Paper Abstract
Lately the short-wave infrared (SWIR) has become very important due to the recent appearance on the market of
the small detectors with a large focal plane array. Military applications for SWIR cameras include handheld and
airborne systems with long range detection requirements, but where volume and weight restrictions must be
considered. In this paper we present three different designs of telephoto objectives that have been designed
according to three different methods. Firstly the conventional method where the starting point of the design is an
existing design. Secondly we will face design starting from the design of an aplanatic system. And finally the
simultaneous multiple surfaces (SMS) method, where the starting point is the input wavefronts that we choose.
The designs are compared in terms of optical performance, volume, weight and manufacturability. Because the
objectives have been designed for the SWIR waveband, the color correction has important implications in the
choice of glass that will be discussed in detail.
