    The performance and operational advantages of using electronic image readouts in image intensifiers, such as their simplicity, flexible format, low noise, and capability for high spatial and temporal resolution, are offset by the practical issues of housing them within the detector vacuum enclosure. They commonly require oversized, non-standard vacuum enclosures, multiple low noise...

  3. 63. Development of a thinned back-illuminated CMOS Active Pixel Sensor for Extreme Ultra Violet Spectroscopy and Imaging in Space Science

    Applications in Space Science
    Contributed Talk
    We describe our programme to develop a large-format, science-grade, monolithic CMOS active pixel sensor for future space science missions, and in particular an extreme ultra-violet spectrograph for solar physics studies on ESA’s Solar Orbiter. Our route to EUV sensitivity relies on adapting the back-thinning and rear- llumination techniques first developed for CCD sensors. Our first...

    Applications in Space Science
    Contributed Talk
    Results are described from a high-stability multi-CCD focal plane assembly developed by MSSL for ESA, using new large-format CCDs from e2v technologies. Particular subjects of investigation are stability at the 10e-4 to 10e-5 level and crosstalk between CCDs as well as between nodes of each two-port CCD. Space-based planetary-transit hunting and asteroseismology missions such as...

  5. 23. The novel multi-collimator using BP-1 glass and an application for X-ray CCDs
    Dr Junko Hiraga (JAXA/ISIS, Kanagawa, Japan)

    Novel Photon Detection Systems
    Contributed Talk
    Charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are widely used in soft X-ray Astronomy as a focal plane detector which has a capability both of good spatial resolution and good energy resolution up to 10 keV, simultaneously. For the future X-ray space mission, the thick CCDs are developed to improve the quantum e±ciency of high energy X-rays beyond 10 keV. A mesh experiment has been, so far, the...
