In general, it is difficult to determine analytically the transmission coefficient as a function of wavelength for a given lens system. But by taking advantage of the symmetry of the three-element corrector cell system of the Baker-Nunn satellite tracking camera, an expression for the transmission coefficient is derived for optimum conditions of the glass. This is done by determining the fractional absorption loss, as a function of wavelength, due to each glass element, and then assuming the transmission coefficient at any given wavelength to be that fractional part of the light that is transmitted by the three elements as a system at that wavelength. Results show the transmission curve to be essentially flat at approximately 97% transmission from 5000 to 7000 Å. The absence of response short of 3000 Å is of no consequence owing to the onset of the atmospheric ozone absorption.
