[0054] The blackbody shift stage 3 is used to control the translation alignment of the blackbody and the distance between the blackbody and the window of the device under test. The bottom of the blackbody shift stage 3 is connected to the longitudinal guide rail 2 and the transverse guide rail 1 from top to bottom. Limit switches are provided on the transverse guide rail 1 and the longitudinal guide rail 2 of the blackbody shift stage 3; the transverse and longitudinal limit switches of the blackbody shift stage 3 can ensure the safety of the test process to avoid damage to the device under test 7. Among them, the transverse guide rail 1 includes a transverse guide rail frame 101, in which a transverse threaded rod 103 driven by a motor 102 is rotatably connected. A threaded sleeve 104 is threadedly connected to the transverse threaded rod 103, and the longitudinal guide rail 2 is fixedly connected to the threaded sleeve 104. The motor 102 drives the transverse threaded rod 103 to rotate forward or reverse, so that the threaded sleeve 104 threadedly connected to the transverse threaded rod 103 moves left or right along the transverse threaded rod 103. The threaded sleeve 104 drives the longitudinal guide rail 2 and the blackbody shift stage 3 to move synchronously to the left or right, thereby realizing the adjustment of the distance from the blackbody to the window of the device under test. The longitudinal guide rail 2 includes a longitudinal guide rail frame 201, in which a longitudinal threaded rod 202 driven by a motor 203 is rotatably connected. A threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the longitudinal threaded rod 202, and the blackbody shifting platform 3 is fixedly connected to the threaded sleeve. The motor 203 drives the longitudinal threaded rod 202 to rotate forward or reverse, so that the threaded sleeve threadedly connected to the longitudinal threaded rod 202 moves forward or backward along the longitudinal threaded rod 202, and the threaded sleeve drives the blackbody shifting platform 3 to move forward or backward synchronously, thereby realizing the translational alignment of the blackbody.
[0055] The device under test 7 is mounted on a device under test assembly console.
[0056] The device under test assembly console, the device under test 7 is manually installed in the middle position of the device under test assembly console, the neck adapter plate and the refrigerator drive adapter plate are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the device under test 7 in the device under test assembly console, and the neck adapter plate and the refrigerator drive adapter plate are assembled and connected with the device under test 7 through shift alignment. The specific shift alignment structure is as follows: the device under test assembly console is located at the front and rear sides of the device under test 7 and are rotatably installed with screws, both screws are arranged along the front and rear directions, and the two screws are driven by electric motors respectively. Threaded sleeves are respectively threaded on the two screws, and the two threaded sleeves are respectively fixedly connected to the neck adapter plate and the refrigerator drive adapter plate, and the screw is driven to rotate by the motor. The rotation of the screw causes the neck adapter plate and the refrigerator drive adapter plate to rotate toward each other and be assembled and connected with the device under test 7.
[0057] The universal adapter plate 10 is connected to each electrical pin of the refrigerated infrared detector. The universal adapter plate 10 includes two symmetrically arranged front and rear pieces. The opposite sides of the two universal adapter plates 10 are symmetrically provided with detector electrical pin plug-in holes 9. The bottom of the two universal adapter plates 10 is provided with left and right horizontal slide rails 8. The front and rear sides inside the left and right horizontal slide rails 8 are respectively rotatably connected with forward and backward threaded rods driven by a motor. The outer sides of the two forward and backward threaded rods are respectively fitted with forward and backward movable sleeves 12 threadedly connected thereto. The tops of the two forward and backward movable sleeves 12 are respectively fixedly connected with vertical slide rails 11. The vertical slide rails 11 are rotatably connected with vertical threaded rods driven by a motor. The outer sides of the vertical threaded rods are fitted with vertical movable sleeves threaded thereto. Vertical through holes are respectively opened on the two universal adapter plates 10. The two universal adapter plates 10 slide with the two vertical slide rails 11 through the vertical through holes, and one side of the vertical movable sleeve is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the vertical through hole. The universal adapter plate 10 and the detector are assembled and disassembled automatically using the aforementioned structure. The assembly process for the universal adapter plate 10 and the detector is as follows: The detector is manually mounted and fixed to the DUT assembly console. The computer is then activated, and the computer's host computer controls the horizontal forward and backward movement of the threaded slide 702, ensuring a certain distance between the universal adapter plate 10 and the detector's electrical pins 701. The computer's host computer then controls the activation of the motor connected to the forward and backward threaded rods, rotating the rods and causing the forward and backward moving sleeve 12 to drive the universal adapter plate 10 toward the detector. Based on the height difference of the detectors, the computer's host computer controls the motor connected to the vertical threaded rod to activate, rotating the vertical threaded rod. This in turn drives the vertically movable sleeve to move the universal adapter plate 10, aligning the height of the detector electrical pin insertion holes 9 on the universal adapter plate 10 with the detector electrical pins 701. Finally, the computer controls the horizontal movement of the threaded slide 702, aligning the detector electrical pin insertion holes 9 on the universal adapter plate 10 with the detector electrical pins 701, completing the assembly of the detector and the universal adapter plate 10. The assembly process is controlled by a program set by the host computer. Furthermore, the bus connects to the power supply and bias control circuit, analog signal processing circuit, focal temperature acquisition and feedback circuit, and timing control circuit, connecting all electrical signals of the device under test to these circuits.

