Abstract: A panoramic Mid-Wavelength Infrared (MWIR) lens has a plurality of optical elements, wherein each optical element from the plurality of elements is formed from a material that transmits in at least the MWIR band from 3 μm to 5 μm. The plurality of optical element are arranged in a manner that provides a 360 degree azimuth angle and an elevation angle that is within +/−20° from a 90° horizon. The panoramic MWIR lens is configured to be connected to a cooled Dewar, wherein the Dewar includes a cold shield and an image plane to detect light in the MWIR band transmitted through the plurality of optical elements.

Abstract: A Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) objective lens having an F # of 2.64 and a 33.6° angular field of view. It is deployed, with a focal plane and scanning system, on an airborne platform for remote sensing applications. Focal length is 9 inches, and the image is formed on a focal plane constituting CCD or CMOS with micro lenses. The lens has, from object to image, three optical element groups with a cold shield/aperture stop. Group 1 has a positive optical power and three optical elements; Group 2 has a positive optical power and four optical elements; Group 3 has a positive optical power and three optical elements. The objective lens is made of two Germanium and Silicon. The lens is both apochromatic and orthoscopic, and corrected for monochromatic and chromatic aberrations over 3.3 to 5.1 micrometers.

Abstract: A compact orthoscopic lens is corrected for monochromatic and chromatic aberrations over wavelengths from 450 to 2450 nm with an angular FOV of 5.56° vertical and 66° horizontal. The 4.36″ effective focal length lens with f-number of 4 is compact measuring 5.2″ from the first optical surface to the image. The lens includes, in order from object to image, a first optical group having a negative optical power; a second optical group having a positive optical power and a third optical group having a negative optical power. The first optical group consists of two elements, the second optical group consists of three elements, one a doublet, and the third optical group consists of two elements. A physical aperture stop is positioned inside the second optical group. Powers of groups and elements, shapes, refractive indices, Abbe numbers and partial dispersions of glasses are selected so the lens is apochromatic and orthoscopic.
