[0048] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0049] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] As mentioned in the background section, this application proposes an optical lens with a short motion group stroke to address the problems in the prior art. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0052] The front fixing assembly includes a first lens 1, the first surface of which is a convex spherical surface and the second surface is a concave aspherical surface (it should be noted that, from...) Figure 1 The first surface of the first lens 1 appears to be spherical due to its large radius; in fact, the second surface is a concave aspherical surface.

[0053] The moving group, along the direction of light incidence, includes a zoom group and a compensation group in sequence.

[0054] A focusing group is located on the side of the compensation group away from the zoom group;

[0055] The zoom group includes a second lens 2, the first surface of the second lens 2 is a plane, and the second surface is a concave aspherical surface;

[0056] The compensation group includes a third lens 3 close to the second lens 2 and a fourth lens 4 away from the second lens 2. The first surfaces of the third lens 3 and the fourth lens 4 are both convex aspherical surfaces, and the second surfaces are both concave spherical surfaces.

[0057] The focusing group includes a fifth lens 5 located near the fourth lens 4 and a sixth lens 6 located away from the fourth lens 4. The first surface of the fifth lens 5 is a concave spherical surface and the second surface is a convex aspherical surface. The first surface of the sixth lens 6 is a concave spherical surface and the second surface is a convex aspherical surface. The second lens 2, the third lens 3, and the fourth lens 4 have motion paths corresponding to the magnification of the compensation group.

[0058] A first driving component is used to drive the second lens 2, the third lens 3, and the fourth lens 4 to move along the optical axis along corresponding motion paths;

[0059] The second driving component is used to drive the focusing group to move in order to compensate for phase difference in environments with temperatures higher or lower than normal. Specifically, in order to improve image quality and make the image clearer, the second driving component does not operate in normal temperature environments, that is, the focusing group does not operate.

[0060] Wherein, the first surface is the lens surface on which light enters, and the second surface is the lens surface on which light exits.

[0061] Specifically, along a defined optical axis, the mid-wave infrared radiation from the target area is arranged in the following order from the object side to the image side: a front fixed group with positive optical power, a zoom group consisting of a plano-concave lens with negative optical power, a compensation group consisting of two meniscus lenses with positive optical power arranged sequentially, and a rear fixed group consisting of two meniscus lenses with positive optical power arranged sequentially. This projects the mid-wave infrared radiation within the field of view onto the focal plane, thereby achieving image formation of the target.

[0062] This invention reduces the travel of the moving group by controlling the magnification of the compensation group, allowing for rapid changes in magnification and thus a faster change in the distance between the compensation and zoom groups. However, a shorter travel of the moving group increases the cam curve lift angle. Therefore, while ensuring cam manufacturability, the travel of the zoom and compensation groups is shortened. During the design process, the aperture of the zoom and compensation group lenses is controlled, thereby reducing the size of the zoom cam, zoom group mount, and compensation group mount. This achieves a compact and lightweight design for the continuous zoom optical lens. Ultimately, the optical lens of this invention can achieve continuous zoom from 45mm to 215mm within a total length of 70mm.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment, each lens has a lens mount; the first drive assembly includes a motor, the output end of which is connected to a cam, the extension direction of which is the same as the extension direction of the optical axis, and the profile of the cam includes at least a first curve, a second curve, and a third curve connected end to end, the first curve corresponding to the movement path of the second lens 2, the second curve corresponding to the movement path of the third lens 3, and the third curve corresponding to the movement path of the fourth lens 4.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, the optical material of the first lens 1 is silicon crystal glass, the radius of the first surface is 50mm-60mm, the radius of the second surface is 100mm-110mm, the light transmission aperture is φ55mm-φ57mm and φ51mm-φ53mm respectively, and the thickness is 7mm-8mm.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment, the optical material of the second lens 2 is germanium glass, the first surface is a plane, the radius of the second surface is 15mm-25mm, the light transmission aperture is φ14mm-φ16mm and φ13.5mm-φ15.5mm respectively, and the thickness is 1.4mm-2.5mm.

