Variable Aperture Mechanism For Use In Vacuum And Cryogenically-Cooled Environments

View page
US Patent:
20140061467, Mar 6, 2014
Filed:
Sep 6, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/605789
Inventors:
Robert Buzerak - Santa Barbara CA, US
David Marshall - Thousand Oaks CA, US
International Classification:
G02B 26/02
G01J 5/08
US Classification:
2503381, 359230
Abstract:
A variable aperture mechanism (VAM) comprises a cam assembly, a single motor capable of rotating the cam assembly, and a pair of aperture members which are coupled to the cam assembly and arranged to affect the size of an aperture, with the size of the aperture varying with the position of the cam assembly. The VAM would typically be used with a sensor having an associated optical field-of-view (FOV), with the aperture members moving in and out of the FOV with the rotation of the cam assembly such that the aperture can be set to multiple f-numbers. A thermal link between the aperture members and a cryogenically-cooled surface ensures that the aperture members are also cryogenically-cooled.

Detector Systems Having Stray Light Suppression Using A Retro-Reflector Shield And Negative Luminescence

View page
US Patent:
20170059398, Mar 2, 2017
Filed:
Aug 31, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/841380
Inventors:
- Thousand Oaks CA, US
Robert F. Buzerak - Santa Barbara CA, US
David J. Gulbransen - Thousand Oaks CA, US
International Classification:
G01J 1/06
G01J 1/42
Abstract:
An infrared detector system is provided for detecting infrared radiation from an infrared radiation source or a scene. The system includes a first area that is semiconductor-based and biased to produce negative luminescence, the first area including at least one semiconductor-based detector. The detector system further includes at least one additional area being semiconductor-based and biased to produce negative luminescence. A low-emissivity specular retro-reflector shield is configured to reflect infrared radiation and covers the first area and the at least one additional area. The shield defines an aperture to allow the at least one semiconductor-based detector to receive incident rays of the infrared radiation from the infrared radiation source or the scene via a low-scatter, low-emission optical system such that the radiation incident from the infrared radiation source or scene substantially fills the solid angle defined by the aperture at any point in the first area.
