2096 (H) x 2096 (V) Interline Transfer EMCCD Image Sensor
The KAE−04471 Image Sensor is a 4.4 Mp, 4/3″ format, Interline Transfer EMCCD image sensor that provides exceptional imaging performance in extreme low light applications. Each of the sensor’s four outputs incorporates both a conventional horizontal CCD register and a high gain EMCCD register.
An intra-scene switchable gain feature samples each charge packet on a pixel-by-pixel basis. This enables the camera system to determine whether the charge will be routed through the normal gain output or the EMCCD output based on a user selectable threshold. This feature enables imaging in extreme low light, even when bright objects are within a dark scene, allowing a single camera to capture quality images from sunlight to starlight.
