Electron Multiplying CCD Camera Performance Tests
Original language description
For satellite laser ranging, TV guiding is widely used to point the laser beam on the satellite. The ISIT (Intensified Silicon-Intensifier Target) camera has been applied in last years for its high sensitivity, which enabled to track all satellites of interest. However, there is a strict limitation to use it for daylight observation. The new type of CCD camera Electron Multiplying CCD (EMCCD) provides high sensitivity for short integration time required for fast real time tracking while maintaining thehigh ruggedness for daylight tracking. An additional internal gain reaches a factor up to 200 in comparison with regular CCD. During our tests in Graz and Shanghai we did demonstrate the ability for satellite laser ranging during the daylight and duringthe nighttime while exploiting the higher sensitivity, as well.
