The invention discloses an
infrared continuous zooming optical
system based on composite zooming and having an ultra-large
zoom ratio. The
infrared continuous zooming optical
system sequentially comprises a continuous zooming group and a secondary zooming group from an object space to an image space along an
optical axis direction; the continuous zooming group sequentially comprises a main objective lens group, a secondary objective lens group, a primary zooming group, a compensation group and a fixed group from an object side to an image side along the
optical axis direction; the secondary zooming group sequentially comprises a first rear group lens, a second rear group lens and a third rear group lens from the object side to the image side along the
optical axis direction; when the primary zooming group is farthest from the compensation group, the optical
system is in a short focus state; when the primary zooming group is closest to the compensation group, the optical system is in along focus state; the
light beam from the object side is converged between the fixed group and the first rear group lens through the continuous zooming group; and the first rear group lens, the secondrear group lens and the third rear group lens are used for finally imaging an image formed by the continuous zooming group on the
target surface of the
detector. The ultra-large
zoom ratio continuouszooming compact
miniaturization design is adopted, the
system image quality is good, and the imaging is clear.
