CCD Coupling
Both faceplates and tapers are used as couplers for CCD chips. In the case of faceplates , the fiber optic is used as a cover window for the CCD surface and performs the following functions:
Both faceplates and tapers are used as couplers for CCD chips. In the case of faceplates , the fiber optic is used as a cover window for the CCD surface and performs the following functions:
protects the CCD surface from physical damage;
provides an x-ray absorption layer to protect the CCD from x-ray damage;
allows for direct 1:1 coupling with other optical devices;
provides a surface for direct coating (such as a phosphor screen); and
provides for more efficient coupling than with a lens.
In addition, fiber optic tapers
offer these additional benefits:
- Provide a larger active area, which is reduced in size to match the CCD dimensions
- Allow for combination of many tapers/CCD's to form a large viewing area.
As opposed to the alternatives of direct coupling and lens coupling to the CCD, fiber optics offer some attractive alternatives.
