Symphony-Solo Jobin Yvon Detector Controller with CCD-1024x256-OPEN-STE CCD Detector

The Horiba / Jobin Yvon Symphony CCD Detection System includes a family of array detectors designed and manufactured by Horiba / Jobin Yvon. These systems provide two-dimensional photo-detection, while offering outstanding sensitivity, high speed, low noise, ruggedness, durability and high reliability for a wide range of spectroscopic applications.

The primary components making up the Symphony CCD Detection System are a CCD Detector, Detector Controller, and Spectroscopic Application Software.

Horiba / Jobin Yvon's Symphony CCD Detectors utilize high quality scientific-grade sensors which offer an extensive selection of chip formats and sensor characteristics to meet the intended spectroscopic application. These CCD detectors are manufacturered with two cooling options Super Thermoelectrically Cooled (STE series) and Cryogenically Cooled (LN2 series).

Coordination of all Symphony Detector functions is provided by the Symphony Controller, which supplies power, array temperature regulation, digital readout control and signal output conditioning for the CCD detector. The controller offers a modular, high technology architecture that is targeted for extremely low read noise and high-speed spectral/image acquisitions, allowing users to obtain optimum results in minimum time. Communication between the Symphony Controller and the host computer is achieved via a 10/100 Ethernet link, which guarantees 100% data transmission integrity. Additionally, the controller platform provides flexibility in selection and storage of detector parameters for X and Y binning, area definition, selection of various gains and pixel processing speeds and synchronization of data acquisition to an external system event via Trigger In/Out controls.
