Photon-noise-limited operation of intensified CCD cameras

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Intensified CCD cameras are increasingly being used in quantitative applications, which requires not only a greater understanding of their operation but also more detailed modeling to predict their performance more accurately. We have developed a model based on photon-noise-limited operation that incorporates the effects of the point spread function of the intensifier on signal-to-noise ratio. These effects are absent in other models, which renders them inadequate to model the camera performance properly. Calculations of noise-equivalent irradiance with our model are shown to be in good agreement with experimental results presented for two Xybion intensified cameras, Models GEN-III IMC and NIR DCIC intensified cameras.
