Figure 7.16 Intensity profiles across the central pixel row of a 64x64 pixel focal plane array detector, recorded through a 36x objective and integrated over the 1000-4000 cm spectral range, comparing synchrotron (circles) and Globar (squares) as sources. The data show that the synchrotron beam can be spread out to provide a strong signal over a limited portion of the array. (From Moss et al. 10.)...

The simplest (and very common) setup is the dewar and source used for the screening test of cooled detectors or focal plane arrays (FPAs) - as shown in Figure 9.1. FPAs are mounted in a dewar along with a spectral filter and dewar window, and illuminated by a separate IR source. Such a dewar can be evacuated and cooled in an hour or so one can use it to evaluate three or four FPAs in a single day. It is versatile and will undoubtedly be found in test labs for many years. A more complex variant would include a small source inside the dewar. Dewar setup is described in...
