Gain Uniformity
The gain or sensitivity of electro-optical components like image intensifiers, streak tubes or CCD and CMOS sensors might be different depending on the spatial position on the active area. The gain difference from the mean value can be described as gain non-uniformity. Nevertheless it is typically called gain uniformity.
Gating
This term is typically used to describe the fast switch ON or OFF of an electro-optical gate or detector. During the ON time the detector is active, while during the OFF time no signal is generated. The suppression ratio between the ON and OFF is referred as shutter ratio. The photocathode of streak tubes or image intensifiers are typically used for gating purposes. The shutter ratio may reach values of more than 106.
GigE
This characterizes a camera interface based on the Gigabit Ethernet standard. GigE also called GigE VisionTM provides a specified set of control commands.
