Abstract

An angle filter for restricting the range of light received by a detector functions as a "cold shield" in an infrared optical system. The angle filter either utilizes fiber optics or a thin film technology and reduces the size of an optical system operating in the infrared region while maintaining high system performance. The cold shield/exit pupil configuration of a traditional optical system is replaced by the angle filter.
