Scientific paper
The latest in infrared imaging Focal Plane Array (FPA) technology incorporates Mercury Cadmium Telluride, a material that must be cooled to liquid nitrogen temperatures for operation. Fast cool-down, within five seconds, has been achieved under a harsh temperature environment (71 C). A Joule-Thomson Cryo-cooler employing two heat exchanger stages has been developed. High pressure krypton flows through one stage, providing initial pre-cooling, while high pressure nitrogen simultaneously flows through the other stage. The two-stage gas flow approach along with the superior pre-cooling properties of Krypton enable cool-down times of under five seconds.
