Charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are silicon-based optical detectors used in most near-UV, visible and near-IR imaging and spectroscopic astronomical instruments. They range in format from television resolution (340×512 pixels) to 10 000×10 000 pixels. Modern CCDs have intrinsic noise of just a few electrons, dynamic range of 100 000 and quantum efficiency of over 90% throughout most of their useful...
