Figure 3
Linearity of a CCD detector with fiber-optic taper input. (a) Image of an aluminium step-wedge with 50 µm-thick steps. (b) Step-wedge cross section after dark subtraction, in logarithmic scale. The upper step is slightly higher showing a non-linear response at high level. It was checked that this effect does not appear in the raw image, confirming that the problem originates from image correction. |
