5. Flat Field 4.5 um (Subsampled to 512x512) White: QE=1.05 Black: QE<0.85 Bad pixels: << 1% by number Corners have low QE Reference pixels visible as black edges

6. Flat Field 3.9 um (Subsampled to 512x512) White: QE=1.05 Black: QE<0.85 Bad pixels: << 1% by number Corners have low QE Reference pixels visible as black edges (Same caption as previous slide, just different wavelength).

7. Gain requires accurate nonlinearity correction

8. 0.8 um photons give different gain than 1.8 um photons. Interpreted as due to a quantum yield. Analysis in preparation.

11. Summary Rockwell (Teledyne) 2kx2k sensor H2RG-S010 tested in Operations Detector Lab at STScI. Median QE = 95% within 5% (1 sigma) at tested wavelengths (3.38, 3.9, 4.5 microns). Interpixel capacitance (IPC) is significant and blurs images due to the 2.5% crosstalk to each of the 4 nearest-neighbor pixels. Neglecting this crosstalk would cause the QE to be overestimated by 2*4*2.5% = 20%. This is apparently typical for epoxy-filled H2RG devices. New analysis (binning method) invented to account for IPC in measurement of system gain; alternative to autocorrelation method previously used. Intuitive and more resistant to EMI. Analysis of measurements from 0.5 to 6.0 um in preparation. JWST-STScI-001053
