The BroCamII (dewar no. 2) was commissioned at the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) in January 1996, but had to be withdrawn during the summer due to a CCD malfunction from thermal stress.
This document describes the performance of the camera at the re-commissioning in December 1996 with a new CCD, wafer W14-2, at NOT known as CCD no. 4.
The CCD is a Ford-Loral three side buttable with 2048
imaging pixels.
Packaging for back-side illumination, ``ultra-thinning'' and coating was
performed by
the Steward Observatory CCD Laboratory.
The coating consists of HfO
for anti-reflection
and PPtF for back-side charging, essential for good blue sensitivity.
