Sensors and Functionality
These ultra compact, lightweight CCD cameras feature USB connections, making them extremely versatile for a wide range of applications including industrial automation, quality control, medical imaging, microscopy, and security technology. The DCU223 models are equipped with a high-quality SONY 1/3" CCD sensor with XGA resolution (1024 x 768) and provide a full frame repetition rate of 30 fps. The DCU224 models have a 1/2" CCD sensor with SXGA resolution (1280 x 1024) and provide a full frame repetition rate of 15 fps.
SM1 Thread Compatibility
Compatibility of the CCD Camera with Thorlabs' SM1 Internal or External Threadings via the Included SM1 (1.035"-40) Adapters. Replacement adapters are shown below.For all models, higher frame rates can be achieved by using the Area of Interest (AOI) or Binning functions; the former increases the frame rate by only reading a selected area of the sensor, whereas the latter increases the frame rate by combining pixel readings before transferring them to the PC, but in this case, image resolution is sacrificed. The computer can communicate digitally with the camera through the USB 2.0 interface, thus enabling the user to transmit images and control camera settings seamlessly.
Software
Each CCD camera comes with ThorCam, our Windows-compatible software package on CD. In addition, the cameras are supported by an extensive software development kit. Standard drivers like Direct Show (WDM), Active X, and TWAIN are provided. In addition, over 20 demo programs (including source code) are supplied. A USB cable for connecting the camera to a PC is also included.
Lenses
The DCU223 CCD cameras are fully compatible with our standard C-Mount Camera Lenses and High-Magnification Zoom Lenses, which are sold separately. Our standard lenses include fixed focal lengths of 3.5 mm - 75 mm with maximum apertures of up to f/0.95, as well as an 18 - 108 mm f/2.5 zoom lens. Our high-magnification zoom lenses are a modular system that features magnification from 0.07 - 28.
Included Mounting Adapters
Each CCD camera includes two thread adapters: one external C-Mount to internal SM1 (1.035"-40) and one external C-Mount to external SM1. The C-Mount threading of the CCD camera can be easily connected to components with Thorlabs' standard SM1 thread via one of the two included SM1 adapters, as shown in the photo to the right. Additional or replacement adapters may be purchased below. A mounting adapter plate is also provided with the CCD camera; by using the included M4 x 10 mm or 8-32 x 3/4" cap screw, the camera can be threaded onto Thorlabs' TR series Ø1/2" posts. Every unit also ships with four M3 x 6 mm screws for mounting the adapter plate to the camera.
Trigger Option
The optional CAB-DCU-T1 and CAB-DCU-T2 cables can replace the standard USB connection while also enabling the use of the additional trigger input and output ports of these cameras. The exposure and readout/transfer events of the camera can be initiated via the input trigger; external events like strobe lights can be triggered by the camera through the output trigger. The trigger configuration, i.e. the source of the input trigger and the timing for the output trigger, can be set through the provided software or the LabVIEW drivers.

Pixel Sensitivity of the CCD Camera
Pixel sensitivity versus wavelength plots are shown at the right for the monochromatic and color versions of these CCD cameras. The color model incorporates a removable IR filter that blocks the spectral region marked by the pink background. For this model, the popular Bayer color filter array is used to acquire digital color images. The filter is based on the repeating 2 x 2 pattern shown to the left; half of the total number of pixels are green (G), and the remaining pixels are equally divided between red (R) and blue (B).
Due to this arrangement, each pixel is only sensitive to one color, and as a result, the overall sensitivity of the color image is three times lower than that achievable with a monochromatic sensor. Thus, B&W CCD cameras are preferred in low-light situations. Even though only one third of the color information is obtained at each pixel, a full-color image can be achieved through the use of various demosaicing algorithms that interpolate a set of red, green, and blue B G B G values at each point.

