    摘要: A system and a method of designing and mechanical packaging of a fully integrated multifunctional multispectral miniaturized sigh assembly (10) to allow its use on hand-held man-portable units. All the subsystems of the compact sight assembly, namely, a direct view day subsystem, a CCD-based visible TV subsystem, a staring IR night subsystem, an eyesafe laser rangefinding subsystem and a display subsystem for viewing the output of the TV or IR subsystem, are aligned and use a single telescope (12) and eyepiece (42) in order to decrease the size of the assembly. In addition, each sight assembly subsystem operates in a first and a second field of view, preferably in a narrow field of view and a wide field of view, with wavelengths from 0.45 mu m to 12 mu m, thereby creating a very small but highly powerful sight assembly.

    摘要: A five-mirror all-reflective afocal anastigmat. In one example, a five mirror afocal anastigmat includes five mirrors arranged to sequentially reflect from one another electromagnetic radiation received via a system entrance pupil to produce a collimated output beam of the electromagnetic radiation at a system exit pupil, the five mirrors consisting of three positive-powered mirrors and two negative-powered mirrors, wherein optical powers of the five mirrors are balanced to achieve a flat field condition at the system exit pupil.
