4. Teledyne’s High Performance Visible and Infrared Focal Plane Arrays for Precision Astronomy

James Beletic (Teledyne Digital Imaging)

3/12/24, 4:00 PM

Other Precision Astronomy Tools or Sensors

Oral presentation (20 minute)

Teledyne produces high performance visible focal plane arrays (FPAs) at e2v Space Imaging (United Kingdom) and DALSA (Canada). Infrared FPAs are produced at Teledyne Imaging Sensors in Camarillo, California.

This presentation will review the different types of visible and infrared FPAs and discuss the backside illuminated CMOS and CCD visible FPAs and hybrid CMOS IR FPAs offered by...

6. STA Skipper and CCD Development Status

Gregory Bredthauer (Semiconductor Technology Associates, Inc.)
