SRI specializes in the custom and OEM development of high-performance charged-coupled device (CCD) and complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors. SRI-designed imagers offer advanced capabilities ranging from high quantum efficiency (QE) and high speed to 100% fill factor and back illumination [1]. It is the combination of novel back illumination methods and high-speed sensor circuitry that enables SRI to produce unique sensors for the most difficult applications.

SRI applies world-leading expertise in the following areas to meet demanding industrial and scientific sensor requirements:

• CCD and electron multiplying CCD (EMCCD) imagers perform in extreme low light situations to enhance day/night vision systems including goggles, sights, vehicles, and more
• Low-light CMOS image sensors for night vision, persistent surveillance, and aerospace applications
• Scientific imaging solutions for microscopy and biotech applications as well as DNA sequencing and spectroscopy
• Time delay integration [2] (TDI) CCD technology enables airborne reconnaissance and satellite imaging, machine vision, and inspection of continuous/web processes
