Abstract: A wide-angle optical system (2, 40) having an objective (4, 42) and a mirror system, including a curved mirror (6, 46) for projecting a wide-angle image through the objective (4, 42) onto a detector (10, 44). At least one mirror (8, 46) of the mirror system is arranged movably relative to the objective (4, 42). It is possible to achieve a zoom function, a large elevation range and a selection of an enlarged section from the wide-angle image.

Abstract: In a compact laser measuring device with a high level of transmission power the problem arises of the laser detector being dazzled by unwanted stray light. To resoive that problem there is provided a module (2) for a laser measuring device (4) which includes a laser source (6, 36), a transmission light guide (8, 38a-d) optically connected to the laser source (6, 36), a laser detector (10), a reception light guide (12) optically connected to the laser detector (10), a transmission reception light guide (16, 42a-d, 54) and a coupling element (14, 40a-d) which optically connects the transmission reception light guide (16, 42a-d, 54) to the laser source (6, 36) and the laser detector (10), wherein the transmission reception light guide (16, 42a-d, 54) is operatively connected to a light amplifier element (22).

Abstract: An imaging device (2) for the stabilized imaging of an object onto a detector (14) with a first optical unit (4) and a second optical unit (6) and an optical element that is arranged between the optical units (4, 6) and can be moved for the purpose of stabilizing the imaging on the detector (14). For image stabilization in order to compensate for an undesirable wobbling movement of the imaging over the detector (14), the optical element is constituted of a micro-optical lens array (10).

Abstract: The invention concerns apparatus (2) for producing a representation of an object scene, including a detector arrangement (12) with a plurality of detector units (20, 22) and an optical unit (4, 8) for producing the image of the object scene on the detector arrangement (12). To produce a high information content from representations of the object scene the apparatus (2) includes a filter unit (16, 26, 32, 72) arranged in an imaging beam path, with a first radiation filter raster with a first filter property and at least one second radiation filter raster with a second filter property different from the first filter property, wherein the radiation filter rasters penetrate each other, and a motion unit (100) for stepwise movement of an image of the radiation filter rasters relative to the detector arrangement (12).

Abstract: The invention concerns a camera system (2, 40, 50) comprising a sensor (12, 58) and a first optical system which includes a convex mirror (4, 42) and through which the image of a solid angle region (14) can be produced on the sensor (12, 58) by way of a first beam path (18). In order, in addition to producing an image of a large solid angle region (14), to permit scanning or detailed representation of a smaller partial region (20, 66, 82) of the solid angle region (14), it is proposed that the camera system (2, 40, 50) includes a second optical system through which a partial region (20, 66, 82) of the solid angle region (14) can be detected by way of a second beam path (34, 60) on a detail sensor (68), wherein the detail region (20, 66, 82) can be selected by an optical element (28) which is movable relative to the sensors (12, 58, 68).
