Cyrogenic Test Facilities for an Optical Cryomechanism Qualification

摘要

The cryogenic test facilities available for qualification of infrared optical devices are described, including a gaseous thermal cycling cryostat, a cold shaking cryostat, a sophisticated shaking helium cryostat, and a general purpose helium cryostat. The facilities are to test ISOCAM cooled mechanisms onboard the infrared observation ISO satellite.
