Abstract
A light-gathering system consisting of four mirrors with a large field of view has been developed. Two mirrors can be combined into one unit (double mirror). The design parameters of the system have been calculated and the problem on protection of the image plane from the foreign light has been considered. The objective proposed can be used in infrared imaging as well as in photometric and optical devices operating in the infrared region of the spectrum.
