I noticed that image sensor manufacturers provide some optical characteristics in different formats. I wish to know how to interpret that information.
Sensitivity is characterized in \$\dfrac{V}{lx \cdot s}\$ for S11639 and TCD1201, which is \$\dfrac{V}{J \cdot s/m^2}\$. At the same time, RL1024P and S10077 report sensitivity in \$\dfrac{V}{J/m^2}\$. Now time 's' is gone from the characteristic. How do I interpret this characteristic in terms of light intensity and exposure time?
Conversion efficiency seems to be obvious - voltage increase per every additional electron. Is this related to sensitivity in any way, or it just gives the resolution and range of the output voltage?
Dynamic range - is it also the 'output' characteristic and has nothing to do with optical characteristics of the device?
It would be nice to have an extensive explanation for each term and how it is related to each other. What set of characteristics is preferable, what are the compromises. Any additional parameters that are worth mentioning?
EDIT:
Also, how do I convert Aviiva M2CL sensitivity that is reported in digital format to analog format, form \$\dfrac{LSB}{nJ/cm^2}\$ to \$\dfrac{V}{nJ/cm^2}\$
