Abstract
The problem of registration and recognition of thermal (3–15 µm) or ultraviolet (0.15–0.25 µm) objects in their surrounding area (0.8–1.1 µm) is solved by using two-channel two-spectrum optical systems. In order to implement innovative single-channel dual-spectrum emission image detectors, implemented in the image intensifier tube's architecture that make it possible to link the images of a thermal or ultraviolet object to an image of a terrain, it is necessary to develop a unified optical-mechanical system. In this paper, an approach for the development of a unified optical system for single-channel dual-spectrum emission image detectors of the image intensifier tube's architecture is proposed and theoretically studied. The proposed optical system makes it possible to form images of objects emitting in the thermal or ultraviolet range in relation to the image of the surrounding area. The choice of the base material, barium fluoride (BaF2), and geometry is based on a significant dispersion of the refractive index of the lens material. When performing calculations of the optical system, Newton's method and the Python language (SciPy library) were used. The optimal values of the thickness of the lenses and the input window of the image intensifier tube, the distance between them, and the radii of curvature of the lens surfaces are calculated. The calculation results can be used in the practical work on the creation of single-channel dual-spectrum emission receivers for images of the image intensifier tube architecture for the images of thermal and ultraviolet objects in relation to images of their surroundings.
