SBIR Detector Test Bench

High Accuracy Testing
SBIR has taken a systems level approach and applied years of IR detector testing expertise in the development of the RTB 3000. State-of-the-art radiometric and optomechanical components give unmatched accuracy and test repeatability.

Easily Reconfigurable
The RTB 3000 detector test bench achieves a high degree of versatility with a minimum number of components. To reconfigure the system, the user merely places sources and optical modules on the pre-aligned quick-change kinematic mounts, thus minimizing down time between tests. See various test setups below for more information.

Computer Interface
The RTB 3000 detector test bench is provided with all necessary interfaces to communicate with a host computer featuring IRWindows™ Test Software. Automation in controlling all blackbody temperatures, target and filter selection, spot motion and focus, modulator status, and other parameters is possible via the supplied computer interfaces.

RTB 3000 Compatibility
The RTB 3000 detector test bench is designed to easily integrate with most data acquisition systems such as Pulse Instruments’ systems. These systems supply the electrical interface to the unit under test (UUT), while the RTB 3000 supplies all necessary radiometric inputs. The powerful, easy-to-use, optional software packages for the RTB 3000 are menu driven and flexible. Hardware and software are modular and easily customized for specific UUTs or non-standard tests.

Dewar Compatibility
The optical system of the RTB 3000 can accommodate virtually all dewar assemblies. The standard bench configuration supports sidelooking dewars, and is easily modified to support downlooking dewars as well.
