Designed for front-illuminated CCD area image sensors

The C7020/C7021/C7025 series are high sensitivity multichannel detector heads intended for use with front-illuminated CCD area image sensors (S9970/S9971/S9972/S9973 series). The C7020 series is designed for non-cooled CCD, while the C7021/C7025 series for thermoelectric cooled CCD. All of the C7020/C7021/C7025 series contain a low-noise driver circuit that operates on input of simple external signals. Mounting holes are provided on the front panel for attaching to other devices such as spectrometers.
The C7021/C7025 series also include a highly stable temperature control circuit that cools the sensor to a preset temperature (Ts=-10 °C) as soon as the power is turned on. If the cooler fails and causes overheating, the internal protection circuit automatically turns off the power to ensure safety. Despite the compact size, the housing configuration is designed for good heat dissipation.
As an option, HAMAMATSU also provides the C7557-01 controller for multichannel detector heads. Using the dedicated software for the C7557-01 allows easy control and data acquisition of a multichannel detector head from a PC.
