1920 (H) x 1080 (V) Interline CCD Image Sensor

The KAE−02152 image sensor is a 1080p, 2/3” format Interline Transfer EMCCD that provides increased Quantum Efficiency (particularly for NIR wavelengths) without a decrease in Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) when compared to the KAE−02150.
Each of the sensor’s four outputs includes 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, enabling 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. The device is available in two package configurations: PGA, and PGA with integrated thermoelectric cooler (TEC).
