Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a testing device, in particular to a device for batch testing infrared detectors, belonging to the field of photoelectric technology. Background Art

[0002] Before an infrared detector is officially put into use, it needs to undergo multiple performance tests. During these tests, the infrared detector is usually installed in a test dewar that is easy to disassemble, and then the test dewar is connected to the test system for performance testing or inspection.

[0003] Currently, to simultaneously meet the experimental requirements of various environments in the scientific research phase, building an infrared detector test system only requires a driver circuit board, test leads, and a test computer. The test principle is as follows: a test chamber, in which the infrared detector to be tested is installed, is connected to the driver circuit board via test leads. The driver circuit board generates a DC voltage signal and a high-frequency timing signal that enable the infrared detector to operate normally. These signals are then transmitted to the infrared detector to be tested in the test chamber via the test leads. If the infrared detector to be tested is normal, a corresponding response signal is generated. These response signals are then transmitted to the driver circuit board via the test leads. The driver circuit board filters, amplifies, and splices these response signals, and then outputs them to an external test computer, thereby presenting an intuitive detection image on the test computer. At the same time, the test computer also performs performance analysis on these obtained response signals, ultimately obtaining the test results of the infrared detector to be tested.

[0004] While the aforementioned test system boasts a simple structure and ease of disassembly, as infrared detectors transition from the research phase to mass production, the surge in production makes it impossible for traditional single-detector test systems to meet the demands of mass testing. Therefore, improvements to existing technology are necessary. Summary of the Invention
