[0047] 1. This invention provides a semi-thermal zoom lens, which, through reasonable setting of the optical power of each optical lens group, f1, f2, f3, f4, f... LBy carefully considering the numerical relationships and the appropriate selection of materials for the first biconvex positive lens, the first meniscus positive lens, and the third biconvex positive lens, this lens can operate normally under vacuum and high / low temperature conditions, exhibiting high temperature adaptability and overall performance. The lens achieves pyrolysis at low temperatures, and the front fixed-group focusing effectively adjusts the back focus in telephoto mode while having a much smaller impact on the depth of focus in short-focus mode. Therefore, after focusing in telephoto mode, the lens still maintains good image quality in short-focus mode. At -40℃ and +60℃, only slight focusing in telephoto mode is needed to achieve sharp target images across the entire zoom range. In its high / low temperature design, the lens forgoes investment in high / low temperature control in telephoto mode, reducing material constraints and design complexity. The aperture is positioned within the compensation group, reducing the aperture of the front fixed-group and limiting the lens size to within φ42mm×115mm. This results in a compact structure, simplified front fixed-group, and shorter overall length, achieving a balance between small size and high / low temperature performance.

In the short focal length state, the reciprocal of the relative aperture F is not less than 3.1, and in the long focal length state, the reciprocal of the relative aperture F is not less than 5.0. For a 1 / 2.35-inch target surface, the diagonal field of view reaches more than 35.5°, the full field of view distortion is less than ≤2.5%, and the spatial resolution reaches 145lp / mm.

Among them, Figure 11 , Figure 12 The MTF values ​​are shown for the lens in short focal length mode at -40℃ and +60℃, respectively. It can be seen that the image quality of the lens does not change significantly, that is, the lens achieves heat-free operation in short focal length mode. Figure 13 The MTF (Mean Transformation Chart) is for a lens in telephoto mode at -40°C, indicating that the focal plane has shifted. Figure 14 The image quality is significantly improved after focusing, with the lens in telephoto mode and at -40°C. Figure 15 The MTF (Mean Transformation Factor) at -40℃ after adjusting from a telephoto to a short focal length still shows good performance. This means that while the focal plane changes at low temperatures in the telephoto setting, this can be compensated for by refocusing, and the refocusing process does not affect the image quality in the short focal length setting. Similarly, Figure 16 , Figure 17 The MTF (Mean Transformer) values ​​are before and after focusing the lens in telephoto mode at +60°C. Figure 18 The MTF (Mean Transmission Factor) is the image quality of the lens in its short focal length position after telephoto focusing, at +60℃. This means the aforementioned properties still hold true at high temperatures. In summary, after focusing the lens in its telephoto position, the lens still maintains good image quality in its short focal length position. Therefore, when the lens is in its telephoto position and at -40℃ and +60℃, only a corresponding focus adjustment of -0.072mm and +0.048mm on the front fixed group L1 is needed to achieve a clear target surface across the entire zoom range.

[0082] Figure 19The relative illumination curves are shown when the lens is in short focal length and long focal length. It can be seen that the relative illumination of the entire field of view is greater than 90%, the relative illumination is uniform, there is no dark corner, which meets the requirements of most detectors.

[0083] The detector target size applicable to this invention reaches 1 / 2.35 inch, and the MTF resolution is better than 145 lp / mm.
