Article Preview

Abstract:

For the calibration of a great quantity of scientific grade CCD cameras in the high energy physics system, a scientific grade CCD camera calibration system with high precision and efficiency is designed. The designed camera calibration system consists of a 1053nm nanosecond solid-state laser, a knife, a double-integrating sphere, a laser power meter, a signal generator, a computer with its data processing software. Key technical parameters of scientific grade CCD under the condition of 1053nm optical pulses that are the modulation, contrast, defects, optical dynamic range, non-linear response can be calibrated by the designed calibration system. A double-integrating sphere with high uniformity and stability is designed as a uniform light source, which improves the calibrating performance and accuracy. Experimental results show the system designed in this paper can calibrate the large number of scientific grade CCD cameras quickly and efficiently.
