Abstract

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*θ+(1−c)*sin(θ)) 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 θrelative to an optical axis of the first lens assembly. fis a focal length of the first lens assembly, and −0.5<c<2.
