Optical design of the Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) of INTEGRAL

The Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) will observe the optical emission from the main targets of the gamma-ray instruments onboard the ESA mission INTEGRAL. The OMC is based on a refractive optics with an aperture of 50 mm focused onto a large format CCD ($1024 \times 2048$ pixels), and a field of vie...

Zusammenfassung:The Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) will observe the optical emission from the main targets of the gamma-ray instruments onboard the ESA mission INTEGRAL. The OMC is based on a refractive optics with an aperture of 50 mm focused onto a large format CCD ($1024 \times 2048$ pixels), and a field of view of $5\degr\times5\degr$. This paper describes the design of the optical system and the optical baffles of the OMC.
