摘要:
An imaging optics (36) has a plurality of mirrors (M1 to M6), which image an object field (4) in an object plane (5) in an image field (8) in an image plane (9). A first mirror (M1) is arranged in the imaging beam path of imaging light after the object field (4) and a last mirror (M6) is arranged in the imaging beam path before the image field (8). In the unfolded imaging beam path, an impingement point of a chief ray (16), which belongs to a central object field point, on a useful face (23) of each of the mirrors (M1 to M6), which is configured to guide the imaging light (3), has a mirror spacing (Z M ) from the image plane (9). The mirror spacing (Z M1 ) of the first mirror (Ml) is greater than the mirror spacing (Z M6 ) of the last mirror (M6). The mirror spacing (z M3 ) of a fourth to last mirror (M3) is greater than the mirror spacing (z M1 ) of the first mirror (M1). In a further aspect of the invention, a reflection surface of at least one of the mirrors (M1 to M6) of the imaging optics (36) is configured as a static free form surface which cannot be described by a rotationally symmetrical function. This differs from an aspherical surface best adapted thereto, which can be described by a rotationally symmetrical function in that a normal (FNB) to a free form surface element (20) of a used region (23) of the free form surface, which is configured to guide the imaging light (3), adopts an angle (α) of a maximum of 70 μrad with a normal (FN) to a corresponding asphere surface element (22) of the aspherical surface (21). With the two aspects, a handleable combination of small imaging errors, manageable production and good throuhput for the imaging light results.
摘要:
Various embodiments provide a flat field Schmidt-type telescope including a spherical primary mirror, an aspheric correcting plate spaced apart from the primary mirror, a detector disposed between the primary mirror and the corrector plate, and a field lens disposed between the primary mirror and the detector. The field lens is configured to reshape a curved field plane formed by the primary mirror into a flat field plane. A material of the field lens is selected to transmit in the infrared wavelength range (e.g., SWIR and/or MWIR) and is selected to have a desired refractive index so as to achieve a field of view (FOV) of the telescope greater than approximately 10 degrees.

The present invention provides a lens system and/or a method of imaging onto an imaging detector. The lens system and method are used in focusing substantially parallel incident light onto the said detector. The lens system comprises: (a) a concentric spherical Cassegrain-like system of two mirrors; (b) a concentric spherical focal reducer; (c) a transfer lens system which combines the concentricity of the Cassegrain-like system of two mirrors and of the contrentric spherical focal reducer by imaging the first centre of concentricity that is of the system of two mirrors onto the second centre of cencentricity, that is, of the focal reducer to thereby provide a single optically cencentric system which combines their advantages. Also present in the system are: (d) means to correct the sum of the spherical aberation of all the spherical mirros in the entire system and (e) an aperture stop.
