Embodiment Construction

[0020] The present invention combines the passive athermalization design method and the zoom optical design method. The passive athermalization design method is a design method that eliminates the influence of temperature and realizes athermalization by relying only on the imaging principle of optics itself and the matching of thermal characteristics of optical materials and mechanical structure materials without adding any focusing mechanism. The zoom optical design method is to realize the complete compensation of the image plane through the non-correlated movement between the zoom lens group and the compensation lens group in the optical system. When the focal length is changed, the imaging quality of the optical system remains unchanged.

[0021] The passive athermalization design method adopted in the present invention does not add any focusing mechanism, and only relies on the optical self-imaging principle and the matching of thermal characteristics of optical materials ...

Abstract

The invention provides an athermal visible light zoom lens. The lens comprises a balsaming lens group I, a lens I, a balsaming lens group II, a balsaming lens group III, a lens II and a lens III in sequence, wherein the balsaming lens groups and the lenses are connected by an aluminium alloy lens cone. The zoom lens has the following beneficial effects: by adopting passive athermal design and zoom optical design and reasonably matching the materials, radii, distance and thickness parameters of the lenses, the focal length of the lens can vary between 20mm and 80mm and the lens can realize passive athermalization in the temperature range from minus 40 DEG C to 60 DEG C, thus dispensing with the temperature measuring and focusing mechanisms and improving the system reliability; and besides, by adopting passive athermal design and zoom design technology and reasonably matching the materials, radii, distance and thickness parameters of the lenses, the aberrations such as spherical aberration, coma, astigmatism, curvature of field, chromatic aberration and distortion are reduced and the optical transfer function of the lens is improved, so that the lens can carry out zoom imaging on the sceneries in the temperature range from minus 40 DEG C to 60 DEG C. The lens is used for shooting visible light sceneries remotely.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a visible light zoom imaging optical system, in particular to an athermalized visible light zoom lens, which belongs to the technical field of optical system design. Background technique [0002] The refractive index value of the optical material changes with the change of the ambient temperature, and the material of the lens barrel will also expand with heat and contract with the change of temperature. When the ambient temperature changes greatly, such as in the temperature range of 100°C, the image plane of the optical lens will be defocused, and the imaging detector will not be able to obtain an image that meets the requirements. Zoom optical lens means that when the focal length of the optical lens changes within a certain range, the focal plane position of the lens remains unchanged and the image remains clear during the zooming process. If you want to broaden the operating temperature range of the visible light zoom lens...
