Optimized Relay Lens Design For High-Resolution Image Transmission In Military Target Detection Systems

Abstract: The design and performance analysis of relay lenses that provide high-performance image transmission for target acquisition and tracking in military optical systems. Relay lenses are critical components for clear and lossless image transmission over long distances. In this study, the optical performance of a relay lens system designed and optimized using ZEMAX software is investigated in detail. The analysis focuses on important optical properties such as modulation transfer function (MTF), spot diagrams, Seidel diagram, field curvature and distortion. The results show that the lens has significant potential in military applications for target detection and tracking with high resolution and low aberration. Accepted: 1. Introduction Military optical systems provide high-performance and reliable monitoring for target identification and tracking in critical missions. These systems have become indispensable in modern warfare, where the ability to process and analyze real-time visual data can determine the success or failure of operations. By combining advanced optical technologies with robust design methodologies, military systems aim to deliver precise and effective solutions for a variety of applications. In this context, optical components must ensure exceptional image clarity, resolution, and durability to withstand challenging operational environments.
