Abstract: An imaging telescope including a first mirror configured to receive electromagnetic radiation having a first polarization state and to reflect electromagnetic radiation having a second polarization state, the first mirror including a multi-layer dielectric (MLD) coating configured to convert the first polarization state to the second polarization state, and a plurality of reflecting configured to receive the electromagnetic radiation having the second polarization state reflected from the first mirror and to reflect and focus the electromagnetic radiation having the second polarization state onto an image plane of the imaging telescope.

Abstract: Polarized pixelated filter sub-array is reconfigured to reduce sensitivity to misalignment. The condition number increases more slowly than the standard polarized pixelated filter sub-array as the misalignment increases. In different embodiments, the filter sub-array is configured such that the condition number has a finite bound at ½ pixel misalignment. The angular values of the polarizer filter array are determined to minimize the sensitivity of the condition number of the data reduction matrix to misalignment. This can be achieved by selecting angular values that minimize the expected value of the condition number E(CN) over the range of misalignment.

Abstract: Optical position encoding mechanisms and methods for use in reimaged optical imaging systems. In one example, a reimaged optical imaging system includes an imaging detector, an optical component, and at least one light source coupled to the optical component and configured to be reimaged onto the imaging detector, wherein a position of an image of the at least one light source at the imaging detector encodes a position of the optical component relative to the imaging detector.
