In this paper, we provide a detailed description of a bifocal panoramic lens (BPL), which allows recording a 360°x100° field and, simultaneously, a 20° circular field at a higher resolution. The BPL optical design has been specifically optimized for space environment operations. Furthermore, we describe the results of the tolerance and ghost analyses conducted on the camera, highlighting the challenges arising when dealing with such a wide-field objective due to entrance pupil aberrations and distortions.

Abstract

In this paper, we provide a detailed description of a bifocal panoramic lens (BPL), which allows recording a 360°x100° field and, simultaneously, a 20° circular field at a higher resolution. The BPL optical design has been specifically optimized for space environment operations. Furthermore, we describe the results of the tolerance and ghost analyses conducted on the camera, highlighting the challenges arising when dealing with such a wide-field objective due to entrance pupil aberrations and distortions.
