Teledyne e2v to continue to develop and manufacture high specification CCD image sensors

CHELMSFORD, UNITED KINGDOM – Media OutReach – 12 March 2020 – Teledyne e2v, part of the Teledyne Imaging
group, stated today that it will continue its role as a long-term partner in
the development, fabrication, and supply of CCD detectors to the high science
market — including space exploration, Earth observation, and ground-based
scientific endeavours in the fields of microscopy, spectroscopy and astronomy.

As a longstanding
supplier to the European Space Agency (ESA), NASA, ESO, and JAXA, e2v
understands well the required diligence of delivering science-level visible
detection to an environment where detectors and systems simply must work.

 

Miles Adcock, President
of space and quantum at e2v commented, “It is incredible to think how the
invention of the CCD more than 50-years ago would lead not only to a
multi-billion-dollar-a-year imaging industry but also enable the discovery of
distant worlds, and provide the improved understanding of life-sciences that we
enjoy today.”

 

While other technology
companies have migrated to CMOS technology over continuing development of CCD
technology, Teledyne Imaging, through its European business, Teledyne e2v, and
with Teledyne DALSA’s foundry in Bromont, Canada, will continue to supply high
quality, mission-critical CCD detectors to enable the most demanding of imaging
applications. In addition, the group will continue to invest in complementary
technologies such as CMOS, x-ray, spectroscopy, and infrared technologies, providing
a well-balanced set of business lines to address a growing customer base across
existing and emerging markets.
