Hamamatsu’s gated ICCD cameras combine high sensitivity with high-speed gate operation (high-speed electronic shutter) to image low-light and ultrafast phenomena. A gated ICCD camera is comprised of an image intensifier (I.I.) unit coupled to a CCD camera. It captures images of high-speed phenomena by means of gate operation, which has the same function as a camera shutter and is controlled by changing the electric potential of the electrodes in the image intensifier. The gated ICCD camera’s high-speed gating makes it suitable for high-speed, low-light applications such as visualizing discharge and plasma phenomena and observing fuel spray and combustion states in an engine. Hamamatsu’s gated ICCD cameras are available in a diverse lineup including high-end models with gate times down to 250 ps and lower-cost, compact models.

• Intensified cameras/ICCD
  These imaging devices contain an image intensifier (I.I.) fiber-coupled to a CCD sensor, CCD drive circuit, high-voltage power supply, and high-speed gate circuit, all integrated into one compact package. These intensified cameras measure low light and capture images of high-speed phenomena.
   
• Gated image intensifier units
  Gated image intensifier (I.I.) units are comprised of an image intensifier, high-voltage power supply, and gate driver circuit integrated into a compact unit. These I.I. units can be connected to a camera or microscope to capture images of high-speed, low-light events.
