چکیده

Recent work at Los Alamos National Laboratory has demonstrated the physical principles for a new type of solid-state cryocooler based on anti-Stokes fluorescence. Design studies indicate that a vibration-free, low-mass "fluorescent cryocooler" could operate for years with efficiencies and cooling powers comparable to current commercial systems. This paper presents concepts for a fluorescent cryocooler, design considerations and expected performance.

The Los Alamos Solid - State Optical Refrigerator ( LASSOR ) Program

Recent work at Los Alamos National Laboratory has demonstrated the physical principles for a new type of solidstate cryocooler based on anti-Stokes fluorescence1. From our laboratory work and computer simulations we estimate that a practical, first-generation, all-solid-state fluorescent cryocooler will have the following properties2: • no vibrations • will not produce and is not susceptible to...

AIRS Cryocooler System Design and Development

JPL’s Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument is based on a cryogenically cooled infrared spectrometer that uses a pair of pulse tube cryocoolers operating at 55 K to cool the HgCdTe focal plane to 58 K; the instrument also includes cryoradiators at 150 K and 190 K to cool the overall optical bench to 150 K. The cryocooler system design is a key part of the instrument development and foc...

Cryogenic cooling with cryocooler on a rotating system.

We developed a system that continuously maintains a cryocooler for long periods on a rotating table. A cryostat that holds the cryocooler is set on the table. A compressor is located on the ground and supplies high-purity (>99.999%) and high-pressure (1.7 MPa) helium gas and electricity to the cryocooler. The operation of the cryocooler and other instruments requires the development of interfac...

CFD analysis of a single stage pulse tube cryocooler with two double inlet valves

The internal working processes in pulse tube cryocooler (PTC) are quite complex due to the unsteady, oscillating compressible gas flow in the pulse tube. Although considerable theoretical studies have been carried out as of date phenomena occurring in a pulse tube cryocooler are still to be understood. The present research work is carried out in order to understand the cooling mechanism and to ...

Low-noise Cryocooler-cooled Compact SQUID-NDE System for Carbon-Fiber Composites

A low-noise and compact SQUID-NDE system cooled by a cryocooler has been developed for practical NDE of carbon-fiber composites. In order to suppress the magnetic noise due to a cryocooler, a planar high-Tc SQUID gradiometer, coaxial pulse tube cryocooler, and SQUID stage separated from the cold head of the cryocooler were introduced. There was no increase of magnetic flux noise due to the cryo...
