ABSTRACT:
A system includes an optical system having a curved window with anamorphic symmetry about a first plane and a second plane perpendicular to the first plane. The window may be, for example, in a flight vehicle such as a missile. An optical corrector is adjacent to a curved inner surface of the window and has an optical corrector shape responsive to a shape of the window. The optical corrector has anamorphic symmetry about the first plane and the second plane. A sensor is disposed to receive an optical ray passing sequentially through the window and the optical corrector.
