The authors explain the technology of sensors and detectors using charged-couple devices (CCDs) and complementary metal-oxide semiconductors (CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. ), which can be manufactured smaller and with less cost than CCDs but only at a cost to performance. They describe CCD CCD
 in full charge-coupled device

Semiconductor device in which the individual semiconductor components are connected so that the electrical charge at the output of one device provides the input to the next device.
 and CMOS fundamentals; introduce array parameter issues such as well capacity, dark pixels, microlenses, and color filter arrays; explore the topics of quantum efficiency, responsivity, and noise sources; examine signal-to-noise ratio The ratio of the power or volume (amplitude) of a signal to the amount of unwanted interference (the noise) that has mixed in with it. Measured in decibels, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR or S/N) measures the clarity of the signal in a circuit or a wired or wireless transmission channel.  in terms of both radiometric units for scientific applications and photometric pho·tom·e·try
