    Abstract

    To meet the requirements of high frame rate, high resolution and large dynamic range in laser applications, a high-speed CCD camera imaging system is designed by using conventional CCD as the detector. Interline area CCD array KAI-2020D′s working principal, timing generation and driving, and two-channel image data′s processing are introduced; a integrated video processing chip is used to generate the high-speed timing signals and high-speed drivers are used to drive horizontal signals; controller′s internal memory is used for signal processing such as processing the image data and depressing the data transfer rate asynchronously; exposure time is digitally controlled through the electronic shutter, overcome the disadvantage that CCD dynamic range can not meet the requirements of the different range of incident light intensity. The results show that the exposure time can be divided into 5 stages, each stage is 100~2000 μs, minimum adjustable step is 25 ns, signal to noise ratio (SNR) is more than 40 dB, dynamic range is not less than 58 dB, and the maximum frame rate is 35 frame/s, so the camera system meets the requirements of laser applications.
