EMCCD detectors for spectroscopy
Newton series from Oxford Instruments AndorFor ultra-sensitive spectroscopy applications, Oxford Instruments Andor offers the EMCCD cameras Newton 970 (1600 x 200 x 16 µm pixels) and the Newton 971 (1600 x 400 x 16 µm pixels) with USB 2 interface. The EMCCD sensor of the Newton detectors is placed in a sealed vacuum chamber so that temperatures down to -100 °C are achieved with thermo-electrical cooling.
- Effective read noise < 1 electron with electron multiplying gain for single photon sensitivity
- Two EMCCD sensor formats (1600 x 200 x 16 µm and 1600 x 400 x 16 µm) for high resolution spectroscopy
- Rapid spectrum rates up to 396 spectra/s (Newton 971) and 649 spectra/s (Newton 970) for full vertical binning and > 1.500 spectra/s for cropped sensor mode
- Front and back-illuminated sensors with > 90% quantum efficiency optimized for UV, VIS, and NIR (with Fringe suppression technology for Newton 970 back-illuminated sensor)
- Thermo-electrical cooling of EMCCD sensor to -100 °C for negligible dark current
Further information
The Newton EMCCD detectors are the market leaders for ultra-sensitive and ultra-fast spectroscopy. EM technology enables charge from each pixel to be multiplied on the sensor before readout resulting in single photon sensitivity. To provide unrivalled performance for demanding spectroscopic applications, the Newton EM platform combines a 1600 x 200 or 1600 x 400 array of high resolution 16 ?m pixels, low noise electronics, high quantum efficiency sensors, thermoelectric cooling down to -100°C for negligible dark current, 3 MHz readout and USB 2.0 plug-and-play connectivity. The dual output amplifiers allow software selection between either a conventional high sensitivity or electron multiplying outputs to suit a broad range of photon regime conditions. This makes the Newton EMCCD the ideal choice for ultra-fast and low light spectroscopy.
