[0037] In the embodiment of the present invention, a fixed-focus high-definition long-focus infrared confocal imaging optical system is provided, which can achieve high-definition imaging of a large target surface at a focal length of 35 mm with only nine lenses.

[0038] The general idea of the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0039] The first lens of the optical system is set as a positive meniscus lens, which can converge light at a larger angle into the system to achieve a large aperture and a large aperture diaphragm. The aperture stop is arranged between the third and fourth lenses, at the front end of the optical system, restricting the large-angle light converged by the positive meniscus lens and the cemented lens group in front of the aperture stop, which can effectively reduce aberration and improve clarity. A group of cemented lenses is arranged at each end of the aperture stop to achieve good chromatic aberration correction and improve infrared confocal clarity. The system is provided with three groups of cemented lenses in total, effectively reducing the total length of the system while achieving chromatic aberration correction and improving infrared clarity. The last lens uses a negative meniscus lens to diverge the light to achieve a large target surface. The optical system adopts a combination of positive, positive, negative, negative, negative, positive, negative, and positive optical powers, which can achieve a system focal length of 35 mm ± 5%, the phase surface satisfies the same image quality in the 1' full field of view, the resolution reaches 8 MP, and the aperture is 1.8.

[0040] In addition, virtual surfaces are respectively set between the first lens and the second lens, and between the sixth lens and the seventh lens as floating apertures. The former is used to limit the incident light angle, reduce stray light entry, reduce aberration and improve clarity; the latter is used to limit the light angle diverged by the sixth negative meniscus lens to avoid excessive angle and inability to converge the light later.

[0041] According to the above inventive concept, this embodiment provides a fixed-focus large-aperture short-axis high-definition imaging optical system, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, from the object surface to the image surface, it successively includes: a first meniscus lens 1, a first biconvex lens 2, a first biconcave lens 3, a second biconcave lens 4, a second biconvex lens 5, a second meniscus lens 6, a third biconvex lens 7, a third meniscus lens 8, and a fourth meniscus lens 9. Among them, the first biconvex lens 2 and the first biconcave lens 3 form a first cemented lens, the second biconcave lens 4 and the second biconvex lens 5 form a second cemented lens, and the third biconvex lens 7 and the third meniscus lens 8 form a third cemented lens. The first meniscus lens 1 and the third meniscus lens 8 are positive meniscus lenses, and the second meniscus lens 6 and the fourth meniscus lens 9 are negative meniscus lenses. The aperture stop 10 is arranged between the first biconcave lens 3 and the second biconcave lens 4. A total of three groups of cemented lenses are set, which can effectively reduce the total length of the system while achieving achromatism and improving infrared clarity. The aperture stop 10 is located at the front end of the optical system, restricting the large-angle light rays converged by the positive meniscus lens and the cemented lens group in front of the aperture stop 10, which can effectively reduce aberration and improve clarity.

[0042] In a possible implementation manner, a first virtual surface A is arranged between the first meniscus lens 1 and the first biconvex lens 2, which is used to limit the incident light angle, reduce the entry of stray light, reduce aberration and improve clarity. A second virtual surface B is arranged between the second meniscus lens 6 and the third biconvex lens 7, which is used to limit the light angle diverged by the second meniscus lens 6 to avoid the situation that the light rays cannot converge later due to too large an angle. Preferably, the floating aperture of the first virtual surface A is 0.1%-8% of the lens diameter, and the floating aperture of the second virtual surface B is 0.3%-7% of the lens diameter. At least two of the three groups of cemented lenses can be made of ultra-low dispersion glass. For example, ultra-low dispersion glass of model H-FK95N can be used, which can effectively reduce the chromatic aberration of the system and improve infrared clarity. Ideally, the virtual surface is realized by designing a single surface with almost no thickness but having a light passing aperture.

[0043] In a possible implementation manner, the optical interval between the first meniscus lens 1 and the first cemented lens ranges from 0.1 to 0.2 mm, the optical interval between the first cemented lens and the second cemented lens is 7 to 8.5 mm, the optical interval between the second cemented lens and the second meniscus lens 6 is 0.1 to 0.2 mm, the optical interval between the second meniscus lens 6 and the third cemented lens is 0.3 to 0.9 mm, and the optical interval between the third cemented lens and the fourth meniscus lens 9 is 7 to 8.5 mm. Each optical interval is maintained by setting corresponding spacer rings. Preferably, metal spacer rings can be used. After the spacer ring shrinks the aperture, it can also be used to realize the above-mentioned first virtual surface A and second virtual surface B at the same time.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, the curvatures of the nine optical spherical lenses satisfy the following relationship:

[0045] For the first meniscus lens: 25 ≤ R 1≤30, 89 ≤ R 2 ≤93;

[0046] First biconvex lens: 12 ≤ R 1 ≤15, -283 ≤ R 2 ≤ -279;

[0047] First biconcave lens: -284 ≤ R 1 ≤ -280, 8 ≤ R 2 ≤12;

[0048] Second biconcave lens: -19 ≤ R 1 ≤ -15, 12 ≤ R 2 ≤15;

[0049] Second biconvex lens: 11 ≤ R 1 ≤14, -19 ≤ R 2 ≤ -16;

[0050] Second meniscus lens: -17 ≤ R 1 ≤ -13, -25 ≤ R 2 ≤ -21;

[0051] Third biconvex lens: 18 ≤ R 1 ≤21, -13 ≤ R 2 ≤ -16;

[0052] Third meniscus lens: -13 ≤ R 1 ≤ -16, -22 ≤ R 2 ≤ -19;

[0053] Fourth meniscus lens: -15 ≤ R 1 ≤ -11, -53 ≤ R 2 ≤ -50;

[0054] Wherein, R 1 is the curvature of the object side, and R 2 is the curvature of the image side.

[0055] In this embodiment, the optical system composed of the above lens group achieves the following optical indicators: the focal length is 35mm ± 5%, the resolution reaches 8MP, the aperture is 1.8, and the comprehensive performance is very prominent.

[0059] Figure 9 The schematic diagram of the field curvature and distortion of the optical system of the embodiment of the present invention, with the maximum field of view being 14.3 degrees.

[0060] By setting the first lens as a positive meniscus lens, the present invention can converge light rays at a larger angle into the optical system to achieve a large aperture and large aperture ratio; the aperture stop is set between the third and fourth lenses, at the front end of the optical system, to limit the large-angle light rays converged by the positive meniscus lens and the cemented lens group in front of the aperture stop, which can effectively reduce aberration and improve clarity; a set of cemented lenses is provided at each end of the aperture stop to achieve good achromatic aberration correction and improve infrared confocal clarity; a total of three sets of cemented lenses are provided to effectively reduce the total length of the system while achieving achromatic aberration correction and improving infrared clarity; the last lens is a negative meniscus lens to diverge the light rays to achieve a large target surface; thus, an optical system with a focal length of 35mm ± 5% is achieved only by an optical system composed of nine lenses, the phase surface meets the same image quality for the entire 1' field of view, the resolution reaches 8MP, and the aperture is 1.8. The large target surface has high-definition imaging, and the comprehensive performance is very prominent. Moreover, the nine optical lenses have no special shape, are easy to process, have low sensitivity to tolerances, and can be mass-produced.

[0061] Although the specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art of this technology should understand that the specific embodiments we described are illustrative rather than used to limit the scope of the present invention. Equivalent modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art in accordance with the spirit of the present invention should be covered by the scope protected by the claims of the present invention.
