摘要
A new CCD sensor technology has been developed by Marconi Applied Technologies (Chelmsford, UK) which effectively reduces read-out noise to less than one electron rms(1,2,3). A single Low Light Level CCD (LLLCCD) can operate over a wide range of read-out rates from TV to slow-scan and give superior performance to that available from either intensified or slow-scan CCD sensors.
