Large-Aperture Wide-Angle Infrared Scanning System

Abstract

This final report covers a study performed at the University of Arizona concerning large-aperture, wide-angle infrared scanning systems. Both image-plane and object-plane scanning systems were investigated. Two configurations were developed in considerable detail and were shown to present feasible solutions to the specified problem. Laboratory models of these two scanning systems have been constructed to demonstrate the principles involved.
