Teledyne Imaging Sensors HxRG™ Infrared Camera Platform Teledyne Imaging Sensors, partnering with GL Scientific (GLS), has developed a modular and turnkey infrared camera platform that integrates Teledyne’s HxRG™ series (H1RG™, H2RG™, or H4RG™) of sensor chip assemblies and SIDECAR™ ASIC controller electronics into the GLS compact, Stirling-cooler cryostat for testing purposes in the laboratory or for use on a telescope. STIRLING COOLER CRYOSTAT (SCC-g2) • Compact and modular o Dimensions: 275 mm x 275 mm x 425 mm o Mass : < 30 kg • Standard HxRG™ and SIDECAR™ ASIC configurations include o H1RG™ on molybdenum or invar package o H2RG™ on molybdenum, invar, or SiC package o H4RG-10™ on invar or SiC package o H4RG-15™ on SiC package o Single SIDECAR™ ASIC cryogenic focal plane electronics o Dual SIDECAR™ ASIC cryogenic focal plane electronics o External Teledyne SIDECAR™ Acquisition Module (SAM) • HxRG™ temperature range: 60 K to 200 K; 0.001 K stability • SIDECAR™ ASIC temperature range: 120 K to 200 K; 0.01 K stability • CTE-matched detector mounting plates • All internal custom flexcircuits included o HxRG™ to SIDECAR™ ASIC flexcable with light-tight feedthrough o Vacuum feedthrough flexcircuit connects the cryogenic SIDECAR™ ASIC to external, on-cryostat SAM • On-board micro-Pirani vacuum gauge to monitor cryostat pressure from atmosphere to 10-5 Torr • Internal, cooled, activated-charcoal getter maintains cryostat vacuum when disconnected from vacuum pump • Light-tight, tongue-in-groove seals used for all internal mechanical interfaces to detector shield and radiation shield • Stirling cooler requires only electrical power and chilled water or glycol to remove waste heat from cooler body (no compressors or pressurized gas lines required) o Vibration isolation mount decouples cooler motion from focal plane and camera head April 2012 For more information, please contact: Richard Blank at [email protected] or +1 805 373-4083, or Gerard Luppino at [email protected] or +1 808 780 9501
