Abstract

1472774 Cooling IR detector TEXAS INSTRUMENTS Inc 21 June 1974 [25 June 1973 (3)] 27649/74 Heading G1A [Also in Division F4] An I.R. detector is mounted in vacuum and releasably attached to a refrigerator. The detector 12 is mounted on the metal end 124 of glass cylinder 122 which fits over the cold finger of a refrigerator. Walls 166 and 170 define a vacuum chamber equipped with non volatile getter 176, around the detector which may be mercury cadmium telluride and comprise a plurality of elements. Leads from the detectors are deposited on glass 122, and connect to terminals 150 of biasing resistors 154 mounted on insulator 148. Further leads 156 connect terminals 150 to output sockets 157, 158. Thermal contact between detector on member 16 and the cold finger 70 Fig. 2 (not shown) is maintained by bias spring 114 and flexible heattransfer strip 118. The detector is preferably cooled to about 77‹K using a stirling cycle refrigerator of specified construction with helium as working fluid. The detector may be employed in a scanning system and its output may be amplified and applied to LEDs to produce a visible signal.
