A Computer Generated Hologram (CGH) is used as an aberration corrector in construction optics to record Holographic Optics Elements (HOE's) with preaberrated wavefronts. In the system described, the CGH provides enough asphericity to record the required HOE, so that other lenses in the construction optics can be selected by paraxial considerations alone. The design process of the recording system is described and a comparison is made between the measured and expected performance of the final lens.

A new gimbal-based, FUR camera for several types of airborne platforms has been developed. The FUR is based on a PtSi on silicon technology: developed for high volume and minimum cost. The gimbal scans an area of 360° in azimuth and an elevation range of +15 to -105°. It is stabilized to 25 pRad-rms. A combination of uniformity correction, defect substitution, and compact optics results in a long range, low cost FUR for all low-speed airborne platforms.
