Abstract

Two new types of pulse tube refrigerators with optimized cooling power of 6 W at 77 K have been designed and fabricated. Experiments show that vibration of the pulse tube refrigerators is at least an order of magnitude smaller than that of Stirling coolers. Two microwave devices, a HTS cavity and a HTS miniature lumped band-stop filter, were integrated with the refrigerators and operated successfully, which demonstrated the potential application of these integrated devices and the refrigerator as practical HTS sub-systems.
