Laboratory Evaluations of a CCD System For the Balloon-borne Solar Telescope
Abstract
The CCD camera, DALSA/CA-D7-1024, which is a commercial CCD system, is selected as the main detector for the BAO's Balloon-borne Solar Telescope. The principal parameters were tested by the YNAO, CCD-Testing Laboratory in the early September, 1996. The equipment of the lab and the method of the evaluations are described in the Poster. Evaluations show that the overall behavior of the camera is superb among the non-cooling commercial CCD systems. Nevertheless, there are some flaws in the image-collecting system which must be solved before launch.
