Abstract

Several 40K single-stage coaxial high frequency pulse tube cryocoolers (PTCs) have been developed to provide reliable and low-noise cooling for GaAs/AlGaAs Quantum-Well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs). The inertance tubes together with the gas reservoir become the only phase shifter to guarantee the required long-term stability. The mixed regenerator consisting of three segments has been developed to enhance the overall regenerator performance. At present, the cooler prototype has achieved a no-load temperature of 29.7K and can typically provide 860mW cooling at 40K with 200W electric input power rejecting at 300K. The performance characteristics such as the temperature stability and ambient temperature adaptability are also presented.
