An Advanced Technology Camera for the WIYN Telescope

作为超大型32Kx32K光学成像仪的前导，一台8Kx8K相机将用于展示CCD技术中的几个先进概念：通过使用子阵列结构来隔离大型探测器的不良区域，从而实现双探测器产量；将读出时间减少10 - 20倍；启用高速测光；并通过执行电子“尖端/倾斜”校正，提高在任意大视场上交付的图像质量。该仪器将通过威斯康星-印第安纳-耶鲁-国家光学天文台联盟广泛使用，并将有助于将正交转移专利技术推向商业市场。

0352979/Jacoby, WIYN ConsortiumAs a prelude to a very large 32Kx32K optical imager, an 8Kx8K camera will be built to demonstrate several advanced concepts in CCD technology that: double detector yield by using a subarray structure that isolates bad regions of large detectors; reduce read-out time by factors of 10 - 20; enable high-speed photometry; and improve delivered image quality over an arbitrarily large field of view by performing electronic "tip/tilt" corrections. The instrument will have wide use through the Wisconsin-Indiana-Yale-National Optical Astronomy Observatory consortium, and will help bring patented Orthogonal Transfer technology to commercial markets.
