TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of imaging lens design, and particularly relates to an image-side telecentric lens. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, the spectral imaging technology at home and abroad is increasingly mature. The imaging spectrometer makes the imaging technology and the spectral technology integrate with each other, can image a target and measure the spectral characteristics of the target, and solves the technical problem that the traditional optical instrument cannot simultaneously perform image analysis and spectral analysis on the target. The imaging spectrometer has more and more wide application prospects in the aspects of mineral resources, forest resources and water resources survey, crop disease and pest monitoring, environmental pollution monitoring, space remote sensing, biomedicine and the like.
[0003] The imaging spectrometer mainly comprises a front telescopic system and a rear light splitting system. The front telescopic system is used for imaging an observation target on an entrance slit of the imaging spectrometer so as to be followed by light splitting. In order to make the image plane of the front telescopic system coincide with the slit, meet the requirements of the connection of the entrance pupil and the exit pupil, and overcome spectral overlap, the front telescopic system needs to be designed as an image-side telecentric lens. The front telescopic system is mostly of a reflective structure. Although the reflective structure has certain advantages in correcting chromatic aberration, the system has central obstruction, which leads to a reduction in energy utilization.
[0004] The China Patent Bulletin discloses a visible light near-infrared wide spectral complex achromatic image-side telecentric lens and application thereof (application number: 202010358387.3). The lens is a transmission type optical system with a coaxial structure, comprising first to eighth lenses arranged in sequence along the light incident direction, and an aperture stop arranged between the third lens and the fourth lens. The first lens and the second lens are positive lenses, the third lens is a negative lens, the fourth lens is a positive lens, the fifth lens is a negative meniscus lens, the sixth lens and the seventh lens are positive lenses, and the eighth lens is a negative meniscus lens. The negative lenses are all curved towards the aperture stop, the image-side chief ray is parallel to the optical axis or forms an angle of less than 1° with the optical axis and is perpendicular to the image plane, and the lens works in the 400nm-1000nm waveband. The lens has the following problems: (1) the working distance is infinite and cannot be adjusted, and only an infinite distance object can be imaged, and the image quality cannot be guaranteed when a close-range object is imaged; (2) the focal length is short, the imaging range is small, and the half image height is only 7.3mm; (3) the first lens and the seventh lens are very thin at the edges, the lenses are difficult to process, the light passes through the edges of the lenses, which brings difficulty to mechanical design, the fifth lens is a large convex meniscus lens, which is close to a hemisphere, and the edge is difficult to be cast, and the sixth lens is very thin, and the diameter and thickness are not uniform, and the same processing is difficult.
