Zusammenfassung: | We present the evolutions of the C-BLUE One family of cameras (formerly
introduced as C-MORE), a laser guide star oriented wavefront sensor camera
family. Within the Opticon WP2 european funded project, which has been set to
develop LGS cameras, fast path solutions based on existing sensors had to be
explored to provide working-proven cameras to ELT projects ready for the first
light schedule. Result of this study, C-BLUE One is a CMOS based camera with
1600x1100 pixels (9um pitch) and 481 FPS refresh rate. It has been developed to
answer most of the needs of future laser based adaptive optics systems (LGS) to
be deployed on 20-40m-class telescopes as well as on smaller ones. We present
the main features of the camera and measured performance in terms of noise,
dark current, quantum efficiency and image quality which are the key parameters
for the application. The camera has been declined also in fast smaller format
(800x600x1500FPS) and large format (3200X2200x250FPS) to cover most of the AO
applications. |
