    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Silicon charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are widely used in imaging.
    • Ultraviolet (UV) light detection by CCDs can be challenging due to material limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the properties and application of coronene as a UV downconverting phosphor for silicon CCDs.
    • To assess coronene's spectral response and conversion efficiency for improved UV imaging.

    Main Methods:

    • Absorption spectrum measurements of coronene extended below 1000 A.
    • Measurement of coronene's average conversion efficiency at 2537 A.
    • Imaging experiments using a CCD coated with coronene at 3650 A.

    Main Results:

    • Coronene shows useful UV response down to at least 584 A.
    • The average conversion efficiency of coronene was measured to be approximately 20% at 2537 A.
    • Successful imagery was obtained at 3650 A using a coronene-coated backside illuminated CCD.

    Conclusions:

    • Coronene is a promising UV downconverting phosphor for enhancing silicon CCD performance in UV detection.
    • The material's spectral response and conversion efficiency suggest its utility in UV imaging applications.
