Next: CCD Scientific Performance Up: CCD Operation Previous: CCD Operation . A visible light photon releases only one electron-hole pair, and consequently many photons must be collected in each pixel for a measurable signal to be produced. ... This use as an imaging X-ray spectrometer requires that no more than one photon is incident on each pixel in any image frame, which imposes a requirement that image collection times be limited to ~seconds for typical astronomical applications. ...

NATURE|Vol 450|15 November 2007 NEW S D. VAN RAVENSWAAY/SPL WHAT TO DO WITH A WORMHOLE OPTICAL CABLES: the wormhole could act as a perfect optical fibre that is invisible from the outside -- but only at a single wavelength, the one the tube is designed to carry. OPTICAL COMPUTERS: dataprocessing elements for conducting logical operations on light signals could be placed inside the wormhole, so that all one would see of the computer is input and output sockets. ...
