We systematically analyse the theoretical and the practical considerations pertinent to choosing the right CCD camera and unveiling the principles underlying multifarious parameters. Therefore, this analysis can be a valuable tool in scrutinizing each parameter and clarifying proper usage of a scientific CCD camera.展开更多

The diffraction pattern strongly disturbs the observation of the air plasma, so the origin and eliminating method of these diffraction patterns must be investigated. It is found that the Fourier transform of the periodic surface structure of either the mask mosaic of the color CCD or the pixel array of the monochrome CCD is responsible for the formation of the observed pattern. The residual surface reflection from the protection window of a CCD camera plays the essential role in forming the interesting two- dimensional diffraction spots on the same CCD sensor. Both experimental data and theoretical analyses confirm our understanding of this phenomenon. Therefore remov-ing the protection window of the CCD camera can eliminate these diffraction patterns.展开更多
