Abstract
Imaging multiple wavebands through a common aperture with transmissive optics brings new challenges for the optical system designer. Very few commonly available lens materials operate in both the visible and midwave infrared leading to complex lenses with many elements to correct for chromatic aberrations. NRL is developing new materials to fill that gap. These new materials enable greater flexibility for designers of lenses for advanced defense applications and potentially reduce the size, weight and cost of next-generation optics. This paper will discuss optical and physical properties of the new materials, progress in their development and the advantages of using NRL materials in transmissive optics designs for multiband applications.
