The future of optical design is multispectral imaging. Advancements in detector
technology have led to the challenge of imaging over both short wave infrared
and long wave infrared spectrums. This paper discusses the technical hurdles
associated with designing a refractor to image over both of these
spectrums, such as minimizing
chromatic focal shift while maximizing contrast. The design process is outlined
on an eight element , 23° full field of view solution.
Optomechanical design forms are
evaluated by analyzing possible
stresses and tolerance errors. Antireflection coating designs are
discussed to complete the full
system. This entire design process is highlighted as a feasibility study for the
future of multispectral imaging devices.
