Multispectral IR Optics and GRIN

摘要

New moldable, infrared (IR) transmitting glasses from NRL and graded index (GRIN) optical materials enablesimultaneous imaging across multiple wavebands including SWIR, MWIR and LWIR and offer potential for both weightsavings and increased performance in optical sensors. Lens designs show the potential for significant SWaP reductionbenefits and improved performance using NRL materials and IR-GRIN lens elements in multiband sensors.
