Abstract: A Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) objective and relay lens system has an F# of 3.33 and angular field of view of 15.28°. It is deployed, with a focal plane and scanning system, on airborne platforms for wide area motion imagery. It is corrected for monochromatic and chromatic aberrations over of 3.3 to 5.1 micrometers. Effective focal length is 20 inches, and the overall length is 40.70 inches. The lens has, from object to image, two groups of optical elements with a cold shield/aperture stop 6 inches from the image plane. Group 1 acts as an objective lens with a positive power and three elements, Group 2 acts as a relay lens has a positive power and four elements. The lens is made of Germanium and Silicon. It used in a scanning system in a pre-objective configuration where the fast scan mirror is located in front of the lens system.

Abstract: An orthoscopic, apochromatic lens is suitable for deployment such as on aerial platforms provides distortion less than 0.2% over a full field of view of more than 60° with F# less than 6.5 and focal length greater than 3″, and in embodiments greater than 5″. Embodiments are apochromatic from 500 to 950 nm to within 7 microns. Embodiments have an overall length of less than 7″. The lens includes five optical groups with an aperture stop between the second and third groups. The optical groups have one, one, two, one and one optical element each, as ordered from the object to the image plane, and have positive, negative, positive, positive, and negative optical powers, respectively. Embodiments are telephoto. In embodiments the focal length is temperature invariant within 0.0015 inches from 0° C. to 40° C.
