Catadioptric optics for staring array detector system

摘要

A FLIR staring array detector system for imaging an object scene. The system includes catadioptric optics for providing a full format image of the object scene. The catadioptric optics include reflective objective optics for providing an intermediate image of the object scene and refractive relay optics for providing the full format image. The system further includes a staring detector for receiving the full format image. The system has a cold stop efficiency approaching, or equal to, unity. <IMAGE>
