In order to deduce the difficulty of fixing the Ritchey-Chretien (R-C) dual reflective optical system and enhance the stability of the secondary mirror, a compact integral structure is presented here composed of two transmitting and two reflective aspheric surfaces. The four surfaces were manufactured from a single germanium lens and integrated together. The two reflective surfaces formed by coating the inner reflecting films were assembled in one lens. It makes the installation of the two mirrors easier and the structure of the secondary mirror more stable. A design of mid-wave infrared (MWIR) compact imaging system is presented with a spectral range chosen as $3.7-4.8{\mu}m$. The effective focal length is f=90 mm. The field of view (FOV) for the lens is $4.88^{\circ}$. It has good imaging capability with Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) of all field of view more than 0.55 close to the diffraction limitation. Outdoor experiments were carried out and it is shown that the integral catadioptric optical system performs well on imaging.

RGB/NIR CMOS 센서를 사용하여 가시광에서의 정면 시야각과 가시광(RGB) 및 근적외선(near-infrared, NIR)에서의 측면 시야각을 갖는 캡슐 내시경용 개선된 반사굴절식 전방위 광학계(modified catadioptric omnidirectional optical system, MCOOS)를 설계한다. 전방 시야각 내의 영상은 반사굴절식 전방위 광학계(catadioptric omnidirectional optical system, COOS)의 부경 뒤에 배치된 3개의 추가된 렌즈와 COOS의 결상 렌즈계로 구성된 MCOOS의 전방 결상 렌즈계로 결상한다. 측면 영상은 COOS로부터 얻어진다. 이 센서에 대한 가시광과 근적외선에서의 나이퀴스트 주파수는 각각 90 lp/mm와 180 lp/mm이다. 설계 사양에서 전장길이, F-수, 전방과 측면 반화각은 각각 12 mm, 3.5, 70°, 50°-120°로 결정하였다. MCOOS의 COOS에 대한 변조전달함수 0.3에서의 공간주파수, 초점심도, 가시광과 근적외선 영역에서의 공차에 따른 누적 확률은 각각 154 lp/mm, -0.051-+0.052 mm, 99%이다. MCOOS의 정면 결상광학계의 변조전달함수 0.3에서의 공간주파수, 초점 심도, 가시광 영역에서 공차에 따른 누적 확률은 각각 170 lp/mm, -0.035-0.051 mm, 99.9%이다.

A new compact conformal dome optical system was established, and the aberration characteristics of the dome were investigated using Zernike aberration theory. The aberrations induced by the dome at different fields of regard (FORs) from 30° to 100° were effectively balanced by a rotating cylindrical lens. This kind of optical system can be widely used in top-view optical searching devices. A design method was introduced and the optimization results analyzed in detail. The results showed that the Zernike aberrations produced by the conformal dome were decreased dramatically. Also, a complete conformal optical system was designed, to further illustrate the aberration correction effect of the rotating cylindrical lens. Using a cylindrical lens not only provided a large FOR, but also simplified enormously the structure of the conformal optical system.
