Page 49: Exposure
Chapter 7: Exposure This chapter discusses factors that affect exposure and the accumulation of charge on the FPA sensor. A Focal Plane Array (FPA) such as the one in NIRvana HS is a matrix of photodiodes bonded to a readout circuit on an IC chip. The photodiodes are sensitive to NIR wavelengths in which they absorb NIR radiation, convert it into electrons, and send a voltage signal in response to form an image. -
Page 50: Noise Sources
CAUTION! If a sudden change is observed in the baseline signal, there may be excessive humidity in the camera vacuum enclosure. Turn off the camera and contact Teledyne Princeton Instruments Customer Support. Refer to Contact Information on page 100 for complete contact information. - Page 51 Chapter 7 Exposure When vibration may affect results, fan operation can be turned off while making sure that the coolant is circulating through the camera to maintain the sensor cooling temperature. If the fan is turned off and there is no coolant circulating through the camera, the built-in thermo-protection switch may shut the camera down to prevent thermal damage.

Page 66: Analog Gain
NIRvana HS System Manual Issue 1.0 Analog Gain Analog Gain is used to change the number of electrons required to generate an Analog-to-Digital Unit (ADU,) also known as a count. The Analog Gain is configured on the Analog to Digital Conversion expander. Analog Gain Control determines how many photons are required to generate an analog-to-digital unit. -
Page 67: Digitization
Chapter 8 Readout Digitization After gain has been applied to the signal, the Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) converts the analog information (continuous amplitudes) into digital data (quantified, discrete steps) that can be read, displayed, and stored by the application software. Digitization Resolution is 16 bits. Factors associated with digitization include the digitization rate and baseline signal. -

CAUTION! If a sudden change in the baseline signal is observed, there may be excessive humidity in the detector vacuum enclosure. Turn off the camera and contact Teledyne Princeton Instruments Customer Support for instructions. -
Page 69: Data Correction
Chapter 9: Data Correction This chapter discusses the methods incorporated by NIRvana HS for correcting data. For each individual camera, specific correction data are determined during the manufacturing process. All necessary correction data are stored within the camera's non-volatile flash memory (NVRAM.) During camera start-up, the available correction data are copied from the flash memory onto the correction data memory for real time access. -
Page 70: Flatfield Correction
NIRvana HS System Manual Issue 1.0 Figure 9-1: Typical Online Corrections Expander: Background Subtraction Flatfield Correction Non-uniformity of illumination sources, optical non-uniformity (i.e., vignetting,) and/or the non-uniformity of the InGaAs detector can be compensated for by applying Flatfield Correction. This procedure is performed by first setting up the experiment parameters, waiting until the detector has reached operating temperature to ensure stability, and taking a Flatfield Reference image of the illumination source (without the sample.) -
Page 71: Defect/Blemish Correction
All NIRvana HS cameras have a defect map pre-loaded into camera NVRAM. LightField creates a Blemish Definition file to correct for any inherent defects/blemishes that have been identified on the sensor by Teledyne Princeton Instruments. If additional corrections are required, customers can manually edit this Blemish Definition File. - Page 72 NIRvana HS System Manual Issue 1.0 This page is intentionally blank.

NOTE: Configuration parameters discussed in this section are found on the following expanders: •... -
Page 74: 10.2 Trigger Response Modes
NIRvana HS System Manual Issue 1.0 10.2 Trigger Response Modes NIRvana HS’s Trigger Response modes for Full Frame operation are: • No Response; • Start On Single Trigger; • Readout Per Trigger; • Expose During Trigger Pulse. Timing mode, when combined with the Shutter Mode options, provide the widest variety of modes for precision experiment synchronization. -
Page 75: No Response
Chapter 10 Advanced Topics 10.2.2 No Response In this mode, the camera ignores any external triggers and all settings are obtained from the setup parameters, making the duration of each exposure time constant and the interval times between exposures constant. NOTE: Open Before Trigger mode is not permitted in this triggering mode. -
Page 76: Expose During Trigger Pulse
NIRvana HS System Manual Issue 1.0 10.2.4 Expose During Trigger Pulse When Expose During Trigger Pulse timing is selected, the camera exposure is determined by the TRIGGER IN input on the camera (see Figure 10-1) which allows an external timing generator to control the exposure time for the camera. The transition from the inactive state to the active state of the input at the TRIGGER IN connector starts the exposure, while the transition from the active state to the inactive state ends the exposure. -
Page 77: 10.3 Output Signal Control
Chapter 10 Advanced Topics 10.3 Output Signal Control This section provides information about the use of the OUT1 and OUT 2 connectors on the rear of the NIRvana HS. The signals at these connectors can be used to monitor camera operation or synchronize with external equipment. The TTL-compatible logic level output (i.e., 0 to +3.3 V ) from the OUT 1/OUT 2 connectors on the rear panel can be used to monitor camera status and control... - Page 78 NIRvana HS System Manual Issue 1.0 Additional related signals and configuration settings include: • Exposing This level is at a logic high during the programmed exposure time (i.e., the time configured in the software.) • Effectively Exposing This level is at a logic high during the effective exposure time. This exposure time equals the read out time in Expose During Readout mode when the exposure time is less than the readout time.
