Description
The KAE−01093 Image Sensor is a 1 megapixel 1024 × 1024 CCD
in a 1″ optical format that provides enhanced Quantum Efficiency
(particularly for NIR wavelengths) without a decrease in Modulation
Transfer Function (MTF). In quad mode, the KAE−01093 runs at
91 fps. Each of the sensor’s four outputs incorporate both
a conventional horizontal CCD register and a high gain EMCCD
register. An intra-scene switchable gain feature samples each charge
packet on a pixel-by-pixel basis. This enables the camera system to
determine whether the charge will be routed through the normal gain
output or the EMCCD output based on a user selectable threshold.
Cameras can thus image in extreme low light even when bright objects
are within a dark scene, allowing a single camera to capture quality
images from sunlight to starlight.

Warning
Please address all inquiries and purchase orders to:
The KAE−01093−ABB−SD and KAE−01093−FBB−SD,
and KAE−01093−QBB−SD packages have an integrated
thermoelectric cooler (TEC) and have epoxy sealed cover
glass. The seal formed is non-hermetic, and may allow
moisture ingress over time, depending on the storage
environment.
As a result, care must be taken to avoid cooling the device
below the dew point inside the package cavity, since this
may result in condensation on the sensor.
For all KAE−01093 configurations, no warranty,
expressed or implied, covers condensation.

Figure 2. Block Diagram
Dark Reference Pixels
Image Acquisition
There are 12 dark reference rows at the top and bottom of
the image sensor, as well as 12 dark reference columns on the
left and right sides. However, the rows and columns at the
perimeter edges should not be included in acquiring a dark
reference signal, since they may be subject to some light
leakage.
An electronic representation of an image is formed when
incident photons falling on the sensor plane create
electron-hole pairs within the individual silicon
photodiodes. These photoelectrons are collected locally by
the formation of potential wells at each photo-site. Below
photodiode saturation, the number of photoelectrons
collected at each pixel is linearly dependent upon light level
and exposure time and non-linearly dependent on
wavelength. When the photodiodes charge capacity is
reached, excess electrons are discharged into the substrate to
prevent blooming.
Active Buffer Pixels
8 unshielded pixels adjacent to any leading or trailing dark
reference regions are classified as active buffer pixels. These
pixels are light sensitive but are not tested for defects and
non-uniformities.
