A multi-sensor camera system includes a first optical sensor having a focus mechanism. The focus of the first optical sensor is adjusted using the focus mechanism. The multi-sensor camera system also includes a second optical sensor mounted inside the focus mechanism of the first optical sensor. The radial distance between optical axes of the first and second optical sensors is not limited by the focus mechanism.

Parallax reduction for multi-sensor camera systems

An apparatus includes a detector that measures radiation. The apparatus also includes a window that is relationally coupled to the detector and a shield, so that the window is in between the detector and the shield. The apparatus further includes the shield that emits substantially constant radiation, and substantially blocks radiation from a camera housing at least partially surrounding the shield, so that the detector measures radiation passing through an optical system and the shield.

Integrated radiation shield and radiation stop

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a springless athermal lens assembly. In one embodiment, a spacer of a springless athermal lens assembly may compensate for defocus of the camera system due to thermal expansion of the lens assembly through the coupling of a spacer to an inner barrel and an outer barrel. The inner barrel comprises a lens cell assembly and a body. The outer barrel comprises a body. The spacer comprises a body having an inner surface and an outer surface. The outer surface of the spacer body is configured to be physically coupled to outer barrel body and the inner surface of the spacer body is configured to be physically coupled to the inner barrel body. A retainer ring is configured to engage with the outer surface of the spacer body and provide a radial force against the outer surface of the spacer body to securably engage the inner surface of the spacer body with the inner barrel body.

Springless athermal lens design with flexured spacer

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a springless athermal lens assembly. In one embodiment, a spacer of a springless athermal lens assembly may compensate for defocus of the camera system due to thermal expansion of the lens assembly through micro wedge mechanisms coupling the spacer to an inner and outer barrel. The inner barrel comprises a lens cell assembly and a body having a micro wedge slot. The outer barrel comprises a body having a micro wedge slot. The spacer comprises an inner barrel micro wedge and an outer barrel micro wedge. The spacer is configured to be physically coupled to the inner barrel through engagement of the inner barrel micro wedge and the inner barrel micro wedge slot. Further, the spacer is configured to be physically coupled to the outer barrel through the engagement of the outer barrel micro wedge and the outer barrel micro wedge slot.
