This detector has a built-in image intensifier in front of the CCD sensor to multiply the light signal into the detector. It is used in very low light applications where the raw light signal is too low to be detected by a regular CCD sensor.

Sciencetech ICCD Detector is a 1.5ns nano-fast camera system. Complete Gated ICCD Camera System includes mount, spectrograph and software. ICCD mount and different models of spectrographs are available for additional price.

Gated Operation
For high speed electronic gating, the intensifier is normally turned off by holding the photocathode electrode a few volts positive (typically +50V) with respect to the MCP. This prevents any photoelectrons generated in the photocathode from reaching the MCP. Thus the intensifier acts as an electronic shutter preventing light from reaching the CCD, causing the CCD sensor to be dark during this period.
To gate the intensifier on, the voltage on the photocathode is made negative - typically –160 to –200V. This causes the generated photoelectrons to accelerate towards the MCP, get amplified in intensity and be detected by the CCD sensor.
