Electron Multiplication Model of EMCCD in Low Temperature
To study the charge multiplying characteristic of an electron multiplying charge-coupled device(EMCCD)
an ionization rate model is presented based on the impact-ionization theory.Aiming at two TI IMPACTRON EMCCD devices
we develop a multiplication model at low fields using avalanche multiplication integral formula.Compared with the multiplication curves on the datasheets of both devices of TC285SPD and TC253SPD
the calculated data from the model are taken as a reasonable fit to the actual curves.A method is put forward to predict the amounts of signal passing through the multi-stage cascaded electron multiplication register containing a fixed-voltage gate
which is useful to adjust and correct the gain of EMCCD devices.The model is suitable for lower temperature environment
in which electron-multiplication technology can be applied to photon counting strategies.
