A Charged Coupled Device (CCD) is an array of capacitors, referred to as pixels, designed to store electric charge, with astronomers adopting this technology as early as 1979. When a camera shutter is ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We present our mechanical design for a very-large-format, 4096x4096 pixel chargecoupled device (CCD) mosaic constructed from a 2X2 array of ...

'Revolutionary' is used too often to describe advances in science. When applied to the invention of the charge-coupled device (CCD) array by Willard Boyle and George Smith, however, it is not far off.

One night was all it took. I was hooked after my first encounter with CCD imaging. I can still recall the thrill of seeing the images pop onto the computer screen seconds after the camera’s shutter ...

B&W Tek, Inc. is proudly shipping the i-trometer series CCD array, low cost spectrometers. Using a high UV-NIR response wide dynamic range back-thinned CCD array with a low stray light optical bench, ...

Camera sources today are overwhelmingly based on either Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) or CMOS technology. Both of these technologies convert light into electrical signals, but they differ in how this ...

CCDs inspire ADCs to embrace signal processingBill Schweber, Technical EditorYou need more than just a good A/D converter to effectively interface with a CCD image sensor. Newer converter ...
