Abstract:For higher detection capability, dual band/dual field of view (FOV) infrared imaging systems are often used to recognize camouflaged targets. In this Letter, we report a dual band/dual FOV infrared imaging system with freeform prism, in which the optical path is folded drastically. Each spectral band will pass through the same entrance pupil and then is split off by a beam splitter so that each spectral band can match a different FOV. Compared to traditional infrared imaging systems, the proposed system has ad… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
