Noise Analysis of EMCCD and Optimum Design of its Operating Mode

Article Preview

Abstract:

As the core device of Low-light-level imaging technology, EMCCD noise performance determines imaging results of camera system at the most extend. In this paper, noise models to EMCCD and relevant parameters of the noise sources are discussed, and the noise effect to the parameters is simulated. Based on the results of noise analysis, optimum operating areas for inverted mode and non-inverted mode are carried out, which are the theoretical foundation and references to low-light-level camera system design.
