Abstract
An infrared detector assembly (12) of the type used in munitions and night vision systems having an improved focal plane platform (10) construction. In accordance with this invention, the thermally conductive focal plane platform (10) supports a detector array (26) and integrated readout chips (28). The focal plane platform (10) includes relatively thermally non-conductive inserts (38) disposed in cavities (36) positioned generally below each integrated read out chip (28). The inserts insulate the chips (28) during cryogenic cooling of detector array (26). Freeze-out of the chips (28) is thereby inhibited.
