Designed for front-illuminated CCD area image sensors The are high sensitivity multichannel detector heads intended for use with front-illuminated CCD area image sensors (S0/S/S/S series). The C00 series is designed for non-cooled CCD, while the C0/C0 series for thermoelectric cooled CCD. All of the contain a low-noise driver circuit that operates on input of simple external signals. Mounting holes are provided on the front panel for attaching to other devices such as spectrometers. The C0/C0 series also include a highly stable temperature control circuit that cools the sensor to a preset temperature (Ts=-0 C) as soon as the power is turned on. If the cooler fails and causes overheating, the internal protection circuit automatically turns off the power to ensure safety. Despite the compact size, the housing configuration is designed for good heat dissipation. As an option, HAMAMATSU also provides the C-0 controller for multichannel detector heads. Using the dedicated software for the C-0 allows easy control and data acquisition of a multichannel detector head from a PC.

Compared to the IT-CCD, the FFT-CCD offers advantages of low dark current, a 00 % open area ratio and low image lag. *: The FFT-CCD area image sensor can be operated like a linear image sensor having a large active area by transferring all the pixel signals in the vertical direction to the horizontal register (this is referred to as line binning). www.hamamatsu.com
