To address the demand for detection of point/dim targets in complex environments
an infrared dual-band dual-field of view (FOV) imaging early warning system was designed. To improve the target detection capability and environmental adaptability
the system used high-order aspheric surfaces to reduce the number of system lenses and improve the system transmittance. At the same time
it corrects on-axis/off-axis aberrations and advanced aberrations to improve the imaging quality of the system. An optical passive compensation method was adopted to realize an athermalized design in the range of -40 ℃ to 60 ℃. A rotating electromagnet was used as the driving element to complete the zooming in process in a duration of 80 ms to ensure that the target is not lost during the FOV switching process. Using the electric limit
mechanical limit
and magnetic locking mechanism as limit components
the stabilization accuracy of the optical axis wobble is less than two pixels.The design results show that the optical-mechanical structure of the infrared imaging early warning system is reasonable and compact
the imaging quality is good
and it meets the requirements of target detection.The system has potential application prospects in the field of infrared imaging in early warning systems.
