C7043 and C7044 are high sensitivity multichannel detector heads for use with back-thinned FFT-CCD area image sensors (S7033/S7034 series)
that offer large full well capacity. C7043 is designed for the non-cooled back-thinned CCD image sensor (S7033 series), while C7044 for the one-
stage TE-cooled CCD area image sensors (S7034 series) for detection at even lower light levels. Both C7043 and C7044 incorporate a low-noise
driver/amplifier circuit that provides reliable operation from simple external signals. C7044 also includes a highly stable temperature controller that
cools the sensor to a preset temperature level (Ts= -10 C) as soon as the power is turned on. If the cooler fails and causes internal circuitry to
overheat, the built-in protection circuit automatically turns off the power to the thermoelectric cooler. Despite its compact size, the housing
configuration is designed for good heat dissipation, and threaded mounting holes on the front panel allow connections to other devices such as
monochrometers. The table below shows back-thinned CCD image sensors for C7043 and C7044. C7043 and C7044 do not come with a CCD
image sensor, so select the desired sensor and order it separately.
Controller for multichannel detector head C7557 is also available. The software supplied with the C7557 allows easy control of the multichannel
detector head and data acquisition.

*1: In normal CCD image sensors that receive light from the front surface, the active area is covered with electrodes for charge transfer.
These electrodes cut off UV radiation incident on the image sensor and also reduce the quantum efficiency. In contrast, back-thinned
CCD image sensors have a unique structure in which the back of the active area is finely ground to allow light to enter from the back
surface. This structure ensures high UV sensitivity and quantum efficiency because incident light need not pass through the
electrodes.
*2: The FFT-CCD was originally designed as a two-dimensional image sensor. However, it can be operated like a linear image sensor having
a large active area by transferring all the pixel signals in the vertical direction to the horizontal register (this is referred to as line binning).
