C7040 and C7041 are high sensitivity multichannel detector heads for use with back-thinned FFT-CCD area image sensors (S7030/S7031 series)
that offer high UV sensitivity and quantum efficiency. C7040 is designed for the non-cooled back-thinned CCD image sensor (S7030 series), while
C7041 for the one-stage TE-cooled CCD area image sensors (S7031 series) for detection at even lower light levels. Both C7040 and C7041
incorporate a low-noise driver/amplifier circuit that provides reliable operation from simple external signals. C7041 also includes a highly stable
temperature controller that cools the sensor to a preset temperature level (Ts= -10 ˚C) as soon as the power is turned on. If the cooler fails and
causes internal circuitry to overheat, the built-in protection circuit automatically turns off the power to the thermoelectric cooler. Despite its
compact size, the housing configuration is designed for good heat dissipation, and threaded mounting holes on the front panel allow connections
to other devices such as monochrometers. The table below shows back-thinned CCD image sensors for C7040 and C7041. C7040 and C7041 do
not come with a CCD image sensor, so select the desired sensor and order it separately.

■ Selection guide
The table below shows CCD area image sensors applicable for C7040, C7041.
Since C7040, C7041 do not include aCCD area image sensor, so select the desired sensor and order itseparately.

Note) CCD multichannel detector head C7042 for two-stage TE-cooled CCD area image sensor S7032 series is also available.
*1: In normal CCD image sensors that receive light from the front surface, the active area is covered with electrodes for charge transfer.
These electrodes cut off UV radiation incident on the image sensor and also reduce the quantum efficiency. In contrast, backthinned CCD image sensors have a unique structure in which the back of the active area is finely ground to allow light to enter from
the back surface. This structure ensures high UV sensitivity and quantum efficiency because incident light need not pass through the
electrodes.
*2: The FFT-CCD was originally designed as a two-dimensional image sensor. However, it can be operated like a linear image sensor
having a large active area by transferring all the pixel signals in the vertical direction to the horizontal register (this is referred to as
line binning).
*3: C7041
*4: Including the circuit gain.
*5: At MPP mode. Vertical register value. The actual value equals the sum of the vertical direction because of the binning
operation.
*6: Measured at 50 % of the full well capacity.
