e2v on CCD vs CMOS Sensors

AZO Materials publishes Teledyne e2v article "The Development of CMOS Image Sensors" with a table comparing CCD and CMOS sensors. Although I do not agree with some of the statements in the table, here it is:

Characteristic	CCD	CMOS
Signal from pixel	Electron packet	Voltage
Signal from chip	Analog Voltage	Bits (digital)
Readout noise	low	Lower at equivalent frame rate
Fill factor	High	Moderate or low
Photo-Response	Moderate to high	Moderate to high
Sensitivity	High	Higher
Dynamic Range	High	Moderate to high
Uniformity	High	Slightly Lower
Power consumption	Moderate to high	Low to moderate
Shuttering	Fast, efficient	Fast, efficient
Speed	Moderate to High	Higher
Windowing	Limited	Multiple
Anti-blooming	High to none	High, always
Image Artefact	Smearing, charge transfer inefficiency	FPN, Motion (ERS), PLS
Biasing and Clocking	Multiple, higher voltage	Single, low-voltage
System Complexity	High	Low
Sensor Complexity	Low	High
Relative R&D cost	Lower	Lower or Higher depending on series

Polarization Sensing in LWIR Band

KB ViTA kindly sent me an info about their latest LWIR camera that senses polarization: " It all was started with the fact KB ViTA has developed a very sensitive thermal imaging module VLM640, which had a sensitivity of at least 20 mK in 8 — 12 µm band. The sensor manufacturer turned to KB ViTA and offered an engineering sample from an experimental wafer of bolometric detectors with integrated polarization filters. For KB ViTA it was honorable but, at the same time, there was no understanding of what it is expected to ultimately obtain. The technology and the very idea of seeing the own polarization of the thermal photons of objects that surround us is absolutely new and hardly anyone has experience of processing such information. Below we will show you how the polarization in the IR spectrum looks. There were a polarizing sensor and electronics from VLM640 camera with 20 mK sensitivity. The interesting thing about the sensor is each pixel in the group of four is covered with a p...
