Scientific paper

The construction of an 8-element array camera which uses tapered light pipes to couple radiation onto Ga:Ge bolometers is described. The camera is designed for broad-band thermal infrared imaging observations between 5 and 35 μm on the Wyoming Infrared Observatory 2.34-m telescope. Electroforming and low-temperature casting techniques are shown to be useful for the construction of close-packed arrays. The performance of the array is discussed and a typical image taken with the camera is presented.
