Abstract
Inordertoreducetheinfluenceofopticalwindowonimagingqualityinaerialremotesensor,theopticalwindowwasoptimizedinglassthickness.Theminimumthicknessofopticalwindowglasswascalculatedwithstrengththeory.Theconvectionheattransfercoefficientonoutersurfaceofopticalwindowglasswascalculatedwiththetheoryoflongitudinallysweepingplanmural.Basedonthethermalopticalanalysis,transientstatetemperaturefieldwasemulated,andtheopticalpathinpeaktovalleyvalue(PV)androotmeansquare(RMS)errorwerecalculatedunderthethermal-forcecouplingcondition. Thicknessoftheopticalwindow(290mm140mm)wasdeterminedas17mm.TheresultofpracticalapplicationshowsthattheMTFis0.304whenthecharacteristicsfrequencyis60lp/mmandthestableanddistinctimageisobtained.Thestudyresultshowsthatthermal/structural/opticalintegrateddesignforopticalwindowisachievedsuccessfully,anditprovidesareferencefortheopticalwindowdesign.
