Abstract

We describe the architecture of high-frame-rate, frame-interline-transfer CCD arrays designed for optical signal processing applications. A gain-compression scheme is implemented in the pixel structure to increase the optical detection dynamic range. Simulation results are presented and compared with test results of imagers from the first fabrication lot.
