This invention proposes a mid / long-
wavelength composite co-aperture cooled
infrared athermal optical
system, belonging to the field of
optical imaging technology. It addresses the problem of mid / long-
wavelength composite, co-aperture, and athermal design in a cooled
infrared imaging detection
system. It includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, an eighth lens, a ninth lens, a tenth lens, an eleventh lens, and a twelfth lens, along with a
detector protective glass, a cold aperture, and an
image plane, all coaxially arranged in the direction of
light propagation. It primarily receives the inherent
infrared radiation from the target and background and converges it onto the photosensitive surface of the mid / long-
wavelength composite cooled
infrared detector. Through
photoelectric conversion, the optical
signal is converted into an electrical
signal, achieving mid / long-wavelength composite dual-band detection. This enables reliable detection, identification, and location of targets with weak infrared signatures and high concealment, facilitating precise strikes.
