Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of lenses, and in particular to a far-infrared optical system and a far-infrared optical lens. Background Art
[0002] The far-infrared optical lens is a lens that uses far-infrared rays to form images. The far-infrared optical lens has the advantage of all-weather imaging.
[0003] In the prior art, some infrared optical lenses have serious astigmatism, resulting in average imaging quality. Astigmatism can be analyzed from the MTF (Modulation Transfer Function, MTF for short) field of view curve. Specifically, if the sagittal curve and the meridional curve at the same spatial frequency are relatively scattered, this will cause the focal plane positions of the center and edge of the image to be different. When the center is focused, the edge will become blurred, and when the edge is focused, the center will be blurred, resulting in average lens image quality. Utility Model Content

[0076] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in a variety of forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these example embodiments are provided so that the description of the present application will be more comprehensive and complete and the concepts of the example embodiments will be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. The accompanying drawings are only schematic illustrations of the present application and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the figures represent the same or similar parts, and thus their repeated description will be omitted.
[0077] In addition, the described features, structures or characteristics may be combined in one or more example embodiments in any suitable manner. In the following description, many specific details are provided to provide a full understanding of the example embodiments of the present application. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the technical solution of the present application may be practiced while omitting one or more of the specific details, or other modules, components, etc. may be adopted. In other cases, known structures, methods, implementations or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring the present application and making the various aspects of the present application unclear.
[0078] The present application provides a far-infrared optical system. The prior art that is closest to the specifications to be achieved by the present application is Chinese patent CN117471664A. Chinese patent CN117471664A discloses an infrared optical system and an infrared optical lens. The effective focal length of the infrared optical lens is close to the effective focal length of the infrared optical system provided by the present application. However, the sagittal curve and the meridional curve in the MTF curve diagram of the lens are relatively scattered, which shows that the lens has a large astigmatism, which will cause the focal planes of the center and the edge of the lens to be in different positions, resulting in poor edge image quality of the lens. Therefore, the image quality of the lens needs to be improved.
[0079] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the architecture layout of a far-infrared optical system 100 in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the optical axis S is the center line of the light beam. Figure 1In the far-infrared optical system 100, the left side of the leftmost lens is the object side, and the object plane A is located on the object side. The right side of the rightmost lens is the image side, and the image plane B is located on the image side. Therefore, the direction from the object plane A to the image plane B along the optical axis S is consistent with the direction from the object side to the image side along the optical axis S, that is, the direction from the object side to the image side along the optical axis S is equivalent to the direction from the object plane A to the image plane B along the optical axis S. The far-infrared optical system 100 includes, in order from the object plane A to the image plane B along the optical axis S: a spherical lens 1, a super lens 2, and an aspherical lens 3.
[0080] The spherical lens 1 has positive refractive power, the curvature radius of the surface of the spherical lens 1 close to the object surface A is a positive value, and the curvature radius of the surface of the spherical lens 1 close to the image surface B is a positive value.
[0081] The superlens 2 has a positive optical power, and is used to modulate the phase of the incident light to correct the dispersion of a wide spectrum. The superlens 2 provides different focal lengths in different wavelengths. The superlens 2 cooperates with other lenses to converge the focal points of different single wavelength light image planes at the same position to achieve the achromatic function. The superlens 2 is produced by semiconductor technology, and its single chip cost is low when mass-produced, which can reduce the production cost of the far-infrared optical system 100, so that the far-infrared optical system 100 provided by the present application has the advantage of relatively low cost.
[0082] The superlens 2 includes a substrate and a superstructure unit located on the surface of the substrate, and a micro-nano structure 21 is provided at the vertex and / or center of the superstructure unit. The filling material between the micro-nano structures 21 is air or other materials that are transparent in the working band. The micro-nano structure 21 can be provided on the surface of the substrate facing the object plane A, or on the surface of the substrate facing the image plane B, or both the surface of the substrate facing the object plane A and the surface of the substrate facing the image plane B are provided with a micro-nano structure 21. The micro-nano structure 21 can be provided with one layer, two layers or more than three layers. According to the phase modulation method adopted, the various parameters of the micro-nano structure 21 can be adaptively configured using a matching phase modulation formula, so that the superlens 2 can achieve corresponding optical performance.
