MVIC flight and flight spare sensor calibration

2020 
The Multi-spectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) detector is a time-delay and integration (TDI) CCD with 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 TDI modes. MVIC is scheduled to fly as part of the instrument suite on the Lucy mission to the Trojans launching in 2021. We present here the pre-delivery SwRI Detector Characterization Lab (SDCL) data of the Flight (FM) and Flight Spare (FS) from 370 to 925nm. The MVIC sensor consists of six broad-band top-hat filters on a single sapphire substrate developed by VIAVI Solutions and six CCDs on a single wafer developed by Semiconductor Technology Associates (STA). We have calibrated both the FS and FM for read noise, dark current, linearity, quantum efficiency, and total system throughput. The data were collected using standard Photon Transfer Curve techniques at strategically chosen wavelengths corresponding to center and edge of the bandpass filters. Each system was also calibrated for spuriously operational pixels and cosmetic defects. The pixel response function is mapped on a pixel-by-pixel basis for the 64 TDI mode.
