    Abstract: A camera assembly includes a housing inside of which components are maintained at a cryogenic temperature. The components maintained at cryogenic temperature include a detector that is mounted on an integrated circuit, which in turn is mounted on a platform, such as a ceramic platform, which includes electrical connections for the integrated circuit. The camera assembly also includes one or more subplatforms, maintained above the cryogenic temperature, such as ambient temperature, that receive electrical inputs from outside the housing, and make electrical connections to the platform. The connections may be made from the one or more subplatforms, through openings in the platform and/or outside one or more outer edges of the platform. The assembly may include covers of exposed parts of the one or more subplatforms, to facilitate thermal isolation between the interior of the assembly (at cryogenic temperature) and the one or more subplatforms (above cryogenic temperature).

    Abstract: An extended area “cavity type” blackbody for use as a radiometric reference for imaging systems may have a well in the form of a cube having four sidewalls and a back wall, and open at the front. The temperature of the back wall may be controlled independently of the temperature(s) of the sidewalls. This system may produce infrared radiance closer to an ideal radiator than typical extended area sources. A “simple” blackbody is disclosed, having a source plate with a front emitting surface; a ledge element disposed in front of and below the source plate for heating air in front of the source plate; and (optionally) another ledge element disposed in front of and above the source plate for cooling air in front of the source plate. A housing may support the source plate and ledge element, and a vent may be provided in front of and above the source plate. A resistive heater may be associated with the ledge element; and (optionally) TECs may be associated with the other (cooling) ledge element. Angles of the ledges may be adjustable to optimize the best uniformity for a particular implementation. Temperature control of the ledges may be in unison with or independent from the source plate.

    Abstract: A backside thermography technique was developed based on the temperature sensitivity of laser-induced fluorescence in flowing two-dye solutions. The approach utilizes visible light and optically transparent packaging materials to obtain spatially resolved transient thermal measurements. This technique is compatible with optically transparent water-cooled packaging, which will allow for the characterization of processes where heat is added as well as removed. A setup was designed, constructed, and used to study the performance of seven two-dye Rhodamine B (RhB)-Rhodamine 110 (Rh110) fluorescent solutions. The effect of dye concentration ratio on sensitivity, maximum frame rate, and excitation area was characterized. The system was used to demonstrate in-situ temperature measurements showing the importance of two-dye light compensation, as well as backside thermography using a simple droplet contact method to investigate temporal response. Droplet contact experiments were conducted on actively heated and cooled surfaces to study local temperature and heat flux behavior during phase change.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pressure vessel (1) having a pressure vessel wall (1a) which completely surrounds a reaction chamber (2) as a pressure space for the initiation and/or promotion of chemical and/or physical pressure reactions of a sample (P) to be heated which is accommodated in the reaction chamber (2), wherein the pressure vessel wall (1a) has an infrared-permeable high-pressure window (30) which extends away outward in a direction from the reaction chamber (2) and which is supported in the pressure vessel wall (1a) with respect to a pressure in the reaction chamber (2), wherein the pressure vessel (1) furthermore has an infrared to temperature sensor (40) which is situated directly opposite the high-pressure window (30), in order to measure the temperature of a sample (P), accommodated in the reaction chamber (2), during a pressure reaction through the high-pressure window (30).
