`Image intensified CCD high speed cameras
`
`System overview of a ICCD high speed camera
`
`Since 1989, Stanford Computer Optics focus on image intensified high speed camera technology. Its
`outstanding combination of performance features makes the ICCD high speed camera type the most
`versatile workhorse amongst low light cameras. In addition, due to their picosecond gating capability
`our ICCD cameras are indispensable for high speed imaging applications in the area of ultrafast
`phenomena.
`
`As shown in the picture above, an image intensified high speed camera basically consists of a high
`performance CCD camera and an image intensifier that is mounted in front of it. The incoming light is
`first amplified by the image intensifier. The intensified image is then transmitted from the intensifiers
`phosphor screen and projected onto the CCD sensor by means of a coupling lens.
`
`Thus, an ICCD camera directly amplifies the incoming light, thereby supplying the CCD sensor with a
`light intensity far above the sensors thermal noise level. Compared to electron multiplying CCD
`cameras - EMCCD - image intensified cameras do not need strong cooling of the CCD sensor for this
`reason, thus avoiding condensation problems.
`
`With our miniaturized "All-in-one-head" design the cameras only measure 110 x 135 x 248mm and
`weigh 3kg. This makes our ICCD camera type the smallest and most light weighted ultra high speed
`camera available on the market.
