CCCP:一种用于光子计数的CCD控制器

CCCP: A CCD Controller for Counting Photons

Olivier Daigle, Jean-Luc Gach, Christian Guillaume, Simon Lessard, Claude Carignan, Sebastien Blais-Ouellette

摘要:

介绍了一种用于光子计数的CCD控制器CCCP。这种新的控制器采用了全新的时钟架构,并允许以一种新颖的方式驱动CCD。它的设计针对EMCCD的驱动进行了优化,像素速率高达20 MHz,垂直传输速度快。使用该控制器,在低通量水平和高帧速率下的EMCCD的主要噪声源,时钟感应电荷,被减少到0.001 - 0.0018电子/像素/帧(取决于电子倍增增益),使得有效的光子计数成为可能。CCCP将于2009年通过3D-NTT 1项目部署在ESO NTT上,并通过BTFI项目部署在SOAR上。

英文摘要:

CCCP, a CCD Controller for Counting Photons, is presented. This new controller uses a totally new clocking architecture and allows to drive the CCD in a novel way. Its design is optimized for the driving of EMCCDs at up to 20MHz of pixel rate and fast vertical transfer. Using this controller, the dominant source of noise of EMCCDs at low flux level and high frame rate, the Clock Induced Charges, were reduced to 0.001 - 0.0018 electron/pixel/frame (depending of the electron multiplying gain), making efficient photon counting possible. CCCP will be deployed in 2009 on the ESO NTT through the 3D-NTT1 project and on the SOAR through the BTFI project.
