Scientific paper

Several optical configurations to be employed for ATPing targets to be interrogated by NBPs are considered. The ATP optical configurations are examined parametrically in two categories. Each category consists of UV and IR configurations. The category I optical configurations have a 20X magnification and possess an aperture-size scanning mirror in front of the power optics, reducing the FOV for the power optics. Category II has an 8-deg-diameter FOV with 10X magnification. The ATP optics discussed serve as beam-extender transmitters for laser beams and/or as astronomical or Galilean telescope receivers for UV and IR signals from the source. Focus is placed on a UV catadioptric configuration consisting of a Cassegrain focuser and a refractive collimator, self-contained afocal configurations, and an off-axis three-mirror focuser with a collimator.
