Description
Interest in electronic systems operating at cryogenic temperature, known as cold electronics, is growing rapidly. Cryocoolers are already used for cooling infra-red (IR) detectors in night vision and missile guidance systems. Although they are used primarily by the military, there is a significant and growing civil market for thermal imaging IR systems for such purposes as fire detection and thermographic scanning in medical screening for cancer. This volume provides a detailed explanation of the miniature refrigerators which are capable of achieving cryogenic temperatures. Although the text is aimed primarily at cryogenic engineers, it will also be of interest to design engineers and scientists.
