Optical carrier and housing arrangement for receiving a color splitter system and several image converters

Abstract

The invention relates to an optical carrier and housing arrangement to accommodate a color-separation system as well as several image converters, in particular CCD receivers, which is based on a preferably metallic housing block with a radiation entrance opening in one of the side surfaces as well as radiation exit openings in the remaining side surfaces. In the beam path in the interior of the block attachment grooves are provided to fix in position a prefabricatable mirror/filter color-separation system that is accessible from the open cover surface of the block. Wiring-carrier modules support the bare CCD chips and a neccessary drive and evaluation electronics, such that the bare CCD chips make contact face-down above an aperture in the wiring carrier. The modules are adjusted in front of the radiation exit openings in the block and fused into position, so that an electronic correction of the laterally reversed image produced by the mirror/filter color-separation system is achieved by means of the drive and evaluation electronics.
