Summary

The pulse-tube cryocoolers (PTCs) are promising candidates for SQUIDs cooling because of the increased reliability and reduced vibrations. But the electromagnetic interference and eddy currents originated from the metallic-made components of PTCs are still enormous obstacles for practical applications. The paper first analyses the main sources of interference signals of a PTC system, and finds solutions to minimize and/or eliminate them. Then a non-metallic and non-magnetic miniature PTC (NNMPTC) for the low-noise cooling of high-Tc SQUIDs was designed and fabricated. The cryogen-free operation of high-Tc SQUIDs by the NNMPTC is currently underway.
