Read-Noise Characterization of Focal Plane Array Detectors via Mean-Variance Analysis
Journal Article
·
· Applied Spectroscopy
Mean-variance analysis is described as a method for characterization of the read-noise and gain of Focal Plane Array (FPA) detectors, including CCDs, CIDs, and CMOS multiplexers (IR arrays). Practical FPA detector characterization is outlined. The non-destructive readout capability available in some FPA devices is discussed as a means for signal-to-noise ratio improvement. Derivations of the equations are fully presented to unify understanding of this method by the spectroscopic community.
