BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development of photoelectric technology, the demand for high-resolution, high-contrast imaging and long-distance high-sensitivity detection of the initial segment key process in the target range measurement task is becoming more and more urgent.

[0108] The visible light system is a secondary imaging system, which is composed of the main reflector 1, the secondary reflector spectral splitting element 2, the first fold mirror 3 and the correction lens group to form a primary imaging system. The primary imaging system images a target on a primary image plane, and then the target is imaged on the target surface of a detector through a visible light continuous zoom lens group, so that the focal length of the visible light system is continuously zoomed from 1500mm to 3000mm.
