Abstract
Here we review the efforts we take in a newly established laboratory inside Institute of Physics in Prague in order to characterize modern large-format CCD and CMOS sensors for sky survey applications. While the laboratory is primarily established in order to participate in low-level CCD sensor characterization for LSST project, we also managed to perform a thorough laboratory testing of recently released Andor Marana sCMOS (which is especially interesting for wide-field sky monitoring applications due to its large format, backilluminated design, high achievable frame rate and low read-out noise), as well as detailed measurements of response non-linearity of Moravian Instruments G4-16000 CCD cameras (based on large-format Kodak KAF-16803 chip) used in several robotic telescopes. We briefly review the results acquired on these cameras, as well as hardware and software we developed for the laboratory.
