Dewar and Packaging

Using its extensive experience SCD's Mechanics R&D group designs and develops a full spectrum of Dewars and packages for its cooled and uncooled detector and laser diode product lines. These packages meet SCD customers' stringent requirements and can operate in sever environmental conditions. Conceiving unique approaches and applying the latest packaging technologies ensure a stable and manufactureable design together with endurance to harsh thermal, vibrational, and shock conditions. SCD's cooled detector Dewar variety includes the novel solution of built-in cryogenically cooled lenses for specific high end defense applications.

In order to achieve these demands, SCD makes use of advanced design and analysis software tools such as Finite Element Analysis, Stray Light Analysis, as well as in-house developed simulation tools.

Sophisticated assembly and wire bonding techniques, automatic and semi-automatic equipment and technology, allow precise packaging of SCD's detectors and laser diodes devices, ensuring electrical connectivity from the ROIC all the way to the system , while maintaining superior electro-optical performance.
