The two-lens telephoto struc- ture is adopted by merely using aluminum alloy as the housing material. By balancing the thermo-optical coefficient and thermal expansion coefficient of materials, an athermalized IR seeker with effective focal length of 90 mm and F number of 1.2 is achieved. The whole optical length is 75 ram, and the weight is only 234 g. The objective can remain fine imaging quality under temperature range from -40 ℃ to 60 ℃, which is beneficial to the lightweight design oflR seekers.展开更多
