Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of wide-angle lens optical design, and particularly relates to an ultra-wide-angle lens with high luminous flux and in the Halpha band. Background Art

[0002] The Halpha band plays an important role in fields such as atmospheric observation. However, for general wide-angle lenses, the focal length ≤ 16 mm, and the general focal ratio (focal length / aperture) is 2.8. When observing with such an optical lens, the clear aperture is about 6 mm, and the light-gathering ability is limited. If an Halpha band narrowband filter is used again, it will cause a further decrease in the system's light transmission. In order to obtain excellent low-light detection ability, although an EMCCD - low-light detection camera with high quantum response efficiency can be used to compensate for the lack of light-gathering ability, the target surface of the EMCCD is small and the number of pixels is small (1k×1k), which will cause a problem of insufficient resolution. Therefore, an ultra-wide-angle lens with high light transmission ability is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides an ultra-wide-angle lens with high luminous flux in the Halpha band.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] An ultra-wide-angle lens with high luminous flux in the Halpha band includes a front lens group and a rear lens group. The aperture stop is located between the front lens group and the rear lens group. The front lens group is composed of five lenses, namely lens L1, lens L2, lens L3, lens L4, and lens L5. Among them, lens L1 is a negative meniscus lens with a focal length f1 of -203.857 mm, lens L2 is a negative biconcave lens with a focal length f2 of -101.217 mm, lens L3 is a biconcave negative lens with a focal length f3 of -129.952 mm, lens L4 is a biconvex positive lens with a focal length f4 of 118.828 mm, and lens L5 is a biconvex positive lens with a focal length f5 of 132.984 mm. The combined focal length f of the front lens group 前 is 60.878 mm. The rear lens group is composed of five lenses, namely lens L6, lens L7, lens L8, lens L9, and lens L10. Among them, lens L6 is a biconcave negative lens with a focal length f6 of -53.385 mm, lens L7 is a biconvex positive lens with a focal length f7 of 68.371 mm, lens L8 is a biconvex positive lens with a focal length f8 of 69.216 mm, lens L9 is a meniscus negative lens with a focal length f9 of -103.592 mm, and lens L10 is a plano-convex positive lens with a focal length f 10 is 127.306 mm. The combined focal length f of the rear lens group 后It is 88.576 mm, and a narrow-band filter is placed at the position of the diaphragm.

[0006] Furthermore, the radius of the diaphragm is less than 22 mm.

[0007] Furthermore, lenses L6 and L7 are doublet lenses, and the combined focal length f 67 is -349.439 mm, and lenses L8 and L9 are doublet lenses, and the combined focal length f 89 is 213.576 mm.

[0008] Furthermore, the narrow-band filter is a 2-inch narrow-band filter.

[0009] Furthermore, the optical system of the high-flux Halpha-band ultra-wide-angle lens has a focal ratio of F2 and a field of view of 160°.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0011] (1) The high-flux Halpha-band ultra-wide-angle lens of the present invention has 4 times the light-passing ability compared with the traditional wide-angle lens (16mm F2.8), and the image quality is uniform within the field of view.

[0012] (2) The high-flux Halpha-band ultra-wide-angle lens of the present invention reserves a diaphragm position to place a 2-inch narrow-band filter, and makes the light rays in each field of view uniformly collimated and incident on the planar filter, which is more suitable for narrow-band imaging in the Halpha band.

A 2 - inch filter can be placed at the position of the middle diaphragm to achieve narrow - band observation imaging. The field of view of this high - flux Halpha - band ultra - wide - angle lens is 160°, the focal ratio is F2, and it is suitable for imaging in the 0.558μm - 0.6563μm band.

[0018] Specifically, the 5 lenses of the front - group lens include lens (L1) 1, lens (L2) 2, lens (L3) 3, lens (L4) 4, and lens (L5) 5.

The combined focal length f of the rear group 后 = 88.576mm.
