CCD-world: EEV 42-20FT CCDs?

Hi everyone,

As many of you know EEV make many large scientific imagers, such as the CCD42-80 & CCD42-90.  These are full-frame, low noise, high QE devices.

We are proposing to make the smaller CCD42-20 device, in frame-transfer format.
This would have the same electro-optical properties as the larger chips in the series, but would be very suitable for high-speed photometry/ spectroscopy.
~~ 10 Hz frame rate is envisaged.

Format will be 2k*512 image area, with same size store area.  13.5 um pixels.
Look at the web pages for info on CCD42-80 (data sheet can be downloaded from
     http://www.ccd.eev.com/datalist.htm)

The plan is to fit these chips into a custom Peltier sealed package, and make them AIMO (MPP).

Slightly further downstream, we would also be able to do 42-40FT devices in the same style (2k*1k image area + same store).

If anyone is interested please get in touch.

Hope to see some of you at the forthcoming ESO workshop.

Cheers,
Paul
