    Attenuation of cryocooler induced vibration using multimodal tuned dynamic absorbers

    Modern infrared imagers often rely on split Stirling linear cryocoolers comprising compressor and expander, the relative position of which is governed by the optical design and packaging constraints. A force couple generated by imbalanced reciprocation of moving components inside both compressor and expander result in cryocooler induced vibration comprising angular and translational tonal components manifesting itself in the form of line of sight jitter and dynamic defocusing.  Since linear cryocooler is usually driven at a fixed and precisely adjustable frequency, a tuned dynamic absorber is a well suited tool for vibration control. It is traditionally made in the form of...
