Binocular with integrated laser rangefinder

A binocular with an integrated laser rangefinder comprising:

• a first tube comprising a first observation channel, a display configured to display an illuminated reticle, a first optical system including a first Schmidt-Pechan prism reversion system, a laser transmitter, and an integration display prism,
• wherein the first Schmidt-Pechan prism reversion system comprises a first at least half-pentagonal prism, and a first Schmidt roof prism,
• wherein the first at least half-pentagonal prism comprises a first separation layer,
• wherein the laser transmitter is configured to transmit a laser beam toward an observed object such that the laser beam is reflected off of a splitter and transmitted to the observed object parallel to the first observation channel and independently of the first Schmidt-Pechan prism reversion system,
• wherein the display is configured to produce a light beam, wherein the first Schmidt-Pechan prism reversion system and integration display prism are configured to direct the light beam produced by the display into the first observation channel after the light beam passes through the integration prism and passes through the first separation layer;
• and
• a second tube comprising a second observation channel, a separation prism, a detector optical system, an infrared detector, and a second optical system including a second Schmidt-Pechan prism reversion system,
• wherein the second Schmidt-Pechan prism reversion system comprises a second at least half-pentagonal prism, a second Schmidt roof prism,
• wherein the second at least half-pentagonal prism comprises a second separation layer,
• wherein the separation prism comprises a first reflective surface,
• wherein the separation prism is bonded to the second separation layer,
• wherein the second Schmidt-Pechan prism reversion system, the separation prism, and the detector optical system are configured such that the laser beam is configured to integrate into the detector optical system after being reflected off the observed object and entering the second observation channel and passing through the second separation layer and passing through the separation prism.
