ABSTRACT:
Optical device rotational about an axis XX', and making use of a set of detectors suitably arranged to detect the presence of a target in a determined solid angle, of the type which includes in longitudinal section in a plane P in which lies the axis XX', a window including a front point A and a rear point B, which admits radiation coming from an axis H intersecting axis XX' at a point 0 and forming with it an angle .THETA. of less than 90.degree., the opening angle 2.tau. of the window being represented by the two straight lines 0'A and 0"B, each forming the angle .tau. with the axis H, characterized by the fact that it includes two mirrors M1, M2 and a converging lens, the mirror M1 being represented in the section of plane P by the arc of a parabola P.sub.m1 with its focus at a point F located in front of point 0, and having as its axis of symmetry an axis D1 parallel to H and passing through F, the mirror M2 being represented in the section of plane P by the arc of a parabola P.sub.m2 with its focus at the point F and having as its axis of symmetry an axis .delta. passing through F and forming with the axis XX' a small angle .alpha.; finally, the lens, having its optical center on the axis XX' approximately at the intersection of the parabola P.sub.m1 with this axis.
