Abstract
New, moldable IR glasses from NRL and Graded index (GRIN) optics enable simultaneous imaging across multiple wavebands including SWIR/MWIR/LWIR and offer potential for both weight savings and increased performance. Optical properties databases compatible with Zemax and CodeV will be presented and made available for users. Lens designs show the potential for significant SWaP reduction benefits and improved performance using NRL materials and IR-GRIN lens elements in multiband sensors. The SWaP and performance advantages of these materials will be presented.
