Selected Articles.

Abstract

What this article discusses are optical systems. They are optical antennas developed for ship borne fire control laser range finders. The antennas in question have already been mounted and are in practical use. They possess the two functions of laser reception as well as observation and aiming. In the article, the operating principles and parameter determination of the combined optical systems in question are introduced. Discussion is made of dual wave band spectral methods associated with reception and aiming and the handling of image aberrations. Design results are given.
