e2v Space-Qualified CMOS Image Sensor Capability and Roadmap
نویسنده
چکیده
e2v is a leading global provider of high performance image sensors for space applications with over 100 devices flown in missions ranging from Earth observation to planetary exploration and space science. End users include all of the world’s large space agencies and major satellite providers. With expertise in high sensitivity, low noise and large format sensors, e2v has provided the CCDs that enable flagship instruments such as the Wide Field Camera 3 on Hubble, the recently launched GAIA mission, and Mars Curiosity’s ChemCam and Chemin instruments to “see”. In addition to Space Exploration, e2v is at the heart of Earth observation missions such as SPOT II, IV and V and Pleiades.

متن کاملDevelopment of a Large-format Science-grade Cmos Active Pixel Sensor for Extreme Ultra Violet Spectroscopy and Imaging in Space Science
We describe our programme to develop a large-format science-grade 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-illumination techniques first developed for CCD sensors. So far we have designed and tested...
متن کاملNew Method for Analysis of image sensor to produce and evaluate the image
In this paper, a new method for evaluating CMOS image sensors based on computer modeling and analysis is introduced. Image sensors are composed of different parts, each of which has a specific effect on image quality. Circuits of image sensors can be evaluated and analyzed using circuit simulators or theoretically, but these methods cannot help to produce the final image. In order to produce th...
