QExtra offers BIDD CCD detectors which improve the quantum efficiency over a broad spectral range.
With QExtra technology there is up to a 50% improvement in the quantum efficiency compared with basic BIDD CCDs.
QExtra provides low light detection capabilities from 300 nm to 1000 nm, predominantly advantageous for spectroscopy experiments where UV and NIR region are of importance.
Additionally, QExtra technology significantly suppresses etaloning effects noticeable in the NIR region above 750 nm in back thinned silicon scientific cameras.
The system is available in thermoelectrically-cooled and liquid Nitrogen-cooled CCDs.
