Abstract
The possibility of achieving superior optical characteristics and passive athermalization in dual-band IR objectives of a simple design is shown. This is ensured, in particular, by using refractive lenses made of chalcogenide glasses in the optical scheme. Recommendations regarding the layout of the optical scheme and obtaining initial design parameters for the subsequent optimization are given. The reliability and effectiveness of the recommendations are confirmed by the results of designing a super-aperture refractive-lens objective operating in the mid- and long-IR subranges and forming a high-quality polychromatic image on the matrix of an uncooled microbolometer in the operating temperature range from – 40°C to + 60°C.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
