Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an astronomical optical telescope optical system, in particular to a large-aperture wide-spectrum coaxial bidirectional layout telescope optical system. Background Art

[0002] The visible light imaging system receives the electromagnetic waves in the visible light band emitted or reflected by the observed target for optical imaging. It can observe the details of the object and detect and identify the target. However, since the visible light optical system has high requirements for light, once the light intensity becomes low, it is difficult to detect and identify the target. For objects in a non-illuminated environment, we can only rely on infrared imaging technology. The imaging quality of infrared imaging technology is not greatly affected by the lighting environment and weather conditions, but the imaging of the target by infrared imaging technology is not detailed and accurate enough, which is different from people's visual habits. To some extent, it cannot detect and identify the target. With the development of science and technology, in order to detect targets with higher resolution and more accurate detection, a wide-spectrum optical system has been developed. The wide-spectrum optical system can detect the target of the measured object in multiple bands such as visible light and infrared light, which is not available in a single-band optical system. It can obtain accurate and detailed target features in the visible light and infrared light bands. At the same time, the target exhibits different optical characteristics in different bands, which can realize wide-spectrum and high-resolution real-time detection and identification of the target, which is of great significance to both military and civilian fields.
