    摘要: A beam-steering apparatus includes a set of planar tiltable mirrors positioned to define a light beam path therebetween. The set of planar tiltable mirrors may incldue from three to five planar tiltable mirrors. Each of the planar tiltable mirrors has a center of rotation lying in a plane of the mirror and each of the planar tiltable mirrors is tiltable about one axis of rotation or two orthogonal axes of rotation that lie in the plane of the mirror. The total number of axes of rotation about which the planar tiltable mirrors of the set of planar tiltable mirrors can tilt is at least five. A mirror drive system tilts each respective planar mirror about its respective axis of rotation or axes of rotation. With this apparatus, an input or output light beam path is steerable over two angular, one rotational, and two lateral-position degrees of freedom.

    摘要: An imaging device (20) includes a refractive imager (26) lying in an optical path (22), and optionally a telescope that directs the optical path (22) to the refractive imager (26). The refractive imager (26) includes a first lens group (40) that forms an intermediate image ( 42) of a scene on the optical path ( 22), wherein the first lens group (40) includes a first-lens-group positive-power lens (44), and a first-lens-group negative-power lens (46). A second lens group (48) relays the intermediate image (42) to a final image surface (50) on the optical path (22), wherein the second lens group (48) includes a second-lens-group positive-power lens (54), and a second-lens-group negative-power lens (52). A third lens group (56) may be selectively inserted into the optical path (22) between the first lens group (40) and the second lens group (48) and selectively removed from the optical path (22). The third lens group (56) includes a third-lens-group positive-power lens (58), and a third-lens-group negative-power lens (60).

    摘要: An all-reflective optical system (20) includes an entrance aperture (22), an exit aperture (24), and a dichroic beam splitter assembly (32). The dichroic beam splitter assembly (32) includes an entrance dichroic beam splitter (34) and an exit dichroic beam splitter (36). The reflected portion of the beam from the entrance dichroic beam splitter (34) passes to a first beam processing array (38) having an odd number of powered mirrors. The transmitted portion of the beam from the entrance dichroic beam splitter (34) passes to a second beam processing array (40) having an odd number of flat mirrors. The second beam processing array (40) and the first beam processing array (38) are circumferentially angularly displaced by about 90 degrees of rotation about an optical reference axis (26). The dichroic beam splitter assembly (32), the first beam processing array (38), and the second beam processing array (40) together comprise a single optical unit rotatable about the optical reference axis (26), and a bearing set (64) is provided to accomplish the rotation.

    摘要: An optical sensor assembly in which a four axis gimbal and dual coelostat mirror configuration provide pointing of the sensor line of sight in azimuth and elevation, stabilized for platform pitch. One example of a sensor system includes a first optical sub-system including a first plurality of optical elements, and a second optical sub-system configured to rotate about a first axis relative to the first optical sub-system. The second optical sub-system includes afocal foreoptics configured to direct a collimated beam of electromagnetic radiation to the first optical sub-system, a first coelostat minor configured to rotate about a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis, and a second coelostat mirror configured to rotate about a third axis substantially perpendicular to both the first axis and the second axis, and to receive electromagnetic radiation reflected by the first coelostat minor and to direct the electromagnetic radiation to the afocal foreoptics.
