Summary:A wide angle MWIR F-theta lens with an F# of 2. The lens is deployed on airborne platforms for remote sensing applications. The lens is corrected for monochromatic and chromatic aberrations over the wavelength range 5000 nm-3300 nm. The image of the remote target is formed on a focal plane which may constitute CCD or CMOS with micro lenses. The lens comprises four groups of optical elements with a cold shield/aperture stop located behind the last group. One embodiment of the lens includes five types of optical materials and while another embodiment of the lens includes only two types of optical materials.
