Description

The national standard GB1224-76 describes lens decentration as the deviation of the outer circle center axis of the lens and the optical axis. For an optical system (here referring to two or more lenses), when the spherical centers of the refractive surfaces are not on the same straight line, the imaging quality will be affected.

The collimator, the lens device, and the measured aspheric mirror are arranged in sequence along the optical axis direction of the collimator, and the lens device is coaxially arranged with the collimator and converges the parallel light output by the collimator into at least two focal points. One of the focal points coincides with the vertex sphere center of the aspheric mirror, and the other focal point coincides with the best fitting sphere center of at least one ring of the aspheric mirror. This measuring method requires a centering instrument, a turntable, a collimator, and an objective lens. The detection structure is complex, inconvenient to debug and maintain, and expensive, so the detection cost is high. SUMMARY

[0024] A center deviation detection method for an infrared optical lens, comprising the following steps:

[0025] S1, pre-adjustment before use, the laser light is coincided with the axial center of the infrared lens. At this time, the values of the two rotary encoders are set to zero.

[0026] ​S2, test: rotate a dimension direction, make angle symmetry such as ±1°, if laser emits light and the return light of the part to be measured do not coincide, two-dimensional PSD is used to measure the position displacement of the light spot when symmetry angle, when using, a calibrated calibration part is put into the card seat, the center offset of the known calibration part is y, the offset light spot position x measured by two-dimensional PSD, then the center offset of the offset position 1 can be obtained, y=K*x; the infrared optical lens to be measured is put into the card seat, the offset light spot position measured by two-dimensional PSD is a certain value, then the center offset of the infrared optical lens to be measured is obtained according to the coefficient K, the product of the coefficient K and the value measured by two-dimensional PSD.

[0027] Before using, the laser light and the axial center of the infrared lens coincide. At this time, the values of the two rotary encoders are set to zero. Test: rotate a dimension direction, make angle symmetry such as ±1°, at this time, the values of two-dimensional PSD are read out, and whether the symmetry is based on zero point is observed, such as Figure 4 , the left side is the laser light, and the right side is the return light of the part to be measured, the two do not coincide, two-dimensional PSD is used to measure the position displacement of the light spot when symmetry angle, when using, a calibrated calibration part (infrared optical lens) is put into the card seat, the curvature radius and the center offset of the known calibration part are known, for example, the center offset of the calibration part is 30", the offset light spot position measured by two-dimensional PSD is 0.2, then the center offset of the offset position 1 can be obtained, that is, the coefficient K is 150; the infrared optical lens to be measured is put into the card seat, the offset light spot position measured by two-dimensional PSD is a certain value, then the center offset of the infrared optical lens to be measured is obtained according to the coefficient K, the product of the coefficient K and the value measured by two-dimensional PSD.
