Horiba / Jobin Yvon SII-1LS-256-OE Symphony II Cryogenic Open-Electrode CCD Detector Description

Functions

Detects and measures light intensity across 256-pixel spectral range using charge-coupled device technology with cryogenic cooling for enhanced sensitivity and reduced thermal noise. Operates at liquid nitrogen temperatures to minimize dark current and optimize signal-to-noise ratio for low-light spectroscopic applications. Features open-electrode architecture for direct photon detection without intervening optics. Interfaces with spectrometers via standard electrical connections for wavelength-resolved photon counting and spectral analysis in UV, visible, and near-infrared regions.

Platforms

Detection of photons in the UV-Vis-NIR spectral range, utilizing a back-illuminated deep-depletion CCD sensor cooled cryogenically. It integrates with optical spectrometers for low-light applications like Raman, photoluminescence, and fluorescence spectroscopy, requiring liquid nitrogen or closed-cycle cryostat for operation. Data acquisition and control are achieved through a dedicated interface card within a host computer running appropriate software.

Applications

High-sensitivity spectroscopic measurements including Raman, fluorescence, photoluminescence, and absorption spectroscopy, particularly in low-light environments or requiring long integration times. Ideal for detecting faint optical signals across UV-Vis-NIR ranges in scientific research, materials characterization, and quantum optics experiments. Utilized in demanding applications where ultra-low noise performance and wide dynamic range are critical for signal acquisition.

Accessories

Liquid nitrogen Dewar (1 or 3 liters depending on model) for cryogenic cooling, MCD-S2-2134-2612 controller unit, Ethernet interface for host PC connection, SynerJY acquisition and control software with LabVIEW VI and SDK support; connectors include Ethernet port (RJ-45) for data and control communication; liquid nitrogen cryogenic cooling interface requires vacuum-sealed Dewar mount; no other specific physical connector details publicly documented.

Interfaces

Liquid nitrogen cooling via integrated Dewar; Ethernet connection for data communication to host PC; USB 2.0 interface for acquisition and control; Controller model MCD-S2-2134-2612; CCD format 1024 x 256 pixels, front-illuminated open electrode sensor (26 µm pixel size); uses SynerJY™ software with LabVIEW VI and SDK for integration; typical scan rates selectable up to 500 kHz; optical coupling designed for high quantum efficiency over 200-900 nm wavelength range.

Specifications

Detects low-level photon signals across UV-Vis-NIR ranges using a cryogenically cooled 256-pixel open-electrode CCD array for enhanced quantum efficiency and minimized dark noise. Operates within ultra-high vacuum environments, integrating with spectrometer systems via a dedicated control unit. Interfaces via high-speed digital protocols for data acquisition and system control. Primarily used in demanding spectroscopic applications like Raman, photoluminescence, and fluorescence where superior signal-to-noise is critical for trace analysis and weak signal detection.
