Abstract

See full text

A catadioptric telephoto lens system which: receives incident light rays in a parallel path of both catoptrics and dioptrics, where some of the incident light rays go through a reflective path involving mirrors/reflective surfaces and others of the incident light rays go through a refractive path involving lenses; or receives incident light rays in a serial path of catoptrics and dioptrics, where all the incident light rays initially go through a reflective path involving mirrors/reflective surfaces and then go through a refractive path involving lenses. The system eliminates the black pupil/iris blur disadvantages associated with conventional telescopic lens systems and may be provided in a very compact form.
