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: An athermal and achromatic lens with a high resolution while further being near orthoscopic and providing a large field of view. Further, the provided VNIR lens may utilize only three types of optical glass allowing the lens to be reduced in size, cost, and weight while further reducing or minimizing the complexity thereof.
