Folded optical system for radiation detection device
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6085509
A folded modular optical system is described for use in radiation detection devices for directing radiation from a plurality of fields of view onto a radiation-sensitive detector. The system consists of an elongated rectangularly-shaped spherical reflector, and a multifaceted reflective element having planar reflectors, each of the planar reflectors being arranged to reflect radiation from a discretely different field of view onto a different portion of the spherical reflector. Each of the portions has a dimension measured in a direction parallel to the longer dimension of the spherical reflector, which is only a fraction of the longer dimension.
