Abstract
Charge-coupled devices (CCDs) have been the most common high-performance imaging detector for nearly all scientific and industrial imaging applications since the 1980s. In this chapter we describe the CCD imager and its use for high-performance imaging. Our focus is on scientific and industrial applications which require quantitative measurements of the incident scene, especially in low light level conditions and when spectral information is also required. We describe the architecture and operation of CCDs as well as their quantitative characterization and most important operational parameters.
