dark_current(temperature=None)[source]#

Calculate the rate of charge accumulation when the sensor is not illuminated.

This is the typical dark current given by the datasheet of the CCD230-42, version 5,

\[\frac{Q_d}{Q_{do}} = 1.14 \times 10^6 \, T^3 e^{-9080 / T},\]

where \(Q_d\) is the dark current at the temperature \(T\), in kelvin, and \(Q_{do}\) is the dark current at 293 K, scaled so that the dark current at 248 K is the typical 0.2 electron / pixel / s.

The datasheet only claims this model from 230 K to 300 K, and warns that below 230 K other sources of dark current, which depend less steeply on temperature, may dominate. The ESIS cameras run below that range, and their measured dark current there is far above this model.

Parameters:

temperature (None | Quantity | AbstractScalar) – The temperature of the sensor. If None, the value of temperature is used.

to_string(prefix=None)#

Public-facing version of the __repr__ method that allows for defining a prefix string, which can be used to calculate how much whitespace to add to the beginning of each line of the result.

Parameters:: prefix (None | str) – an optional string, the length of which is used to calculate how much whitespace to add to the result.
Return type:: str

cte: Quantity = <Quantity 99.9995 %>#: The charge transfer efficiency of the sensor.

family: str = 'CCD230-42'#: The model number or product family of this sensor.

grade: None | str = None#

The quality of the device.

Grade 0 is the best possible and Grade 5 is the worst possible.

manufacturer: str = 'Teledyne/e2v'#: The company which produced the sensor.

material: None | AbstractSiliconSensorMaterial = None#

The light-sensitive material used by this sensor.

If None, optika.sensors.materials.e2v_ccd97() will be used.

num_blank: int = 50#: The number of blank columns at the start of each row.

num_masked: int = 8#

The number of masked rows at the start of each tap.

These rows are read out before the image, but they hold charge from the part of the frame store closest to the image area rather than light from the image itself. They lie under the edge of the mask, so they have a dark current rate about 80 times that of the image area, and they receive a fraction of the light that leaks under the edge of the mask.

num_overscan: int = 2#: The number of overscan columns at the end of each row.

property num_pixel: Cartesian2dVectorArray#: The number of pixels along the horizontal and vertical axes.

property num_pixel_active#

The number of pixels that are used to detect light.

If readout_mode is "full-frame", then this is the same as num_pixel. If readout_mode is "transfer", then the vertical component of num_pixel is divided by 2 since half of the sensor is now used for charge storage.

num_pixel_x: int = 2048#: The number of pixels along the horizontal axis of the CCD sensor.

num_pixel_y: int = 2064#: The number of pixels along the vertical axis of the CCD sensor.

num_tap_x: ClassVar[int] = 2#: The number of taps along the long axis of the CCD sensor.

num_tap_y: ClassVar[int] = 2#: The number of taps along the short axis of the CCD sensor.

readout_mode: Literal['full-frame', 'transfer'] = 'transfer'#

The frame readout mode of the sensor.

Either the entire sensor is read at the same time ("full-frame"), or half of the sensor is used for storage ("transfer").

readout_noise: Quantity = <Quantity 4. electron>#: The standard deviation of the error on each pixel value.

serial_number: None | str = None#: A unique number which identifies this sensor.

property temperature#: The operating temperature of this sensor.

property width_active#: The physical size of the light sensitive area of the sensor.

property width_package: Cartesian2dVectorArray#: The vertical and horizontal width of the physical sensor package.

width_package_x: Quantity = <Quantity 42. mm>#: The horizontal size of the physical sensor package.

width_package_y: Quantity = <Quantity 61. mm>#: The vertical size of the physical sensor package.

width_pixel: Quantity = <Quantity 15. um>#: The physical size of a single pixel on the imaging sensor.
