Zusammenfassung:This invention relates to optical systems and in particular to an athermalised dual field-of-view objective optical system capable of operating in the 3-5 micron thermal infra-red waveband and which is light in weight. A dual field-of-view objective system () which is inexpensive, has high transmission and is essentially achromatized and athermalized. The system () uses a silicon front lens A and all lens elements have positive temperature/refractive index change coefficient.
