The low-resolution imaging spectrograph red channel CCD upgrade: fully depleted, high-resistivity CCDs for Keck
2010
A mosaic of two 2k x 4k fully depleted, high resistivity CCD
detectors was installed in the red channel of the Low Resolution
Imaging Spectrograph for the Keck-I Telescope in June, 2009 replacing
a monolithic Tektronix/SITe 2k x 2k CCD. These CCDs were fabricated
at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and packaged and
characterized by UCO/Lick Observatory. Major goals of the detector
upgrade were increased throughput and reduced interference fringing
at wavelengths beyond 800 nm, as well as improvements in the
maintainability and serviceability of the instrument. We report on
the main features of the design, the results of optimizing detector
performance during integration and testing, as well as the
throughput, sensitivity and performance of the instrument as
characterized during commissioning.
