Example Embodiment

[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] Such as figure 1 As shown, the present invention is a visible light and short-wave infrared dual-band common aperture telephoto optical system. The optical system includes a common mirror group A, a beam splitter B, a visible light mirror group C, and a short-wave infrared mirror group D. The common mirror group A and beam splitting prism B are arranged from left to right along the incident light path. Beam splitting prism B divides the emitted light from the common lens group A into two paths on the right side and upper side. The two paths of light on the right side and the top side respectively pass through the visible light mirror group C and The shortwave infrared lens group D performs simultaneous imaging, the common lens group A, the beam splitter B, and the visible light lens group C form a visible light optical path, and the visible light detector receives imaging; the common lens group A, the beam splitter prism B, and the shortwave infrared lens group D forms a short-wave infrared light path, which is imaged by a short-wave infrared detector. By imaging the target's visible light band and short-wave infrared band simultaneously, the light energy utilization rate is improved, and the system's target detection ability is enhanced; and the dual-band shared optical path adopts a reflective optical path structure, which eliminates chromatic aberration, especially the secondary spectrum for the telephoto system The influence of this helps to improve the imaging quality of the optical system and effectively reduces the length of the system.
[0022] In this embodiment, the visible light optical path and the short-wave infrared optical path have the same relative aperture and focal length, which realizes simultaneous imaging of visible light (0.4-0.9 μm) and short-wave infrared (0.9-1.7 μm) dual-band, which improves the light energy Utilization rate.

[0028] In this embodiment, the reflector D1 is a plane reflector, and the included angle with the optical axis of the system is 45°, which deflects the shortwave infrared light path and reduces the size of the entire system.
