Impact of common modes correlations and time sampling on the total noise of a H2RG near-IR detector

Abstract

We present the readout noise reduction methods and the 1/f noise response of an 2Kx2K HgCdTe detector similar to the detectors that will be used in the Near Infrared Spectrometer Photometer - one of the instruments of the future ESA mission named Euclid. Various algorithms of common modes subtraction are defined and compared. We show that the readout noise can be lowered by 60% using properly the references provided within the array. A predictive model of the 1/f noise with a given frequency power spectrum is defined and compared to data taken in a wide range of sampling frequencies. In view of this model the definition of ad-hoc readout noises for different sampling can be avoided
