What kinds of scientific instruments does HPD build?
Since 1993 HPD has built a wide variety of custom scientific instruments . HPD builds one-of-a-kind scientific instruments and prototypes , and provides high-quality small volume manufacturing . Our expertise is in precision mechanical scientific instruments integrated with optics, electronics, cryogenics and vacuum & UHV.
The following is a limited sampling of some of the scientific instruments HPD has designed and built:
Example of a mechanical scientific instrument:
• The LIGO ETF Technology Demonstrator is a 2-meter-wide device with a two-stage, six-degree-of-freedom active vibration isolation platform, built to suspend up to 600kg of instrument payload isolated from ground vibrations.
Examples of optical scientific instruments:
• The 5-Axis Optic Lens Mount is built to position and precisely adjust a collimating lens in close proximity to a laser diode mounted inside the vacuum space of a dewar.
• The prototype of a Vander Lugt correlator was built to explore a commercially viable approach to high speed optical pattern recognition
• The QC Mini Mount provides precision focus adjustment and cryogenic sinking for superconducting Quantum Cascade laser diodes in a vacuum environment.
Examples of electro-mechanical scientific instruments:
• PLC controlled machines designed and built to automate the process of assembling miniature liquid crystal displays.
• The COBRA Mount allows testing of high frequency integrated circuits for the semi-conductor development industry.
• The Airkit is a transportable, battery operated, weather resistant system designed to sample clean, unpolluted air from locations around the world.
Example of a cryogenic scientific instrument:
• The Dilution Refrigerator (DR) Cryostat a device designed and built to provide a 10º mK envelope for quantum computer experimentation.
Example of a scientific instrument using vacuum technology:
• The Reference Cavity and Chamber is a thermally isolated and controlled vacuum chamber that mounts an optical reference cavity.
Other scientific instruments
• The CP-525 Cryoprobe is the interface between a Josephson array voltage chip and its microwave and bias electronics systems.
• The Model 126 Heliodon accurately demonstrates the motion of the sun relative to a building for the purpose of designing solar responsive architecture.
