Abstract

The invention discloses an electric control zooming plane lens which comprises a first electric control zooming liquid crystal lens, a second electric control zooming liquid crystal lens and a super lens with a fixed focal length which are cascaded. In a state of not applying an electric field, the arrangement direction of molecules in the first liquid crystal layer of the first liquid crystal lens is parallel to the overall mirror surface direction of the first liquid crystal lens, the arrangement direction of the molecules in the second liquid crystal layer of the second liquid crystal lensis parallel to the overall mirror surface direction of the second liquid crystal lens, and the arrangement directions of the molecules in the first liquid crystal layer and the molecules in the secondliquid crystal layer are perpendicular to each other. The electric field is applied to the first liquid crystal layer and the second liquid crystal layer respectively, and the molecular arrangement state of the first liquid crystal layer and the second liquid crystal layer is adjusted by adjusting the electric field intensity. The plane lens is the super lens with a fixed focal length. The planarlens group has an electric control zooming function and is insensitive to polarization based on the combination of the liquid crystal lens and the super lens which are arranged in a cascaded manner,a high-quality imaging effect is achieved and the practical application of the planar lens technology is promoted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of lens technology, in particular to an electronically controlled zoom plane lens. Background technique [0002] Optical imaging systems are playing an increasingly important role in modern people's daily life and industrial applications, and lenses are an indispensable component, which realizes imaging of targets based on the dispersion or convergence of light. Small and integratable, no mechanical moving parts, and fast zooming features, the planar lens has important application value in simplifying the structure of the optical system, reducing weight, enhancing stability, and improving the level of system intelligence. Some planar lenses that have been developed so far, such as binary optical planar lenses, Fresnel liquid crystal lenses, and hyperplane lenses based on metamaterials, have bottleneck problems such as fixed focal lengths and serious dispersion problems, and there is still a large gap from practical ap...
