Near to mid infrared astronomical optics with self-achromatic lenses

摘要

Astronomical observatories all over the world are updating their existing and future telescopes by implementing instruments with infrared array detectors. This work is concerned with the design of optics for near and mid (1 to S nm) infrared astronomy, and in particular with its achromatization, which is often neglected. Several achromatized optical systems suitable for astronomical instrumentation are described.
