A catadioptric one-to-one optical relay system which is telecentric in both object and image space. The system includes three modules, which include a spherical primary mirror, a spherical secondary mirror with a zero power doublet for axial color correction, and an X-prism for spectral division. The chromatic aberration generated by the X-prism is compensated by the zero power doublet corrector. Because the system is telecentric in both object and image space, the coatings associated with the X-prism are simplified. The system can be used in telescopes, optical systems with sensor protection, and color CCD assemblies. IMAGE
