C7041-04 Hamamatsu CCD Multichannel Detector Head

The Hamamatsu C7040 / C7041 Series are high sensitivity multichannel detector heads for use with back-thinned CCD area image sensors (S7030/S7031 series, S11500-1007) that offer high UV sensitivity and quantum effciency. The C7040 Series is designed for the non-cooled type (S7030 series, S11500-1007), while the C7041 for the one-stage TE-cooled type (S7031 series) for detection at even lower light levels. Both the C7040 and C7041 Series incorporate a low-noise driver/amplifier circuit that provides reliable operation from simple external signals. The C7041 Series also includes a highly stable temperature controller that cools the sensor to a preset temperature level (Ts=-10°C) as soon as the power is turned on. If the cooler fails and causes internal circuitry to overheat, the built-in protection circuit automatically turns off the power to the thermoelectric cooler. Despite its compact size, the housing configuration is designed for good heat dissipation, and threaded mounting holes on the front panel allow connections to other devices such as monochrometers. The table (P.2) shows back-thinned CCD image sensors for the C7040 and C7041 Series. The C7040 and C7041 Series do not come with a CCD image sensor, so select the desired sensor and order it separately. Controller for multichannel detector head C7557-01 is also available. The software supplied with the C7557-01 allows easy control of the multichannel detector head and data acquisition.
