[0106] Figure 1 The figure shows the optical path diagram of the visible light continuous zoom telephoto 3000mm optical system. Figure 2The figure shows the optical path diagram of the visible light continuous zoom short-focus 1500mm optical system. The visible light continuous zoom system has an aperture of 400mm, a system focal length of 1500mm to 3000mm continuous zoom, a relative aperture of 1 / 3.75 to 1 / 7.5, and a field of view of 0.42° to 0.84°.

[0107] Figure 3 The figure shows the optical path of the long-wave infrared focal length 800mm optical system. The focal length of the long-wave infrared system is 800mm, the relative aperture is 1 / 2, and the field of view is 0.44°. The visible light system and the long-wave infrared system share the main reflector 1 and the spectral beam splitter 2. A special spectral beam splitter film is plated on the surface of the spectral beam splitter 2 to divide the optical path into two paths: the visible light continuous zoom system optical path and the long-wave infrared system optical path.

[0108] The visible light system is a secondary imaging system, which is composed of a primary imaging system consisting of a primary reflector 1, a secondary reflector spectral beam splitter 2, a first folding mirror 3, and a correction mirror group. The primary imaging system images the target on the primary image plane, and then images the target on the target surface of the detector through a visible light continuous zoom lens group, realizing a visible light system focal length of 1500mm to 3000mm continuous zoom, wherein the primary imaging system is composed of a primary reflector 1, a secondary reflector (spectral beam splitter 2), a first folding mirror 3, and a correction mirror group, the primary image focal length is 3220mm, the relative aperture is 1 / 8.05, and the field of view is 0.84°; the focal length of the visible light continuous zoom lens group is: 100mm to 200mm, the image side numerical aperture NA is: 0.14 to 0.064, and the image side paraxial image height is 11mm.

[0109] In addition, the aperture stop of the visible light continuous zoom optical system of the present invention is arranged after the compensation lens group and is conjugate with the main reflector 1; in the visible light continuous zoom optical system, the primary image system and the first lens of the visible light continuous zoom lens group constitute an afocal telephoto system with a magnification of 14.8 times. There is a parallel optical path behind the first lens 8 of the visible light continuous zoom lens group, and an attenuation plate can also be arranged here to realize the optical dimming function.

[0110] The long-wave infrared system is also a secondary imaging system, which is composed of a primary imaging system consisting of a main reflector 1, a spectral splitter element 2, a third folding mirror 20, and a fourth folding mirror 21. The primary imaging system images the target on a primary image plane, which is then deflected by the fifth folding mirror 22 and incident on the long-wave infrared projection mirror group, and finally imaged on the target surface of the long-wave infrared detector.

[0111] Figure 4 Shown is the compensation detection optical path diagram of the long-wave infrared projection mirror group.

[0112] Figure 5 Shown is the MTF curve of the optical system with a spatial frequency of 50lp / mm and a visible light continuous zoom telephoto of 3000mm. Figure 6Shown is the MTF curve of the optical system with a spatial frequency of 50lp / mm and a visible light continuous zoom short focus of 1500mm. Figure 7 Shown is the MTF curve of the optical system with a spatial frequency of 33lp / mm and a long-wave infrared focal length of 800mm. Figure 8 The figure shows the MTF curve of the optical system with a spatial frequency of 33lp / mm and a long-wave infrared compensation detection optical path. Figures 5 to 8 It can be seen that at the corresponding spatial frequency, the MTF of each subsystem is close to the diffraction limit and has high imaging quality, meeting the system's requirements for high-resolution and high-contrast imaging of the target.
