Detector systems for ISO's photometer ISOPHOT
Abstract
One of the four focal plane instruments of the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) is ISOPHOT, a photopolarimeter for the wavelength region 3 to 200 microns. Each experiment occupies a quadrant of the focal plane. The telescope beam is directed into each experiment by means of a pyramid mirror and by tilting the satellite. The diameter of the unvignetted field of view is 3 arcmin or 7.85 mm in the focal plane (1 mm = 23 arcsec). The temperatures provided are 3 K for cooling the detector systems and 8 K for the experiment structure. Available detectors are described along with the current status of the experiment.
