Zoom Lenses For Infra-Red Applications
Abstract
The modern opto-electronic systems require infra-red zoom lenses for different uses. According to these uses, zoom lenses offer advantages with regard to bifocal lenses. This paper points out those advantages for five applications in the infra-red field which are: - thermal imagery - simulation - guiding on laser beam - tracking and ecartometry - coherent active imagery.
