Scientific Charge-Coupled Devices
Scientific Payment-Coupled Devices Books
Product Description
The invention of the payment-coupled device 30 years ago was the beginning of a remarkable image capture technology that has changed the course of imaging in fields ranging from astronomy to biotechnology. This book presents a comprehensive history, tutorial, and state-of-the-art description of CCDs and is proposed for scientists, engineers, imaging hardware managers, and graduate students.

I plotting the book was wonderful. Very informative and exciting to read.
As a biologist, I found it very accessible, “searchable”, and full of the kinds of facts that only scientists and engineers may possibly like.
I gave it three stars because I felt it may possibly have benefited from a “dummy chapter”. I am interested in the opertation of the human retina and I had no background in either astronomy or semiconductor physics. If there is ever a second edition I hope Mr. Janesick puts alot of “idiot pictures” , i.e. pictures that make everything immediately evident, in a chapter, or at least, an appendix. Also, having never built a camera before, I would have liked some more in rank on pinouts, circuitboards, and associated circuit elements (i.e. resistors, capacitors, power supply, etc.).
Perhaps, though this may stretch the scope of the author’s theme, a small in rank on manufacturing procedures (ion shoot, diffusion, chemical vapor depsosition, photolithography, oxide growth, etching, etc.), microlenses (their fabrication and use), and color filter arrays (manufacture and use) should have been included. But, as I said, these probably are full topics in their own aptly.
I, again, warn the reader of this book review that I am not an astrophysicist, electrical engineer, materials scientist, or optical engineer. I am just a lowly biologist, trying to find a retina…

This book is fantastic. It gives bounty of in rank to know what a CCD is and how it works. It is simple to read, and there are bounty of examples of calculations to help know the physics of the CCD.

Everything you sought after to know about designing and building CCD cameras is contained in this book. Details of how the device works (from a solid-state physics/EE perspective) are outlined. Janesick describes the fundamental operation of the devices: how the payment is generated, collected, transfered, and read out. This book is also a matter-of-fact manual as well and contains circuit diagrams and lots of helpful tips and gotchas for building a working, low-blast, state of the art CCD camera. CCDs have, at some level, been displaced by CMOS imagers and other types of sensors, but anyone working with these technologies will find a wealth of knowledge in this tome. I would highly urge this book to any professional working with any type of solid-state imager. The author, even as working at JPL and elsewhere, played a critical role in the development of scientific grade CCDs over the past twenty years. This book represents the culmination of lectures, monographs, and professional papers that he wrote over twenty years or more in the field. It is really a core dump of all his accumulated knowledge. Be warned that this is an advanced book, apposite for graduate students or professionals (primarily EEs and astrophysicists) working with CCDs and other solid state imagers in either the astronomical or defense fields. If you are an amateur trying to place a CCD camera on the back of a telescope in your patch to look at Mars, or you know a bit about electronics and want to learn how your digital camera works, this is not the book for you.

Absolutely fabulous reference for anyone interested in how CCDs work, and how to make them work. I highly urge this as a resource: the material is purely technical and laden with physics and math… not a layman’s explanation. Also has fantastic experience to relate and bounty of matter-of-fact in rank on getting your system performance up.
