Multi-FOV Optical System for Infrared Staring Focal Plane Array

The infrared optical system is the important part of infrared system, which can determine the working mode and working precision, and also can influence the working range of system. The multi-FOV optical system, which can be used in different field of view on the same object acquisition, identification, tracking and targeting, has obtained the widespread application in military field. The structural form of optical system has the effect on the infrared system imaging quality, performanee, size, cost, and complexity. Therefore, the research and selection for an appropriate multi-FOV optical system structure form are very important. Structural features of multi-FOV infrared optical system for infrared focal plane array, such as rotate-zoom, optically compensated zoom, mechanically compensated zoom, hybrid-zoom, and the zoom of dual optical path are analyzed. Advantages and limitations are compared. This work has theoretical guidance and significance for the optical designer to select the structure of multi-FOV infrared optical system.
