High Resolution Differential Thermometer
104I
The SBIR Model 104i High Resolution Differential Thermometer provides high accuracy temperature measurement without sacrificing ease of use.Two ultra-stable iProbe temperature sensors are included allowing the instrument to simultaneously display the absolute temperature of two points and also the temperature difference between these two points. Additionally, the 104i thermometer offers four temperature ranges from -40°C to 175°C absolute.

Detector And FPA Testing
The FPA Test Set (FPATS) interface to the detectors under test (DUT’s) is via a custom pedestal plate which provides both a conductive heat path to both the individual DUT’s as well as the field of view limiting aperture plate. This custom pedestal plate protrudes through the customer provided DUT interface printed circuit board (PCB) and makes physical contact with the rear of the DUT packages and the aperture plate when the FPATS is in the closed position. The pedestal plate is mounted to the ambient source plate and its temperature is actively driven by this subsystem.

Probes And Cables
The iProbe is an intelligent temperature sensor that can be calibrated independently of SBIR’s blackbody systems or 104i precision thermometers. These ultra-stable, highly responsive iProbes are used to provide long term accuracy and repeatability of under 0.010°C. Each iProbe incorporates onboard flash memory that allows all calibration constants and calibration date information to be stored independently of the blackbody or thermometer system. This allows iProbes to be exchanged for use on a blackbody or thermometer without any loss in stability or accuracy. To re-calibrate a system you need only exchange the current iProbe with a recently calibrated one. No special equipment is required and there is no down time in the test area.

Fused Visible & IR Testing
SBIR offers a visible/NIR/I-Squared/IR target projector that features a fused visible and thermal source capability by combining a MWIR and LWIR differential blackbody source with a visible/NIR integrating source. A beam-combiner allows the thermal energy and the visible energy to be processed simultaneously on the optical centerline of the collimator.
