In an era where digital photography is dominated by CMOS sensors, I find myself holding onto something different: every ...

In 1969, they patented the charge-coupled device, or CCD. Initially intended to be a memory chip, they realized that it didn't store information as intended. What it did do was convert light into ...

In the case of the vidicon, this was the invention of first the charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor, and later the CMOS image sensor. These eliminated the need for the cathode ray tube, using ...

Charge-coupled-device cameras are a vital component of many applications involving digital imaging. Neil Savage presents a summary of some of the latest products. Cameras based on charge-coupled ...

Transport phenomena in semiconductors, theory of the p-n junction, bipolar and unipolar devices, general analysis of the metal-semiconductor and MIS structures, CCD, MOSFET and bipolar transistors.

AbstractCharge-coupled devices (CCDs) have been the most common visible and nearultraviolet imaging sensors in astronomy since the 1980s. Almost all major astronomical instrumentation utilizes CCD ...

Electron Multiplying Charge Coupled Devices (EMCCD) are a quantitative digital camera technology that can detect single photon events while maintaining high quantum efficiency. Built into the sensor ...
