sensors, which were not originally developed for analytical applications.
