Quantum Efficiency Quantum efficiency is a measure of the fraction of the incident photons which strike a CCD and produce an electronic charge. A quantum efficiency of 1.0 means that all photons were recorded and a quantum efficiency of 0.0 means that none were recorded. Quantum efficiency can vary with wavelength due to the way different wavelengths of light interact with the silicon in the CCD chip. The quantum efficiency of the flight CCDs were measured in the NRL CCD lab. The results, as functions of wavelength, may be viewed as PDF plots or ASCII tables (recorded in the calib/quantum_eff/ directory).
