Abstract
Cryocoolers are needed in modern high-performance infrared cameras to establish and maintain the cryogenic temperature of infrared focal plane arrays. Attollo has a number of cryocooler development efforts ranging from low SWaP linear microcoolers for HOT MWIR sensors to high lift, high reliability coolers for 80K operation. In the case of cryocoolers designed for HOT MWIR applications, Attollo is also developing low-cost designs to address the attritable platform market. Attollo will present an overview of these design programs and data on the performance of initial units.
