Invention relates to collimator lenses, operating in medium IR-range of wavelengths (for spectral range from 3 to 5 mcm) and may be used in thermal imaging collimators or in receiving thermal imaging lenses (in return flow of beams) in different devices. The collimator lens comprises three components, besides, the first component along the travel of the beams is made in the form of a mirror, facing with a bulge to the plane of objects, the second component is made in the form of a single negative meniscus lens with a hole in the centre, facing with a bulge towards the plane of objects, besides, its concave surface has a mirror inner coating and it is arranged between the first component and the plane of objects, and the third meniscus lens facing with a bulge to the image and arranged between the first component and the image, the second and third components are made of zinc selenide, and in the first component the mirror coating is applied onto the convex surface of the mirror. Besides, the radius of the spherical optical reflecting surface of the mirror of the first component by modulus is equal to the radius of the convex surface of the third component.

Paired optically variable protective element with characteristic reflected radiation wavelengths

Proposed element comprises first and second optically variable element including the first and second optically variable thin-film laminar interference devices. Note here that said the first and second optically variable thin-film laminar interference devices are located so that they can be viewed together. The band covered by second device 3rd and 4th lengths waves lies in the band covered by first device 1st and 2nd lengths waves. This allows determination of definite light incidence angle whereat peaks of k-order of reflection of said 1st and 2nd interference coincide. Said 1st and 2nd optically variable interference devices feature identical interference structures so that they display true spectral matching at said preset light incidence angle while at other angles they feature different spectra.

Mechanical q-switch (quality switch) for pulse lasers with commutator function

Mechanical q-switch (quality switch) for pulse lasers with commutator function

Mechanical Q-switch (quality switch) for pulse lasers with a commutator function is a device with an optical-mechanical unit, a power supply unit and a processor control unit and a prefabricated prism which is installed on the rotating rotor of an electric motor; the prism consists of two rectangular prisms Ap90 fixed by their hypotenuse edges at the tiled edges of the rhomb-prism with a gap between edges. The device ensures Q-factor of the pulse laser circuit at the moment of radiation in two directions due to applied semitransparent coatings at cathetus edges of the prisms Ap90 fixed at the rhomb-prism with a nontransmitting mirror included into the laser design; at the moment of radiation the laser does not generate flare to sensors receiving the echo signal from each of two potential directions, it is ensured by a rotary shutter fixed at the rotor of the electric motor, which covers the sensors at the moment of the laser radiation and passes the received echo signal to the receiving sensors due to two cuts made in its edge.

Luminance field scanning method and photooptic system for realising said method

Luminance field scanning method includes receiving radiation of an object using a photooptic system with a two-dimensional matrix receiver, converting the radiation to electrical signals, storing signals from elements of the two-dimensional matrix receiver, reading said signals and processing. When receiving radiation of the object using a photooptic system while rotating the two-dimensional matrix receiver, the image of the luminance field is rotated at the frequency and in the direction of rotation of the two-dimensional matrix receiver. The luminance field scanning method is carried out using a photooptic system which comprises series-connected objective lens, which includes an entrance window, a main mirror and a correction lens mounted on the beam path, a two-dimensional matrix receiver mounted in the focal plane of the objective lens and a unit for processing signals from the two-dimensional matrix receiver. A prism with a rotary drive is mounted in the objective lens between the main mirror and the correction lens, wherein the output of the rotary drive is connected to the second input of the prism. A unit for shifting the signal to half the frequency of the two-dimensional matrix receiver is connected between an additional sensor for the rotational angle of the two-dimensional matrix receiver and the rotary drive.
