Abstract: A mid-wave infrared (MWIR) discrete zoom lens for use with remote surveillance and identification having a dual focal length of 9 and 6.39 inches and F #2.8 and F #2, respectively. In one case, a full field of view is about 30.8 degrees for a 9 inch focal length configuration and about 43 degrees for a 6.39 inch focal length configuration. The lens is corrected for monochromatic and chromatic aberrations over the wavelength range 5100 nm-3300 nm. The focal plane may constitute a pixel array consisting of MWIR sensitive material (e.g. InSb, HgCdTe, nBn, SLS, etc.) for use in high-resolution, wide-area imaging applications.

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: An F-theta lens provides more than 88 degrees FFOV, F #2.8 or less, length not more than 200 mm, and/or 2.5 μm or better resolution, with color correction from 450 nm to 650 nm. The lens includes three optical groups having positive, negative, and positive optical powers respectively, which can include four, four, and six elements, respectively. Embodiments include an aperture stop in the center of the second optical group. Refractive indices and ray heights are selected to correct for field curvature. Embodiments further include a CMOS detector having pixel pitch of 1.25 microns or less, density of 18 megapixels or more, focal plane diameter of 57.2 mm or more, Nyquist sampling of 400 lines per mm or more and wide pixel field of view of 30° or more. A plurality of CMOS detectors can be arrayed to create a mosaic image.

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.
