CCD-world: Looking for CCD...

[Sutherland, Scott]

The following was posted to CCD-world:

Hello all:

I have an upcoming project and I am looking 
for a linear CCD with 5-10 um pixels, a 25-30 mm
width, and a pixel height of at least 200 um.
I need decent red and NIR sensitivity over 
the region 800-1050 nm (at least 5% at 1000 nm,
preferably closer to 10).  Back thinned,
back illuminated would be even nicer.  

This is for a spectroscopic application, which
is why I do not need an area CCD.  If that
is my only option, I can still use a subwindow and
bin it.  However, all the CCD's I can find that
meet my needs are 1024 elements or so and all
have 24-25 um pixel width.  Most of the high
pixel count linear arrays with small pixels have
square pixels, so the height is very small.  And
these long, thin arrays do not have good IR 
sensitivity.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