[0059] The analog signal processing circuit is used to collect and quantize the analog voltage signal output by the device under test in real time. Specifically, the analog voltage signal output of the device under test is conditioned and digitally quantized, and then the data is transmitted to the computer through the data transmission circuit. That is, the data transmission circuit is used to transmit the collected and quantized data of the device under test to the computer.
[0060] The focal temperature acquisition and feedback circuit monitors the focal plane temperature and status of the device under test in real time, and controls the power supply of the device under test.
[0061] The timing control circuit provides the timing and configuration for the normal operation of the device under test (detector), that is, it drives the device under test to work according to the timing requirements of the device under test configured by the computer.
[0062] The power supply system provides power to the entire test system, including real-time voltage and current monitoring.
[0063] The computer is internally installed with host control and processing software for the control and feedback of the blackbody, the control and feedback of the blackbody shift stage 3, the control and feedback of the DUT assembly console, and the processing, calculation and report output of the test data.
[0064] The present invention also provides a method for automatically testing a refrigerated infrared detector. The method is based on the above-mentioned automatic testing system for refrigerated infrared detectors and includes the following steps:
[0065] Step 1: System Power-On Self-Test: Ensure the test system is operating normally and verify that the power supply, timing, and bias voltages supplied to the device under test are normal. If the power-on self-test passes, proceed to Step 2. If the power-on self-test fails, a warning alarm sounds, and the test ends immediately, waiting for technicians to troubleshoot the problem.
[0066] Step 2: After the power-on self-test passes, the driving part of the device under test 7 in the test system is powered off.
[0067] Step 3: Detector assembly. The detector assembly process is as follows: the computer automatically sends instructions to control the assembly console of the device under test to shift and align the connection, so that the electrical lead ring of the device under test is connected to the neck adapter plate, and the refrigerator drives the adapter plate to assemble and connect with the device under test. After the connection is completed, the operation results are fed back to the computer.
[0068] Step 4: The computer automatically sends a command to the refrigerator to power on, and reads the refrigerator's operating voltage, current and the focal plane temperature of the device under test in real time, and records the time it takes for the refrigerator to power on and then reduce its frequency. The time it takes for the refrigerator to power on and then reduce its frequency is determined based on the change in current.
[0069] Step 5: Turn on the blackbody and set the high and low temperature blackbody radiation source temperatures as required, and provide real-time feedback on the blackbody problem to the computer.
[0070] Step 6: The computer controls the horizontal and vertical movement of the position of the high-temperature blackbody radiation source II6. Specifically, the computer controls the horizontal movement of the position of the high-temperature blackbody radiation source II6 so that the window of the device under test 7 is aligned with the center of the blackbody surface source of the high-temperature blackbody radiation source II6, and then moves the position of the high-temperature blackbody radiation source II6 vertically so that the window of the device under test 7 is 5 mm away from the blackbody surface source of the high-temperature blackbody radiation source II6. After moving to the specified position, the operation results are fed back to the computer.
[0071] Step 7: After the computer determines that steps 4, 5, and 6 are completed, the device under test chip is powered on and timing and bias voltage are sent.
[0072] Step 8: Within the specified GPOL bias range, the GPOL bias value and integration time are automatically set in fixed steps to collect the raw data output by the detector. After the collection is completed, the detector output corresponding to each GPOL bias value is averaged according to the specified regional range, and then the GPOL curve of each region is drawn separately. The value of the GPOL curve of each region from start to completion is calculated, and the completion values of each region are compared. The maximum completion value obtained is defined as the normal working GPOL bias value of the device under test chip. The GPOL bias diagram is shown as follows: Figure 3 shown.
[0073] Step 9: After the computer host computer sends instructions to the device under test to set the GPOL bias value and timing integration time for normal operation, the computer controls the horizontal and vertical movement of the position of the low-temperature blackbody radiation source 5. Specifically, the computer controls the horizontal movement of the low-temperature blackbody radiation source 5 so that the window of the device under test 7 is aligned with the center of the blackbody surface source of the low-temperature blackbody radiation source 5, and then moves the position of the low-temperature blackbody radiation source 5 vertically so that the window of the device under test 7 is 5 mm away from the blackbody surface source of the low-temperature blackbody radiation source 5. Feedback is then sent to the computer when the movement is completed.
[0074] Step 10: The computer collects and saves N frames of raw data output by the device under test when receiving radiation from the low-temperature blackbody radiation source 5 .
[0075] Step 11: The computer controls the horizontal and vertical movement of the position of the high-temperature blackbody radiation source I4. Specifically, the computer controls the horizontal movement of the position of the high-temperature blackbody radiation source I4 so that the window of the device under test 7 is aligned with the center of the blackbody surface source of the high-temperature blackbody radiation source I4, and then vertically moves the position of the high-temperature blackbody radiation source I4 so that the window of the device under test 7 is 5 mm away from the blackbody surface source of the high-temperature blackbody radiation source I4. The movement is completed and feedback is sent to the computer.
[0076] Step 12: The computer collects and saves N frames of raw data output by the device under test when receiving radiation from the high-temperature blackbody radiation source I4.
[0077] Step 13: The computer analyzes and calculates the two N frames of data collected in steps 10 and 12, calculates various performance indicators of the device under test, and outputs a test report of the device under test 7.
[0078] Step 14: The entire system is powered off and the test is complete.
