Abstract

The infrared astronomy is a very important branch of astronomy. Imaging observation is the basic approach to conduct infrared astronomy observation. Therefore, infrared Focus Plane Array (FPA) detector is needed for an infrared telescope. Detection toward celestial body need the detector to have high performance like extremely low dark current and low readout noise. Therefore, we designed a test equipment based on a 640 × 512 InGaAs array detector with a cryocooler which can cool the detector down to 77K. The detector is InGaAs of SITP-Hu-I type which is sensitive to 0.9us ~ 1.7um band. The test equipment is composed of a vacuum cryocooling system, a mechanical system and an electronical system. The vacuum cryocooling system can provide a low-temperature vacuum environment for the detector, and the mechanical system provides firm supporting. The electronic system provides the driver and readout of the detector.