However, we do offer C++ example code for the C dll's, which would allow you to use the same methods in the CTypes Python package. Jerri Drazkiewicz

(posted 2020-04-24 02:20:05.0) Thank you for contacting Thorlabs. The CAB-DCU-T1 allows for both input and output communication to the camera, while the CAB-DCU-T2 allows only for the input. For your application, either of these cables will work. If you also plan on sending a trigger out from the camera, then CAB-DCU-T1 is the correct option. Min Liang

(posted 2019-01-10 07:18:28.0) Thank you for contacting Thorlabs. The damage threshold of these cameras will be dependent on a number of factors including the quantum efficiency at the given wavelength, the gain settings of the camera, and the bit depth. The damage threshold will be higher than the saturation, so it is typically easy to avoid damage just by looking for saturated pixels. I will reach out to you directly to discuss your application. etienne.brasselet
(posted 2018-11-12 10:54:27.183) Hello,
i would like to know whether I can detect some signal at 1064nm with camera DCU223C, even though the sensitivity will be very low? I would like to know it before purchasing optics at 1064nm dedicated to a preliminary study...
Thanks. YLohia
(posted 2018-11-13 09:51:29.0) Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. The DCU223C has two filters: an IR blocking filter and a Bayer filter. The IR blocking filter is removable while the Bayer filter isn't. Leaving the Bayer filter makes it unsuitable for use with 1064nm. That being said, this all depends on what your requirements are and what beam parameters (angle of incidence, beam diameter, power) you are working with. We recommend looking into the DCC3240N, which is designed for the NIR range. Lucchij5
(posted 2018-07-05 11:43:13.297) Hello. I'm working on using a CCD to try to capture plasma images from laser ablation. I have a photodiode on a side path of the laser, which sends a trigger to a signal delay generator, which then triggers the CCD. With the laser at 10 Hz I am able to acquire at 10 FPS. However, I end up dropping around 30% of my frames. My bigger issue is that even setting a large delay (5ms) on the delay generator still shows plasma, even though it should only last a few microseconds. My PI believes that our jitter is high or that we are overexposing, despite the exposure time being set to minimum.
Another problem is sometimes increasing delays caused the plasma image to travel upwards in the frame, my PI also believes is an electronic issue with the camera. YLohia
(posted 2018-09-17 09:35:44.0) Response from Yashasvi at Thorlabs USA: Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. Based on our direct correspondence regarding the troubleshooting of this issue it appears the plasma optical intensity is extremely high, resulting not only in saturation but blooming; a super-saturation phenomenon. As a result, you will need some level of ND filtering. The extreme intensity can cause all manner of non-ideal effects (possibly the perplexing insensitivity to the delay) and potential for spurious signal (e.g. blooming, or crosstalk due to light-piping in the chip, or photodiode “lag”) to be registered even if the illumination event is occurring prior to the actual camera exposure interval.
Given that the object creates a brief pulse of illumination (apparently a few microseconds), well below the exposure granularity of the camera, one can visualize this illumination pulse occurring within an exposure “window,” the position of which is determined by your delay generator and the width of which is determined by the camera exposure time. Then, once the pulse is properly positioned within the exposure window, the width of the window (exposure time) makes no difference (nor would a relatively small amount of jitter).
Our recommendation is that the exposure time should be set to at least 150 microseconds (arbitrarily creating some timing margin inside the camera). You will then have to experiment with ND filters until you find a combination that gets you below saturation, then adjust your delay to ensure maximizing the signal, and then observe that increasing the exposure time has little or no effect. Please note that the camera has its own fixed, minimum delay in the manual.
Assuming the photodiode detector’s trigger output delay is less than that of the camera (it does seem to be the case from the data sheet), then adding delay to the trigger signal to the camera will not be helpful. You may have a fundamental problem of the event occurring before the exposure. It is possible that the reason you are seeing anything at all is because the sensor is being overwhelmed even though the camera hasn’t even begun its exposure. If this is the case, once you start the ND process and getting away from blooming, the signal will effectively disappear. We recommend that you diagram and characterize the relative delays to avoid getting caught up in a loop. yin.xiao

The DCU223M uses Sony ICX204AL, but unfortunately, they do not provide a fill factor for this sensor or a width for the interline register.

(posted 2015-01-19 01:20:09.0) Response from Bweh at Thorlabs: The sensor is made by Sony and we have the manufacturer's specification sheet at the following link: http://www.thorlabs.com/thorcat/15900/DCU223M-MFGSpec.pdf
Noise in a camera image is the aggregate spatial and temporal variation in the measured signal, assuming constant, uniform illumination. There are several components of noise. Dark Shot Noise results from dark current that flows even when no photons are incident on the camera. It is a thermal phenomenon resulting from electrons spontaneously generated within the silicon chip. It is independent of the signal level but is dependent on the temperature of the sensor. Read Noise is generated in producing the electronic signal. This results from the sensor design but can also be impacted by the design of the camera electronics. It is independent of signal level and temperature of the sensor. Photon Shot Noise is the statistical noise associated with the arrival of photons at the pixel. Since photon measurement obeys Poisson statistics, the photon shot noise is dependent on the signal level measured. It is independent of sensor temperature.
More of this discussion on noise sources for such cameras can be found at the following link, under the "Camera Noise" tab.

