Development of a 4-15 micron Infrared GaAs Hyperspectral QWlP Imager (HQI)
A viewgraph presentation on the development of a 4-15 micron Infrared GaAs Hyperspectral QWIP Imager (HQI) is provided. The topics include: 1) Background and Project Goals; 2) Instrument Overview; 3) Subassembly Description; 4) Operating Conditions; 5) Current System Performance Status; and 6) Near-Term Improvements.
Design and Performance of the HESSI Cryostat
The High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (HESSI) spacecraft, to be launched in July 2000, will be used to observe the Sun with the finest angular and energy resolutions ever achieved from a few keV to hundreds of keV. The spacecraft will use an array of nine germanium (Ge) detectors, each 7.1 cm in diameter and 8.5 cm long, operating at 75K. The detectors are mounted in a cryostat on a common cold plate, and cooled by a small Stirling-cycle cryocooler. This paper describes the design of the cryostat, special accommodations for the Ge detectors, interfaces with the cryocooler, and thermal performance of the engineering test unit.
