ultracam detectors






  • grade 0 devices
  • 1024x1024 image pixels
  • frame transfer (1024x1024 masked pixels)
  • 13 µm (0.3") pixels
  • back-thinned
  • advanced inverted mode operation (AIMO)
  • 3 e- readout noise (at 10 µs/pixel/channel)
  • 5 e- readout noise (at 3 µs/pixel/channel)
  • <0.1 e-/pixel/s dark current (at 233 K; achieved using a 3-stage thermo-electric ("Peltier") device and water cooling)
