22 June 2005Scientific Detectors Workshop 2005 Taormina, Sicily 3 Presentation Overview JWST Science JWST Mission Instruments, Detectors, and ASICs Cosmic history from the Big Bang to today. JWST will elucidate the end of the dark ages and the beginnings of the galaxies that we see today. Spiral galaxy M81 seen in: (1) optical/Kitt Peak and, (2) 3.6  m, (3) 8  m, and 24  m and (d) composite Spitzer images. JWST’s near and mid-IR wavelengths offer a very different perspective on the Universe compared to optical!

Top JWST Goal - Find the First Light after the Big Bang How and from what were galaxies assembled? What is the history of star birth, heavy element production, and the enrichment of the intergalactic material? How were giant black holes created and what is their role in the universe ? Three instruments to do this: NIRCam (NASA/CSA), NIRSpec (ESA), MIRI (ESA/consortium/NASA), plus FGS-TF (CSA)     as seen by COBE Galaxies, stars, planets, life Galaxy assembly ? ?

22 June 2005Scientific Detectors Workshop 2005 Taormina, Sicily 14 Near-Infrared Detector Readout & Control SCA Control by Rockwell SIDECAR ASIC One ASIC per SCA Demonstrated performance met challenging JWST requirements in Feb., 2005 JWST will fly a total of 16 near-infrared SCAs and 16 SIDECAR ASICs

Near-Infrared SCA Performance with SIDECAR ASIC Quiescent lab conditions Raw data & noise measurements as reported by Rockwell Independent analysis of the same data at NASA/GSFC confirms Rockwell findings for CDS and MULTIACCUM*. Did not look at Fowler sampling Flight representative –2.5  m cutoff SCA –SCA to ASIC electrical interfaces –ASIC *For the data that were provided, we found that we needed one additional calibration step compared to Rockwell. The additional step was similar to correcting for a small pedestal drift. It was needed because the reference pixels did not perfectly track the regular pixels. Baseline NIRSpec mode shown in Red. Uses 88 non-destructive samples up t~1000 s ramp. The above figure was presented by Rockwell Scientific as part of an ASIC review package. Test data and analysis are by Rockwell staff.

ROIC Read Noise at 7.1 K "Read noise versus Fowler Sampling at 7.1K for ROIC 1-25-C2. The integration time was 25 sec for all Fowler sampled images. Please note that one box was in a region that gave consistently higher noise which is due to excess row-banding in the first 80 rows. There is an occasional second point with higher noise due to cosmic ray hits (which were not filtered out). Therefore, we feel it is valid to ignore the 1-2 points outside the major groupings at each sampling." 10 e- (Fowler-8) 2.5x lower noise than SIRTF/IRAC Test results & analysis reported on this slide provided by Raytheon & their partners.
