Janis SHI-4 series cryostats are among the most versatile systems available for laboratory sample cooling. They are equipped with interchangeable optics, and include provisions for a wide variety of electrical connectors. Tapped holes on the vacuum shroud and a sturdy mounting flange provide for convenient mounting in any orientation.

UPDATE!Janis Research recently redesigned the Model SHI-4-1 0.1 Watt @ 4.2 K closed cycle refrigerator. In the previous design for the SHI-4-1, the customer had to remove the entire vacuum shroud and entire radiation shield to gain access to the sample. This required turning the entire SHI-4-1 on its side or upside-down to change the sample. After listening to customer feedback, Janis Research designed the SHI-4-1 window block to be removable and the radiation shield is demountable in the sample area. This is a significant improvement because the cryostat does not need to be turned on its side or upside down. The mounting stand can remain bolted to the table while the window block and radiation shield bottom are removed for sample change. The customer will not have to realign any optics or beam paths since the cryostat does not have to be moved for the sample change.

Drawing shows dimensions for the 0.5 W model. Other models are also available.

These cryostats are designed for measurements to 325 K, and optional configurations permit operation to 500 K or 800 K (with special thermometry).

Optimized for experiments requiring optical access to the sample, these systems include the following components:

  • Optical vacuum shroud and radiation shield
  • Four o-ring sealed quartz windows
  • Gold-plated OFHC copper sample holder
  • 10-pin electrical feedthrough, with three spare electrical access ports
  • Evacuation valve and safety pressure relief valve
  • Silicon diode thermometer and control heater

Available options:

  • Additional electrical feedthroughs (BNC, SMA, multipin, and others)
  • Rotatable vacuum shroud
  • Rotation and positioning stages
  • Matrix isolation configuration
  • Fifth window port
  • Radiation shield windows
  • IR and other window materials
  • Custom designed vacuum shroud
  • 500 K & 800 K high temperature systems available on most models (800 K with special thermometry)
  • Non-optical configurations
  • Compact vacuum shroud (for use with electromagnets)
  • Large sample volume configurations

Standard models include:

4 K Closed Cycle Refrigerator with Two-Axis Optical Alignment
Janis Research Company is proud to announce rotation and positioning stages for our 4 K closed cycle sample in vacuum cryostat systems. Rotation about the cryostat access has ~0.5° resolution and a range of ±360° about the cryostat axis and rotation is only limited by the helium flexlines and electrical cables. Rotation off the cryostat access has a resolution of <0.2° and a full range of ±90° of motion. The system comes with four radiation shield windows and reaches a sample base temperature of ~4K. This system is ideal when fine optical alignment is required for experimental samples. Click on the photos below for a larger view. Click here to download a mechanical drawing of this system.
