Hi Ramesh
    1st - what do you mean!! 'Calibrating the CCD' - do you mean you want to
know its Responsivity in uV/e, its conversion factor in e/ADU, Its
linearity, its full well, its spectral characteristics.... - or all of them.
There are a wide arnge of ways of doing all of these. The spectral
charactersitics is, I would say, the most long-winded'

The following was posted to CCD-world:

     I am working with a TRIAX 320 Spectroscope that has a '2000 x 800
pixel' front-illuminated CCD chip as the detector. Each pixel is '15 x 15
microns' in dimension and hence the size of the chip is '30.00 x 12.20 mm'
The CCD chip is cooled by liquid nitrogen and is very sensitive in the
range from 500 nm to 850 nm. The chip is manufactured by SITe and the
Spectroscope is made by Jobin Yvon-Horiba, Edison, NJ
(http://www.instrumentssa.com/). I want to calibrate this CCD detector
chip. I don't know how to calibrate it. The manufacturers are not able to
provide any solution. So I thought I will put this question to you all, and
if anyone has any suggestions for calibrating this CCD please let me know.
Or if there is any published article or book, please let me know the name
and author/journal. 

Thank you,

Yours,

Ramesh.