[0083] It should be noted that although the micro-nano structures 21 in the drawings of the present application are all located on the side of the substrate facing the spherical lens 1, the micro-nano structures 21 are all located on the side of the substrate away from the spherical lens 1, and the micro-nano structures 21 are also arranged on both sides of the substrate within the protection scope of the present application.
[0084] The aspheric lens 3 has positive power, the surface of the aspheric lens 3 close to the object surface A is convex to the image surface B, and the surface of the aspheric lens 3 close to the image surface B is convex to the image surface B. The refractive index of the aspheric lens 3 is equal to the refractive index of the spherical lens 1, and the Abbe number of the aspheric lens 3 is equal to the Abbe number of the spherical lens 1.
[0085] The far-infrared optical system provided by the present application has small astigmatism and excellent imaging quality. At the same time, the far-infrared optical system 100 provided by the present application also has the advantages of small size and low cost. Moreover, the far-infrared optical system 100 provided by the present application has a good athermal effect in an environment of -40°C to 80°C, so that the far-infrared optical system 100 has a wide range of applications.
[0086] In some embodiments, the material of the aspheric lens 3 is the same as that of the spherical lens 1 , so that the refractive index of the aspheric lens 3 is equal to that of the spherical lens 1 , and the Abbe number of the aspheric lens 3 is equal to that of the spherical lens 1 .
[0087] In some embodiments, the far-infrared optical system 100 satisfies Condition 1:
[0088]
[0089] Wherein, fno is the aperture number of the far-infrared optical system 100, and the aperture number is the ratio of the focal length of the far-infrared optical system 100 to the entrance pupil diameter. D is the effective diameter of the surface of the spherical lens 1 close to the object plane A. The effective diameter is also called the net aperture. The effective diameter is the maximum light beam diameter that the lens can pass through. The effective diameter is usually used to indicate the ability of a lens or optical system to collect light. In the present application, D is the maximum aperture corresponding to when light passes through the spherical lens 1, and the unit of D is the unit of length. TTL (Total Track Length, abbreviated as TTL, total optical length) is the total optical length of the far-infrared optical system 100. In the present application, TTL is the distance between the center of the surface of the spherical lens 1 close to the object plane A and the image plane B of the far-infrared optical system 100 on the optical axis S, and the unit of TTL is the unit of length. R 11 R is the radius of curvature of the surface of the spherical lens 1 close to the object surface A, and its unit is length unit. 12 R is the radius of curvature of the surface of the spherical lens 1 close to the image surface B, and its unit is the unit of length. 31 R is the radius of curvature of the surface of the aspheric lens 3 close to the object surface A, and its unit is length unit. 32 is the radius of curvature of the surface of the aspheric lens 3 close to the image plane B, and its unit is the unit of length. D, TTL, R 11 , R 12 , R 31 and R 32 have the same dimension, for example, millimeters.
[0090] Conditional formula 1 ensures that the far-infrared optical system 100 can reduce the volume while satisfying the requirements of large aperture and high light input, while also obtaining good imaging quality.
[0091] In some embodiments, the far-infrared optical system 100 satisfies conditional formula 2:
[0092] 0.45<SAG 31 / SAG 32 <0.55
[0093] The intersection of the surface of the aspheric lens 3 close to the object plane A and the optical axis S is the first point, SAG 31 It is the distance between the first point and the vertex of the effective radius of the surface of the aspheric lens 3 close to the object surface A on the optical axis S, where the “distance on the optical axis S” is equal to the length of the orthographic projection of the straight-line distance between the first point and the vertex of the effective radius of the surface of the aspheric lens 3 close to the object surface A on the optical axis S. SAG 31 The unit is the length unit. The intersection of the surface of the aspheric lens 3 close to the image plane B and the optical axis S is the second point, SAG 32 It is the distance between the second point and the vertex of the effective radius of the surface of the aspheric lens 3 close to the image surface B on the optical axis S, where “the distance on the optical axis S” is equal to the length of the orthographic projection of the straight-line distance between the second point and the vertex of the effective radius of the surface of the aspheric lens 3 close to the image surface B on the optical axis S. SAG 32 The unit is the length unit. SAG 31 and SAG 32 have the same dimension, for example, millimeters.
