Princeton Instruments’ new, low-noise BLAZE™ CCD cameras are the most advanced high-sensitivity, ultra-fast, deep-cooled spectroscopic detectors available.
Key Camera Features:
► Two proprietary new sensors: HR-Sensors and LD-Sensors
► HR-Sensors: unmatched NIR quantum efficiency (up to 75% @ 1000 nm)
► LD-Sensors: inverted-mode, deep-depletion sensors with low dark current for excellent broadband performance and improved NIR response
► With our patented eXcelon process, both HR and LD sensors offers unrivaled QE from visible to NIR region.
► Exclusive new SeNsR technology allows rapid control and charge shifting on the sensor to enhance pump-probe experiments and increase signalto-noise performance of the system.
► High speed: spectral rates greater than 1 kHz full vertical binning
► ADC readout speeds 10-15x higher than conventional spectroscopy CCD cameras
► Exclusive ArcTec technology cools the sensor to -95°C in air (without chillers or cryocoolers). Cools to TRUE -100°C (with 20°C liquid assist). Absolutely no condensation.
► Cooling design features all-metal seals backed by a permanent vacuum guarantee.
► A high-speed USB 3.0 data interface with an optional fiberoptic connection supports remote operation.
► BLAZE is compatible with Princeton Instruments IsoPlane®, SpectraPro®, and SpectraPro HRS spectrographs.
► BLAZE is fully supported by 64-bit Princeton Instruments LightField® software.
Advanced new SeNsR technology
Thanks to its unique bi-directional clocking ability, BLAZE offers a new SeNsR operating mode for low-light applications. With SeNsR, it is now possible to rapidly shift the charge (i.e., signal) on the CCD without reading out the data.
Exclusive New Sensor Technologies
Two revolutionary new sensors were developed for BLAZE, making it the ideal spectroscopy camera. HR-Sensors are super-deep-depletion devices that offer the highest NIR quantum efficiency of any spectroscopic CCD. LD-Sensors are deep-depletion devices designed for extremely low dark current, allowing long exposures in demanding spectroscopic applications.
Proprietary new HR-Sensors
This new generation of sensors provides the highest NIR performance of any spectroscopic CCDs available. HR-Sensors feature a thick depletion region of high-resistivity bulk silicon to deliver up to 75% quantum efficiency at 1000 nm, making them especially desirable for light detection in the wavelength region between traditional CCDs’ and InGaAs detectors’ sensitivity ranges (i.e., typically 800 to 1100 nm). Spatial resolution is optimized by applying a bias voltage, resulting in a “fully depleted” silicon region with no diffusion of charge. The bias voltage generates an electric field that pushes the charge toward the correct pixels and does not allow charge to migrate to adjacent pixels
Proprietary new LD-Sensors
Back-illuminated deep depletion CCDs were developed for enhanced quantum efficiency at NIR wavelengths. eXcelon technology boosts performance even further, delivering high average QE from UV to NIR wavelengths with negligible etaloning. LD-Sensors are a new generation of advanced deepdepletion devices that run in inverted mode, resulting in very low dark current with excellent broadband performance and improved NIR quantum efficiency
eXcelon
eXcelon is a sensor process which radically improves the sensitivity of back-illuminated CCD detectors across a wide spectral range. Excelon also significantly reduces etaloning – the problematic appearance of fringes caused by constructive and destructive inference in backilluminated sensors – while imaging in the 750 – 1100 nm range (NIR).
