Scientific paper

An IR camera employing reimaging optics with a cold Lyot stop, provisions for spectral filtering, and a detector/mux chip mounting assembly has been developed for a ground-based telescope, in order to serve as a breadboard facility for advanced focal-plane array (FPA) detector technologies in a field-test environment. Attention is presently given to an impurity-band conduction extrinsic silicon FPA coupled to an f/4.2, 100-inch focal length Newtonian telescope; operation is in the 9.5-11.5 micron wavelength band. Digitized FPA output is recorded for image reconstruction and analysis. The camera's first application will be in missile plume observations.
