MULTI-WAVELENGTH BEAM SPLITTING SYSTEMS FOR SIMULTANEOUS IMAGING OF A DISTANT OBJECT IN TWO OR MORE SPECTRAL CHANNELS USING A SINGLE CAMERA

摘要

An optical imaging system and related methods are provided that acquire images of an object at a distance in different spectral regions using only one camera. The systems and methods are adaptable to applications where information (simultaneous or sequential) from more than one spectral region is of interest while only one camera is available or entailed.