[0094] When the far-infrared optical system 100 satisfies conditional formula 2, the thickness ratio of the aspheric lens 3 (the ratio of the thickness at the thickest point to the thickness at the thinnest point) can be indirectly controlled, and the degree of deflection of light when it enters and exits the aspheric lens 3 can be constrained, which is beneficial to improving the uniformity of light on the image plane B and increasing the relative illumination.
[0095] In some embodiments, the far-infrared optical system 100 satisfies conditional formula 3:
[0096] 0.03<(f1-f3) / f2<0.06
[0097] Wherein, f1 is the focal length of the spherical lens 1, and its unit is the length unit. f2 is the focal length of the metalens 2, and its unit is the length unit. f3 is the focal length of the aspherical lens 3, and its unit is the length unit. The dimensions of f1, f2, and f3 are the same, for example, all are millimeters.
[0098] The far-infrared optical system 100 satisfies conditional equation 3, and can effectively constrain the optical power distribution among the spherical lens 1, the metalens 2, and the aspherical lens 3, thereby reducing the on-axis aberration and the off-axis aberration and the resulting chromatic aberration, which helps to improve the imaging quality.
[0099] In some embodiments, the far-infrared optical system 100 satisfies Condition 4:
[0100] 4.1mm<f×CT1 / R 11 <4.9mm
[0101] Wherein, f is the effective focal length of the far-infrared optical system 100, and its unit is the length unit. CT1 is the center thickness of the spherical lens 1, that is, CT1 is the thickness of the spherical lens 1 on the optical axis S, and its unit is the length unit. 11 is the radius of curvature of the surface of the spherical lens 1 close to the object surface A, and its unit is the unit of length. f, CT1 and R 11 have the same dimension, for example, millimeters.
[0102] The far-infrared optical system 100 satisfies conditional formula 4, which can effectively control the volume and surface shape of the spherical lens 1 as the first lens and the weight distribution of the far-infrared optical system 100, thereby avoiding the problem of uneven focal power caused by the excessive volume of the spherical lens 1. In addition, the far-infrared optical system 100 satisfies conditional formula 4, which can also reduce the sensitivity of the far-infrared optical system 100 to tolerances, and improve the assembly yield of the lens corresponding to the far-infrared optical system 100.
[0103] In some embodiments, the far-infrared optical system 100 satisfies Condition 5:
[0104] 0.40<BFL / f<0.48
[0105] Among them, BFL (Back Focal Length, abbreviated as BFL) is the back focal length of the far-infrared optical system 100. In the present application, BFL is equal to the distance between the center of the surface of the aspherical lens 3 close to the image plane B and the image plane B of the far-infrared optical system 100, and the unit of BFL is the length unit. f is the effective focal length of the far-infrared optical system 100, and its unit is the length unit. BFL and f have the same dimension, for example, both are millimeters. The far-infrared optical system 100 satisfies conditional formula 5, which ensures the rationality of the value of the back focal length.
[0106] In some embodiments, the far-infrared optical system 100 satisfies conditional formula 6:

When the conditional expression 10 is satisfied, the far-infrared optical system 100 can have a large aperture and a small volume at the same time.
[0125] In some embodiments, the far-infrared optical system 100 satisfies Conditional Formula 11:
[0126] 0.270<BFL / TTL<0.285

[0215]
[0216] See also Fig.31 The present application also provides a far-infrared optical lens 1000, which includes an imaging detector (not shown) and the above-mentioned far-infrared optical system 100. The imaging detector is arranged on the image plane B of the far-infrared optical system 100, and the imaging detector includes but is not limited to CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, referred to as CMOS, complementary metal oxide semiconductor) and CCD (Charge Coupled Device, referred to as CCD, charge coupled device).
[0217] Please Figure 1 See on the basis of Fig.31 In some embodiments, the far-infrared optical lens 1000 further includes a lens barrel 200, which is substantially cylindrical and is used to encapsulate the far-infrared optical system 100. The lens barrel 200 is provided with a mounting through hole 2001, which is used to provide a mounting space for the far-infrared optical system 100. The mounting through hole 2001 includes a first hole segment 2001a, a second hole segment 2001b, a third hole segment 2001c, and a fourth hole segment 2001d in sequence from the object plane A to the image plane B along the optical axis S, and the first hole segment 2001a, the second hole segment 2001b, the third hole segment 2001c, and the fourth hole segment 2001d are connected in sequence.
