Abstract

A charge-coupled device (CCD) camera head which can replace film for digital imaging of visible light, ultraviolet radiation, and soft to penetrating x-rays, such as within a target chamber where laser produced plasmas are studied. The camera head is small, capable of operating both in and out of a vacuum environment, and is versatile. The CCD camera head uses PC boards with an internal heat sink connected to the chassis for heat dissipation, which allows for close(0.04" for example) stacking of the PC boards. Integration of this CCD camera head into existing instrumentation provides a substantial enhancement of diagnostic capabilities for studying high energy density plasmas, for a variety of military industrial, and medical imaging applications.

Miniature, vacuum compatible 1024 {times} 1024 CCD camera for x-ray, ultra-violet, or optical imaging

Conference Conder, A D ; Dunn, J ; Young, B K.F.

We have developed a very compact (60 {times} 60 {times} 75 mm{sup 3}), vacuum compatible, large format (25 {times} 25 mm{sup 2}, 1024 {times} 1024 pixels) CCD camera for digital imaging of visible and ultraviolet radiation, soft to penetrating x-rays ({le}20 keV), and charged particles. This camera provides a suitable replacement for film with a linear response, dynamic range and intrinsic signal-to- noise response superior than current x-ray film, and provides real- time access to the data. The spatial resolution of the camera (< 25 {mu}m) is similar to typical digitization slit or step sizes used in processing film data.more »« less

Miniature CCD X-Ray Imaging Camera Technology Final Report CRADA No. TC-773-94

Technical Report Conder, A. ; Mummolo, F. J.

The goal of the project was to develop a compact, large active area, high spatial resolution, high dynamic range, charge-coupled device (CCD) camera to replace film for digital imaging of visible light, ultraviolet radiation, and soft to penetrating X-rays. The camera head and controller needed to be capable of operation within a vacuum environment and small enough to be fielded within the small vacuum target chambers at LLNL.
