Since 1989
we focus on image intensified high speed camera technology. Its
outstanding
combination of performance features makes the ICCD high speed camera
type the most
versatile workhorse amongst low light cameras. In addition, due to
their picosecond gating capability our
ICCD cameras are indispensable for high speed imaging applications in
the area of
ultrafast phenomena.
As shown in the
picture above, an image intensified high speed camera
basically consists of a high performance CCD
camera and an image
intensifier that is mounted in front of it. The incoming light is
first
amplified by the image intensifier. The intensified
image is then transmitted from the intensifiers phosphor screen and
projected onto the CCD sensor by means of a coupling lens.

Thus,
an
ICCD camera directly amplifies the incoming light, thereby supplying
the CCD sensor with a light intensity far above the sensors thermal
noise
level. Compared to electron
multiplying CCD
cameras - EMCCD - image intensified cameras do not need strong cooling
of the CCD sensor for this reason, thus avoiding condensation
problems.
With
our miniaturized
"All-in-one-head" design the cameras only measure 110 x 135 x 248mm and
weigh 3kg. This makes our ICCD camera type the smallest and most light
weighted ultra high speed camera available on the
market.
