Basic operating principle / Measurement technique examples
Basic operating principle
High
sensitivity
High-speed gated ICCD cameras are high-sensitivity CCD cameras that feature high-speed gate
operation (high shutter speed). The image intensifier (or I.I.) coupled to a CCD camera enables highspeed gating along with high-sensitivity imaging. ICCD cameras can capture instantaneous action of
high-speed phenomena as well as the faint light that occurs in instantaneous phenomena. They can
also offer time-resolved imaging of reproducible phenomena by programming the gate delay timing.

Photons are converted to electrons at the photocathode.
After the electrons are multiplied to several thousands,
the electrons are converted back to photons again.

Amplification of an image is accomplished using an MCP built
inside the image intensifier (I.I.). Each channel in the MCP is a
secondary electron multiplier, multiplying electrons with each
bounce off the channel wall.

Gate operation is performed by reversing the potential
between the photocathode and anode. A high-speed
squarewave voltage signal is applied. The width of this
squarewave determines the gate time (shutter speed).

Time-resolved imaging
using sampling method
When measuring repetitive phenomena, time-resolved imaging
can be performed by shifting the gate delay timing automatically
according to a user-programmed scheme.
Eliminating background
by high-speed gating
When the target phenomenon is buried in background light, the
gating timing can be synchronized to match the target
phenomenon to create clear images with high signal-to-noise
ratio.

option is available on C11370-11-2.

Light flux is split by a dichroic mirror and
a band-pass filter is placed in each
optical path to allow only light on the
required wavelengths to pass through.
Simultaneous imaging by 2 camera units
allows capturing images at the same
timing at different wavelengths. Also 2
image frames can be captured at
extremely small intervals by removing the
filters and delaying camera gate time on
one camera unit versus the other camera.
