Abstract: An apparatus has a rangefinder portion that includes: a radiation generator which emits radiation having a selected wavelength; a radiation detector which detects radiation having the selected wavelength; and an optical portion which includes a non-reciprocal optical part. The optical portion routes radiation emitted by the radiation generator at the selected wavelength through the non-reciprocal optical part and then through an aperture toward a location remote from the apparatus, and also routes radiation received via the aperture at the selected wavelength through the non-reciprocal optical part and then to the radiation detector.

Abstract: An apparatus includes first and second portions. The first portion has optics which cause first radiation within a selected waveband to travel along a path of travel and to have a selected field of view. The second portion introduces second radiation within the selected waveband into the field of view, without any significant degradation of a transmission efficiency of the first radiation along the path of travel. The second radiation then travels with the first radiation along the path of travel.
