THEORY OF OPERATION

The discovery of electron initiated avalanche photodiodes (e-APD) using mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) semiconductor materials permitted a significant breakthrough in SWIR imaging.

C-RED One is using a unique 320 x 256 pixels HgCdTe e-APD array with 24 μm pixel pitch. The sensor allows sub-electron readout noise, taking advantage of the e-APD noise free multiplication gain and non-destructive readout ability.

C-RED One is also capable of multiple regions of interest (ROI) readout allowing faster image rate (10’s of KHz) while maintaining unprecedented sub-electron readout noise.

The sensor is cooled down to cryogenic temperature (90 K) using an integrated pulse tube with a high reliability.

C-RED One is opening a new era in terms of sensitivity and speed in the SWIR scientific cameras domain.
