The concept of a prospective ultraviolet spectrometer for airborne and satellite surveillance is presented. Two integrated systems including front lens and spectrometer optics are developed. The coordinated front lens and collimator configurations have significant advantages over conventional schemes.
A concept of an improved ultraviolet video spectrometer designed for installation onboard aircraft and satellite is proposed. An instrumental design of a two-component system containing input optics (projecting lens) and spectrometer optics (polychromator) is presented. It is shown that the concentric arrangement of the entrance and collimator lenses has a number of significant advantages over traditional optical schematic solutions.
