The Spectrum-ONE line of CCD detectors is a family of array detectors from Jobin Yvon - the world leader in optical spectroscopy. Because of their unique combination of outstanding sensitivity, high speed, low noise, ruggedness and durability, all in compact and economical packages, these array detectors have totally revolutionised spectroscopic detection with the ultimate performance for a wide range of spectroscopic applications.

CCD for Spectroscopy

Jobin Yvon offers a complete line of superior Spectrum-ONE CCD detectors that are dedicated to scientific and spectroscopic applications. All detectors in this family use high quality, full-frame, scientific-grade CCD sensors from various major chip manufacturers. Jobin Yvon works very closely with these manufacturers to specify and design these chips in order to make them ideally suited for spectroscopic and scientific applications.

In these applications, the most appropriate CCD detection system depends upon the specific application itself. In general the optimum choice of a CCD detector will depend upon:

The wavelength range of interest

The anticipated signal or light levels

The required spectral coverage and resolution.

These parameters in turn will determine the Type of chip (best quantum efficiency, QE), the Type of detector cooling, the overall active sensor area and the individual pixel size. In addition to these operating parameters, other important experimental factors include the required dynamic range of the measurements and the desired speed of data acquisition.

Jobin Yvon currently offers a wide selection of cooling options for our CCD detectors:

Liquid nitrogen cooling

4-stage Thermoelectric cooling

2-stage Thermoelectric cooling

CCD3000 Controller Family

All Jobin Yvon CCD detectors are controlled by the CCD3000 controller family. These controllers allow a variable setting and regulation of the CCD temperature and timing signals to the detector head with trigger IN/OUT. Equipped with 16 bit, 166 kHz or 14 bit, 3 MHz converter (5 gains selectable by software), they have the capability to read individual or multiply binned pixels in any direction.

Spectral Framing or Fast Kinetics mode allows the acquisition of bursts of spectra at very high spectral rate.

With these full CCD packages Jobin Yvon offers the best detectors designed for milliseconds to hours of integration time for spectroscopic measurements.
