Figures of Merit to Characterize Integrating Image Sensors.

Abstract

Criteria and laboratory techniques used to measure the performance of integrating image sensors are described. The integating image sensor has a sensing layer that continually monitors the field of view and an electronic mechanism that sequentially reads out the integrated signal on an elemental basis. Test procedures are given for determining transfer characteristics, spatial response, spectral response, response uniformity, and image retention of these integrating image sensors. (Author)
