Riedl M.J. Optical Design Fundamentals for Infrared Systems

Second Edition, The Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers SPIE, 2001, 182 pages, ISBN: 0819440515 9780819440518Tutorial Texts Series. Tutorial Texts in Optical Engineering, Volume TT48This tutorial is intended to provide a basic approach to the optical design of infrared systems. It is written for systems engineers whose expertise is outside the field of optics. The material presented can be applied directly to the initial optical system layout phase to evaluate trade-offs of various configurations. It will also be very helpful in conveying requirements and expectations to an experienced lens designer.Radiometric Considerations
