Kodak / Truesense / ON Semi
(KAF8300,
KAF10500) specify μV/electron and quantum efficiency for each of red, green and blue channels.
Aptina / ON Semiconductor (
MT9V032) specifies V/lux-second output.
In all three cases, the combined CFA + sensor spectral response is provided as quantum efficiency as a function of wavelength. This is directly usable as a quantal response, or readily converted to a radiometric spectral sensitivity.
The Aptina device in particular has an extended infra-red response, (page 55: QE >35% at 800 nm, QE >6% at 1000 nm), and working with photometric units in this region would be tedious and potentially error-prone, given that the photopic response,
V(
λ) drops below 1e-6 in this region, and is rarely tabulated beyond 830 nm.
