CCD image sensors
S14650/S14660 series
Photosensitive area structure suitable for spectrometers,
high-speed type and low-noise type available
The S14650/S14660 series are back-thinned CCD image sensors designed for spectrometers. Low-noise type (S14650 series)
and high-speed type (S14660 series) are available.
The S14650/S14660 series offer nearly flat spectral response characteris-
tics with high quantum efficiency from the UV to near infrared region.
Features
Low etaloning
High sensitivity over a wide spectral range and
nearly flat spectral response characteristics
High conversion efficiency: 6.5 µV/e- (S14650 series)
8 µV/e- (S14660 series)
High full well capacity and wide dynamic range
(horizontal shift register with anti-blooming function)
Pixel size: 14 × 14 µm
Applications
Spectrometers and the like
