Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of optical measurement, and more specifically to a lens refractive index measuring device and a measuring method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The refractive index parameter is an important parameter indicator of optical lenses. In order to ensure that the optical system has good imaging quality, it is necessary to accurately measure the refractive index of optical materials. At present, the high-precision measurement of the refractive index of optical glass materials is carried out through the minimum deviation angle method. The minimum deviation angle method has high precision, a large wavelength range, and is a direct measurement, but the premise of the minimum deviation angle test method is that a prism needs to be made to refract light, and the angle of the prism needs to be accurately tested. Such a prism is difficult to make and takes a long time to make; in addition, this method cannot test flat optical components. It is more suitable for glass manufacturers to test the refractive index samples of the same batch of glass, but not suitable for online high-precision testing of actual lens materials. Especially in some special applications, such as the refractive index detection of eyeglass lenses, when the material of the optical component is unknown, it is required not to destroy the component to achieve its refractive index detection, and then determine its material properties.

[0003] Currently, there are two main methods for measuring the refractive index of finished lenses. One is to perform reverse calculation based on the optical power formula, that is, to use mechanical precision measurement methods to measure the upper and lower surface curvatures, center thickness and lens optical power, and calculate the refractive index of the test wavelength based on the optical power. This method is complex and difficult to operate, and it is difficult to ensure measurement accuracy, and it is not suitable for aspheric lens measurement. The other method is to change the "environmental" refractive index method, that is, by changing the refractive index of the medium in contact with the upper and lower surfaces of the lens, such as placing the lens in a solution with a known refractive index, or attaching a flexible medium with a known refractive index to the upper and lower surfaces of the lens, and testing the optical power of the lens in the air and in the solution respectively. The refractive index of the lens material can be calculated based on the change in optical power and the refractive index of the solution. This method is also complex to operate and difficult to detect. Summary of the invention