[0218] The diameter of the first hole segment 2001a is adapted to the lens diameter of the spherical lens 1, and the diameter of the first hole segment 2001a is larger than the diameter of the second hole segment 2001b, so that the connection transition between the first hole segment 2001a and the second hole segment 2001b is stepped. The spherical lens 1 is accommodated in the first hole segment 2001a, which can prevent the spherical lens 1 from moving toward the image surface B.
[0219] The diameter of the second hole segment 2001b is greater than the diameter of the third hole segment 2001c, so that the connection transition between the second hole segment 2001b and the third hole segment 2001c is in a step shape.
[0220] The diameter of the third hole segment 2001c is adapted to the lens diameter of the aspheric lens 3. The diameter of the third hole segment 2001c is larger than the diameter of the fourth hole segment 2001d, so that the connection transition between the third hole segment 2001c and the fourth hole segment 2001d is stepped. The aspheric lens 3 is accommodated in the third hole segment 2001c, which can prevent the aspheric lens 3 from moving toward the image surface B.
[0221] Please refer again Fig.31 In some embodiments, the far-infrared optical lens 1000 further includes a pressure ring 300 , a first spacer ring 400 and a second spacer ring 500 .
[0222] The pressing ring 300 is generally annular, connected to one end of the lens barrel 200 close to the object surface A, and the pressing ring 300 abuts against the surface of the spherical lens 1 close to the object surface A, so the pressing ring 300 can prevent the spherical lens 1 from moving toward the object surface A, and can fix the spherical lens 1. The connection between the pressing ring 300 and the lens barrel 200 includes but is not limited to threaded connection and bonding.
[0223] The first spacer 400 is generally annular, and is received in the first hole segment 2001a. The first spacer 400 is located on the side of the spherical lens 1 close to the super lens 2. Therefore, the step-like structure at the connection transition between the first hole segment 2001a and the second hole segment 2001b can limit the movement of the first spacer 400 toward the image plane B. Since the first spacer 400 is provided with the spherical lens 1 toward the object plane A, the first spacer 400 can be fixed.
[0224] The second spacer 500 is generally annular, and the second pressure ring 300 is accommodated in the second hole segment 2001b. Therefore, the step-like structure at the connection transition between the second hole segment 2001b and the third hole segment 2001c can prevent the second spacer 500 from moving toward the image plane B. The second spacer 500 also abuts against the first spacer 400, so the second spacer 500 can be fixed. The second spacer 500 abuts against the aspheric lens 3, which can prevent the aspheric lens 3 from moving toward the object plane A, thereby fixing the aspheric lens 3.
[0225] The superlens 2 is disposed between the first spacer 400 and the second spacer 500 , and the first spacer 400 and the second spacer 500 jointly clamp and fix the superlens 2 .
[0226] See also Fig.32 In some embodiments, the first spacer 400 is provided with a fixing through hole 4001a, and the fixing through hole 4001a includes a fifth hole segment 4001a1 and a sixth hole segment 4001a2 which are interconnected, wherein the fifth hole segment 4001a1 is located on a side close to the spherical lens 1.
[0227] The diameter of the sixth hole segment 4001a2 is greater than the diameter of the fifth hole segment 4001a1, so that the connection transition between the sixth hole segment 4001a2 and the fifth hole segment 4001a1 is in a step shape. The diameter of the sixth hole segment 4001a2 is adapted to the lens diameter of the metalens 2, and the metalens 2 is accommodated in the sixth hole segment 4001a2. Therefore, the step structure at the connection transition between the sixth hole segment 4001a2 and the fifth hole segment 4001a1 can limit the movement of the metalens 2 toward the object plane A. The surface of the metalens 2 close to the object plane A abuts against the first spacer 400, and the surface of the metalens 2 close to the image plane B abuts against the second spacer 500, thereby achieving the fixation of the metalens 2.
[0228] Further, the first spacer 400 includes a spacer body 4001 and an abutment portion 4002, and the fixing through hole 4001a is provided in the spacer body 4001. The abutment portion 4002 is connected to the side of the spacer body 4001 facing the aspheric lens 3, and the abutment portion 4002 is provided around the sixth hole segment 4001a2. The abutment portion 4002 abuts against the second spacer 400, so the abutment portion 4002 can reduce the clamping force on the super lens 2, and can reduce the probability of the super lens 2 being damaged due to excessive clamping force.
