Optical systems including lens assemblies and methods of imaging fields of view using such optical systems are disclosed. An optical system for imaging a two dimensional field includes a first lens assembly, a first scanning mirror, a second lens assembly, and a two dimensional image sensor. The first lens assembly has a first transform function whose output is within 0.1% of f*(c*&#x3b8;+(1&#x2212;c)*sin(&#x3b8;)) for any ray of light that traverses the first lens assembly from a center of an entrance pupil of the first lens assembly at an angle &#x3b8;relative to an optical axis of the first lens assembly. fis a focal length of the first lens assembly, and &#x2212;0.5&#x3c;c&#x3c;2.

Optical systems including lens assemblies and methods of imaging fields of view using such optical systems

A laser pulse stretching unit is described herein which has one or more nested optical delay paths. In addition, a method for using the laser pulse stretching unit is also described herein.
