Zusammenfassung: | A low magnification mode of operation of a multiple field of view optical system is based on off-axis reflective afocal assemblies with a common optical exit pupil and having a common mechanical axis of rotation which provides both field of view switching and image de-roll functions. A reflective afocal switching assembly permits variable fields of view while at the same time providing a common axis and mechanism to achieve an optical de-roll of the image. This complex arrangement provides a relatively large change in magnification for an all-reflective optical system than can image over 0.4-12.0 micron spectrum. |
