Optical Design And Analysis Of A Riflescope System

Today, riflescope systems are used widely, mostly by military forces. In this study, a
riflescope working in the visible range (400-700 nm) will be designed. The riflescope
will have 3 degrees field of view and maximum 15 cm total track. Total design
length is limited to 15 cm because a short riflescope is more stabilized than a long
one with respect to thermal instability and vibrational effects. Taken into account the
cost factor, only two types of glasses will be used in the design. One of them is NBK7
a crown glass and the other is N-F2 a flint glass. Moreover, Schmidt-Pechan
prism will be used to construct an erected image. The optical performance analysis of
the design is also carried out for a production ready riflescope system.
