The present invention relates to optical devices for imaging and spectroscopic applications where optical field curvature is a predominant characteristic. In particular, the invention relates to imaging optics and an optical device for mapping a curved image field. The optical device for mapping a curved image field comprises a focal plane array 20 having a plurality of light processing elements 21 and a focal plane adapter 110 mounted in front of the focal plane array 20 configured to transmit the curved image field to the light processing elements 21 of the focal plane array 20. The focal plane adapter 110 comprises a plurality of waveguides 111 wherein first ends of the waveguides 111 facing the incident curved image field are arranged on a curved surface 12, the curved surface 12 being adapted to a profile of an optical field curvature of the curved image field so that the plurality of waveguides 111 divide the curved image field along a curved focal plane of the image field into a plurality of image segments. The second ends of the waveguides 111 are allocated to the light processing elements 21 to map the plurality of image segments onto the allocated light processing elements 21. |
