Abstract | This paper describes a fast technique for estimating the dark signals of the charge coupled devices (CCDs) of the visible telescope (VT) onboard the space multi-band variable object monitor (SVOM). It is based on the vertical gradient in the dark field images of the frame transfer CCDs. During the process of frame clear, exposure, frame transfer and readout, the characteristic of dark signal accumulation is analyzed firstly. Next, the linear fitting method is used to fit the signal level of the dark field image in the vertical direction, and the slope of the fitting line represents the dark signal factor. This technique only needs one dark field image and can be used for simple and efficient dark signal measurements of frame transfer CCDs. Besides, an experiment of detecting dark signals as a function of temperature based on the fast technique has been carried out. Making use of the Shockley-Hall-Read theory, two curve fitting formulas are adopted to the experimental results for VT Advanced Inverted Mode Operation (AIMO) CCD and VT Non-Inverted Mode Operation (NIMO) CCD respectively. The experimental results and the formulas are used to determine the optimal on-orbit cooling temperature of VT CCDs. |
