Abstract
A sensor assembly (,) includes first and second focusing mirrors (,) which direct converging radiation to a tilted beam splitter (,) through an opening (,) provided in the first mirror. The beam splitter passes selected infrared radiation, which then passes through a lens system (,) to an infrared detector (,). The beam splitter reflects other radiation, which then passes through a different lens system (,) to a second beam splitter (,). The second beam splitter passes laser light, which travels through a lens (,) to a laser light detector (,). The second beam splitter reflects near-infrared radiation, so that it travels to a further detector (,).
