Design of an advanced I.R. catadioptric optical system.

摘要

This thesis explains and develops the design of a compact 3-5{dollar}mu{dollar}m catadioptric optical imaging system. This system is intended for use with a two-dimensional array detector that replaces the need for the scan mirrors of a traditional FLIR system.; This design also illustrates the complete optical design process. From the basic system requirements, to a complete design with consideration to such items as assembly and alignment, cost, and maintaining focus for a change in the environmental temperature.
