An Overview of EM Gain Ageing in EMCCD Sensors
Figure 1:The iXon Life and Ultra EMCCD cameras are the latest |
For a general introduction to what is EMCCD and EM gain and how they work please see the article: What is an Electron Multiplying CCD (EMCCD) Camera.
EM Gain Linearity solved with RealGain™
For early EMCCD cameras the EM Gain that was selected in the software did not have a linear relationship with the real gain applied by the camera. While this has long been resolved, and the solution appears quite logical, initially at least this non-linear response made it more difficult for users to make the kind of quantitative measurements that these cameras were finding use in.
