Scientific paper

The charge-coupled-device detector for the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) is described. The CCD is a thinned, rear-illuminated, RCA device with 320 rows and 512 columns of which about 316 x 498 are photometrically useable. The array has exceptionally high spectral bandwidth and responsive quantum efficiency and operates in an evacuated cold housing in an analog integration mode at -125 degrees C. The system response is linear from about 300 electrons to the full-well potential of 6 x 10 to the 5th electrons.
