Symphony CCD Detectors
The Symphony line of CCD detectors is a family of array detectors from HORIBA Jobin Yvon - the world leader in optical spectroscopy. Because of their unique combination of outstanding sensitivity, high speed, low noise, ruggedness and durability, all in compact and economical packages, these array detectors have totally revolutionized spectroscopic detection with the ultimate performance for a wide range of spectroscopic applications.
CCD for Spectroscopy
HORIBA Jobin Yvon offers a complete line of superior Symphony CCD detectors that are dedicated to scientific and spectroscopic applications. All detectors in this family use high quality, full-frame, scientific-grade CCD sensors from various major chip manufacturers. HORIBA Jobin Yvon works very closely with these manufacturers to specify and design these chips in order to make them ideally suited for spectroscopic and scientific applications.
In these applications, the most appropriate CCD detection system depends upon the specific application itself. In general the optimum choice of a CCD detector will depend upon:
- The wavelength range of interest.
- The anticipated signal or light levels.
- The required spectral coverage and resolution.
These parameters in turn will determine the Type of chip (best quantum efficiency, QE), the Type of detector cooling, the overall active sensor area and the individual pixel size. In addition to these operating parameters, other important experimental factors include the required dynamic range of the measurements and the desired speed of data acquisition.
HORIBA Jobin Yvon currently offers a wide selection of cooling options for our CCD detectors:
- Liquid Nitrogen Cooling Symphony Detectors.
- 4-stage Thermoelectric Cooling Synapse Detectors.
Symphony Controller Family
All HORIBA Jobin Yvon CCD detectors are controlled by the Symphony controller family. Features include a 16 Bit ADC with 20 kHz to 1 MHz readout rates (including ADC upgrade capability), onboard memory data storage, and software-selectable gain. Use of a Fast Ethernet Network Interface provides 100% data integrity, ensuring against transmission errors.
With these full CCD packages HORIBA Jobin Yvon offers the best detectors designed for milliseconds to hours of integration time for spectroscopic measurements.
