IMAGE SENSOR EVALUATION KITS

Introduction Hamamatsu has developed two convenient means of image sensor evaluation. Choose the package best suited for your application. The first method uses a cooled camera head, data acquisition card, interface cable and LabVIEW® software drivers. It’s called the HC230 series. These evaluation kits are available in either a back illuminated CCD, front illuminated CCD or InGaAsarray camera heads. All of the camera heads are cooled for low light level applications. The LabVIEW® software library allows for computer controlled data collection. The second uses a cooled camera head, stand alone controller unit, SCSI interface, and DLL software library. The MultiChannel Detector (MCD) controller unit includes an A/D converter, low voltage power supplies and a SCSI interface.

Back-Thinned CCD (BT-CCD) HC230, HC231 Series The HC230/31 series are CCD based camera systems. These evaluation kits are available with thinned, back illuminated CCD detector heads, 16 bit Analog to Digital converters, interface cable assembly and LabVIEW® drivers (software). The HC230 series uses our standard low noise BT-CCD and the HC231 series features extended dynamic range. The software allows for computer controlled data collection. The user specifics the readout speed (pixel rate) and integration time in either line binning mode (1D) or area scanning mode (2D). In addition, the HC230/31 series reads the CCD temperature and includes a single stage TE cooler. The cooler is preset for -10˚C.

HC230 (Low Readout Noise)

The advantage of our BT-CCD is high quantum efficiency (QE) over the entire spectral range (UVNIR). We offer BT-CCD’s with a QE of 90% in the visible, and 50% at UV, as shown in figure 4. The FFT-CCD was originally designed as a two-dimensional image sensor. However, it can be operated like a linear image sensor having a large active area by transferring all the pixel signals in the vertical direction to the horizontal register (this is referred to as line binning).

LabVIEW® Evaluation Software The Main Screen After the program is launched, the front panel will appear as shown below.

The purpose of the Evaluation Software is to enable digitization of pixel data, control image sensor temperature and readout mode (1D or 2D), and save pixel data for spreadsheet analysis. We provide a stand alone executable file as well as the LabVIEW® library file. You do not need to have a licensed copy of LabVIEW® software in order to use our Evaluation software. Simply use the stand alone executable code. For machines with a licensed copy of LabVIEW® software, try our library file. In the library file, you can modify the code and make it customized for your application. The executable code can not be modified. In line binning operation (1D mode), all of the pixels in a column are summed into the horizontal register. Next the horizontal register is clocked out. For example, a 1044 x128 BT-CCD becomes a pseudolinear array (1044 x 1). Therefore, the Main screen displays channel (or pixel) number in the x-axis verses output voltage in the y-axis. In area scanning operation (2D mode), each pixel in the array is readout individually. The resulting image is reconstructed and displayed on the main screen. Imaging applications generally require a shutter to prevent image smear.

Click on the RUN arrow.

This will start the program and bring-up the Set-up screen.

While in the Set-up screen you can select operating parameters such as: • Device Number

Set-up screen allows you to select operating parameters:

3

• Device number should correspond with the image sensor part number. This tells the ADC the number of pixels to be readout.

• Master clock frequency

• Master clock frequency determines the image sensors pixel rate. It is four (4) times the actual pixel rate.

• Start Period

• In general, the Start period determines the sensors integration time.

• Input Limits

• Programs the ADC’s gain.

• Mode Select (toggle switch)

• Selects between line binning operation (1D) and area scanning (2D).

• Cooler Control (toggle switch)

• Turns the cooler ON and OFF, controls the CCD chip temperature.

Once your setting are complete, click on the DONE button.

Records your settings and returns you to the Main Screen.

• Tells the computer how many scans to save and how often.

• Select, Stream to Disk and click Collect New Scan.

• Generates a pop up window with a default file name of HAMA.txt. To change the file name simply rename it and then click SAVE. Creates a text file. Now the computer will write a series of scans to the hard drive. Each column in the file represents a entire scan. During this time you will see a counter box in the Main Screen. This corresponds to the number of scans written to disk.

After the data is collected the background subtraction switch is illuminated and the toggle switch is activate. Place the switch in the ON position and the background is nulled to zero. Note: Background data is cleared once detector set-up is accessed.

Multi-Channel Controller The C7557 controller is specifically designed for Hamamatsu multichannel detector heads using a CCD area image sensor or InGaAs linear image sensor. The C7557 allows simple interface to a PC computer (Windows 95/98® or Windows NT 4.0®) facilitating detector control and data acquisition. It includes a 12 or 16 bit Analog to Digital Converter (ADC), necessary low voltage power supplies for camera biasing and a SCSI interface port. The C7557 is supplied with software that enables easy control of the multichannel detector head and data acquisition. This software is available with various types of DLL*1, allowing you to create your own customized program for data acquisition and analysis.

Multi-Channel Controller Evaluation Software In addition to the dynamic library link files, the C7557 controller comes with easy to operate evaluation software. When the program is launched the main screen will appear as shown below. Each menu on the left hand side allows you to select operating parameters such as integration time, gain, cooling control, dark correction, data collection mode and pixel format. The image sensor data is displayed on the right. There are eight (8) display formats to choose from. For more advanced (application specific) software development, try our DLL library. Here you will find low level comands used to simplify software development.

1

Enter the start interval, amp gain cooling option and sensor readout mode using

Initalizes camera head operating parameters such as integration time, controller gain cooler ON or OFF and readout mode. The readout mode automatically defines the A/D resolution. Line scan mode is 12bits, all others are 16 bits.

2

Select the data aqusition style (continuous or single) and scan averaging using Measurement Control.

Determines the data acqusion method. A check mark in the Average box instructs the controller to average the pixel data.

3

Select the type of data to be acquired using the Acquire mode. Place a check mark in the Dark Calibration box.

Acquires a Sample, Reference or Dark data set. When the Dark Calibration is ON the controller performs a dark subtraction.

To synchronized your optical signal with the image sensors pixel data three timing modes are available. We suggest Internal Trigger for steady state signals and External Trigger/Start for pulsed lights conditions.

Sychronize your pixel data with an exteranl event by using the External Trigger input mode combined with a time delay. You can also select the leading or trailing edge of the external TTL signal.

5

For 2D readout (area scanning) an external shutter is needed to prevent image smear. Place a check mark in the Shutter Control box, specify the delay and duration times, and select the logic level (active low or high).

Controls an exteranl shutter. The shutter open time equals the Duration time. For active high logic select Positive, active low select Negative.

Appendix B CCD Readout Time Calculations A general equation for line binning (1D) operation is given by:  (t b  Nv)  (t r  Nh) t scan 

Where: 16 ; Vertical transfer time for one vertical pixel. t b  Fclk

Nv  Number of vertical pixels. 4 ; Horizontal transfer time for one horizontal pixel. t r  Fclk

Nh  Number of horizontal pixels. For the HC230-1007 at 1MHz operation tscan is approximately 6mSec.
