DATABASE OF TECHNICAL DATA
DETECTORS
The table below lists the detector characteristics for the optical (U – I), near-infrared (J – K) and mid-infrared (L – Q) wavelength regions. Whithin each region all quantities are assumed to be constant as a function of wavelength.
| Optical | NIR | MIR | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Read-out noise | 2 e- | 3 e- | 200 e- |
| Dark current | 2 e-/h/pix = 0.00056 e-/s/pix | 4 e-/h/pix = 0.0011 e-/s/pix | 2000 e-/h/pix = 0.56 e-/s/pix |
| Quantum efficiency | 90 % | 90 % | 50 % |
