I am trying to establish an appropriate distance between a spectrograph output window and a CMOS sensor. The spectrograph creates a focused image on the CMOS sensor but I am trying to restrict the light as the initial pixels are capturing light of…

Usually, the frequency of a computer's CPU is expressed in GHz. But does this mean that the individual transistors etched on the chip also switch on and off billions of times per second? Or are the high frequencies of CPUs achieved thanks to some…

I know how a 3 Transistor CMOS camera pixel works. As I understand, 4T CMOS pixels have one additional transistor that connects the photodiode to a so-called floating node. What is that floating node and what is it good for? Seems like a storage for…
