Electromagnetic radiation system

A system for collecting electromagnetic radiation generated from a moving source, the system comprising:

• a first plurality of static optical elements arranged in substantially parallel columns forming an elongated optical array having an elongated axis being substantially perpendicular to the substantially parallel columns, each of the first plurality of static optical elements having a respective focal axis thereof and a selected orientation of the focal axis with respect to the elongated axis, the selected orientation being dependent on a location of a corresponding one of the first plurality of static optical elements along the elongated axis and being associated with a certain angle of arrival of the electromagnetic radiation from the moving source, the corresponding one of the first plurality of static optical elements being configured for receiving the electromagnetic radiation from the moving source and concentrating or collimating the received electromagnetic radiation onto a respective different focal region located thereunder;
• and
• a pair of reflectors having inner surfaces facing each other and configured to concentrate the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the moving source onto a focal plane in which the elongated optical array resides, and to reflect at least some of the concentrated electromagnetic radiation onto an area of the focal plane including at least one optical element associated with the angle of radiation arrival from the moving source, to thereby provide a substantially uniform radiation collection pattern through the motion of the source.