I would like to setup the 1064-nm high power laser focal spot size about 10~50um.
First I will attenuate the power from laser source
I decide to use relay image method with two PCX lens for collimating firstly
and then use the objective mag. 10X or 20X to further relay the image into the 8 bit B&W CCD (I think DCU223M is suitable)and use visible filter 600-800nm wavelength for getting 1064-nm signal what I need better contrast .
So,some questions need to be checked before purchase
1.I knew DCU223M have A/D converter,but does this have measure tool software for me to tune the stage actually to know the real um/pixel?
if no this function,maybe I need to buy NI instrument frame grabber to this CCD image digital signal.
2.Does this CCD linear for 1064-nm?if not,I think thorlabs have calibration factor for me,right?
please advise me ASAP

(posted 2013-05-31 06:05:34.503) We have recently purchased a DCU223M camera. I placed it in the imaging path of a commercial microscope. I looked at features with known size but I cannot get the specified objective magnification (the optical misalignment has been ruled out). The discrepancy I get is between 15% and 20%. Because there are many models with different pixel sizes in your catalog, I would like to know, if the pixel size specification is correct (4.65 um). Magnification I get is smaller than expected, meaning that there might be larger pixel size than stated.

A list of the functions contained in the driver can be found in the product manual. There is a software trigger but if you need to achieve exact timing, it will probably be better to use the external trigger input of the cameras. We unfortunately do not have an exact sensitivity curve for the cameras but we measured the minimum power for those. This value varies for the exact camera model(1.4nW/mm2 for the DCU223X and 1.2nW/mm2 for the DCU224X) at 635nm. Some typical sensitivity curves for the chips can be found under the tab "Pixel Sensitivity" of the product page. The sensitivity above 900nm will indeed be very low and is not specified, even as a typical value by the chip manufacturer unfortunately. jlow

(posted 2012-10-12 03:36:00.0) A response form Julien at Thorlabs: The pixel pitch is 4.65µm and the active area on the pixels corresponds to about 30% of the whole area so the spacing from the respective active areas of neighboring pixels will be about 3.25µm. The chip is covered with microlenses so that the effective active area is increased to about 60%, depending on the angle of incidence of the light. So the effective pixel spacing would be 1.86µm at normal or close to normal incidence. ashadas2000

(posted 2011-10-08 11:14:00.0) A response form Julien at Thorlabs: Thank you for your inquiry. The ration between the AOI and the frames per seconds is unfortunately not linear at all. the main reason is that there are is a lot of on-chip overhead processing which will limit the max sample rate. Also, the chip is read out line per line. If a line is not within the AOI it is not read out and the sample rate increases. However, for each line included in the AOI, the whole line is read out. All in all, the fastest achievable sample rate with this camera is about 115 fps. you might want to use either the DCC1545M CMOS USB cameras, which have a higher pixel clock and can thus achieve higher sample reates (~500fps) or go for a LC100 line CCD camera where samples of max 900fps can be achieved. blackbloodmen

(posted 2010-09-20 05:17:48.0) Response from Angelika to yuj210: Thank you for your questions! Both camera responses are linear, meaning an increase in incoming light results in an increased signal with a linear dependency, as long as you are within the dynamic range of the camera (no pixels overexposed). In general the DCU camera (CCD chip) has a better noise performance, but a lower saturation level. The wavelength dependent sensitivity for both cameras can be seen as a graph on the product pages on our website in the tab "Pixel Sensitivity" (DCU) and "Tab Responsivity" (DCC). The price difference between the two cameras result mainly from the CCD chip used for the DCU camera. The manufacturing cost of this chip is much higher compared to the CMOS chip. The CMOS chip has a higher background noise and is thus not quite as sensitive as the CCD chip. Another difference is the exposure and the readout of the image lines in the sensor. The CCD sensor (DCU) exposes all image lines at the same time (global shutter) and is thus the device of choice to image quick movements. The DCC camera with the CMOS chip exposes the pixel lines consecutively (rolling shutter) and thus images of quick movements become blurry.
As it seems that you do not want to image movements, the DCC camera should also be suitable.
The drivers can be addressed via VB, C++, C# and Labview. We offer also programming examples with the cameras. With these you can realize the example you are describing. yuj210
