Kaleidoscope-based multi-view infrared system
Abstract:
Multi-view snapshot systems are used for a wide range of applications in all the spectral ranges. In this Letter, we present the study and the realization of an optical system using a kaleidoscope in the long wavelength infrared (LWIR), compatible with uncooled infrared detectors such as microbolometers. The optical system has a high numerical aperture and a wide field of view, and it uses a single focal plane array. Here, we establish the advantages of this technology on other design strategies and its design rules for every subset of the optical architecture, and we present the results of a first demonstrator.

Transmittance is defined as the ratio of the radiant power passing through a sample to that from the radiation's source. Multiplying the transmittance by 100 gives the percent transmittance (%T), which varies between 100% (no absorption) and 0%...
