The invention relates to a visible light / short-wave
infrared dual-band common-
caliber optical
system, which comprises a common-
caliber part, a plane
beam splitter, a visible light channel subsystem and a short-wave
infrared channel subsystem, and is characterized in that the common-
caliber part is positioned at the foremost end of the optical
system and consists of a primary reflector and a secondary reflector which are coaxially arranged; the plane
beam splitter is located on a light path behind the secondary reflector, full-wave-band light from an object side is reflected by the primary reflector and the secondary reflector in sequence, then reaches the plane
beam splitter to be split, and then enters the visible light channel subsystem and the short-wave
infrared channel subsystem to be imaged in different wave bands, and the optical
system achieves dual-wave-band common caliber. According to the invention, the design of long
focal length and
large aperture of the dual-band system is realized, the target detection / identification capability of the system is improved, the system has the advantages of
high spatial resolution, long operating distance and high identification probability, meanwhile, the
system structure is effectively simplified, the system volume is reduced, the installation and adjustment difficulty is reduced, and a relatively low obscuration ratio and relatively high
imaging quality are realized.
