摘要： The invention provides apparatus and methods for detecting electromagnetic energy using an array of detectors arranged in at least one row and multiple columns. A single crystal body has multiple doped regions disposed therein. Each one of the detectors produces charge in a corresponding one of the doped regions in the body in response to electromagnetic energy impinging upon that detector. A first charge transfer device includes an output port and multiple serially coupled charge storage cells including multiple first charge transfer regions disposed in the body parallel to the row, or rows, of detectors. Multiple second charge transfer devices include multiple second charge transfer regions disposed in the body transverse to the row, or rows, of detectors and the charge storage cells. Each one of the second charge transfer regions is adapted to transfer charge produced in a corresponding one of the doped regions to a corresponding one of the charge storage cells. Each one of the doped regions corresponding to one of the detectors has a doping profile adapted to produce an electric field in a direction from the doped region toward a corresponding one of the multiple second charge transfer regions. Such an arrangement allows dual polarization detection with little or no modification of the system configuration.

摘要： A cooling apparatus is described which includes a throttling valve and an adiabatic chamber having an input and an output, the output connected to an input of the cryostat. With such an arrangement, an improved cooling apparatus is provided with improved efficiency over known Joule-Thompson cooling apparatus.
