[63.08] Mid-infrared Camera for the Keck Interferometer Nuller

M. J. Creech-Eakman (Caltech-JPL), E. Serabyn (JPL)

We present a brief overview of the design and capabilities of the mid-infrared camera that sits behind the interferometric nuller at the Keck Interferometer. Camera functions include aperture definition, spatial and spectral filtering, polarization and dispersion of the incoming beams. The dewar, being built by IR Labs, utilizes liquid cryogens to cool the custom Boeing HF16 array used in the camera. We acknowledge support of the instrumentation for the Keck Interferometer through NASA.
