Pulse-bias Mosaic Test Data And Subassembly Configuratior

Two-dimensional x-y addressed mosaic arrays consisting of more than 12,000 lead-sulfide detectors in a package measuring 1/4 x 3/4 inch have been successfully developed and tested by the Aerojet ElectroSystems Company. The pulse-bias modulation concept, design, fabrication methods, test techniques, and test results for individual modules (192 x 64 detectors) are presented. The successful assembly of four of the individual modules into a subassembly consisting of approximately 50,000 detectors is described. The requirements for testing to achieve a greater throughput rate are discussed.