[0066] In a preferred embodiment, the optical material of the third lens 3 is silicon crystal glass, the first surface is an aspherical substrate diffraction surface, the radius of the first surface is 15mm-17mm, the radius of the rear surface is 45mm-55mm, the light transmission aperture is φ15mm-φ17mm and φ14mm-φ16mm respectively, and the thickness is 4mm-5mm.

[0067] In a preferred embodiment, the optical material of the fourth lens 4 is zinc selenide, the radius of the first surface is 20mm-30mm, the radius of the second surface is 465mm-485mm, the light transmission aperture is φ11.5mm-φ13.5mm and φ10mm-φ12mm respectively, and the thickness is 3mm-4mm.

[0068] In a preferred embodiment, the optical material of the fifth lens 5 is zinc sulfide, the radius of the first surface is 5mm-7mm, the radius of the second surface is 7mm-9mm, the light transmission aperture is φ4mm-φ5mm and φ7mm-φ9mm respectively, and the thickness is 4mm-5mm.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment, the optical material of the sixth lens 6 is silicon glass, the radius of the first surface is 20mm-30mm, the second surface is aspherical, the radius of the rear surface is 10mm-20mm, the light transmission aperture is φ9mm~φ11mm and φ10mm-φ12mm respectively, and the thickness is 4mm-5mm.

[0070] In a preferred embodiment, the distance between the first lens 1 and the second lens 2 is 22mm-27.5mm; the distance between the second lens 2 and the third lens 3 is 0.8mm-12mm; the distance between the third lens 3 and the fourth lens 4 is 1mm-12mm; the distance between the fourth lens 4 and the fifth lens 5 is 2mm-8mm; the distance between the fifth lens 5 and the sixth lens 6 is 2.42mm; and the distance between the sixth lens 6 and the detector 7 window is 3mm-3.5mm.

[0071] In a preferred embodiment, the optical lens operates in the 3.7μm-4.8μm wavelength range, has an F-number of 4, and a total length of 70mm. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 2 As shown, the focal length continuously zooms from 45mm to 215mm.

[0072] Furthermore, the maximum distortion across the entire field of view of this optical lens is less than 2.9% throughout the entire zoom process, the optical lens weighs 39.3 grams, and the image plane position remains unchanged throughout the entire zoom process, enabling clear imaging at a fixed F-number.

[0073] The fitting of the cam curve is based on the condition of ensuring image plane stability and excellent image quality. In this design, the zoom group and the compensation group move in curves with a certain step size under the drive of the cam. By optimizing the cam curve of the zoom group, the rise angle of the curves of the three motion groups is less than 40°. In addition, the image transformation rate is smooth throughout the zoom process, and the visual effect is more comfortable.

[0074] The fitting of the cam curve was designed to ensure image plane stability and good image quality. Five focal length positions were selected for system optimization. A macro program (CODE V) was used to optimize the cam curves of each moving group, resulting in the following... Figure 3 The cam curves are shown, with each moving group's motion curve being smooth and without inflection points. In the figure, the vertical axis represents the interval value of each moving group's movement along the optical axis at different focal lengths, and the horizontal axis represents the number of points. The curves, from bottom to top, represent the second lens 2 of the zoom group, the third lens 3 of the compensation group, and the fourth lens 4 of the compensation group. As can be seen from the figure, each cam curve is smooth. Fitting the obtained data yields the cam curve equation, which is then used to machine the cam.

[0075] Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7To create the optimal embodiment optical transfer function (OPF) curve using Code V optical design software, the input wavelengths were designed to be 3.7 μm, 4.25 μm, and 4.8 μm, with half-image heights of 0, 1.23, 3.08, 4.31, and 6.15, and an F-number of 4. Since the image quality is the same in both the positive and negative directions, only the positive image height is used as input. In the figure, the horizontal axis represents spatial frequency, and the vertical axis represents the ORF value. Furthermore, Figure 8 - Figure 16 It can also be seen that the optical lens proposed in this application meets the performance requirements.

[0076] Table 1 shows the imaging quality of the low-cost, lightweight, high-magnification continuous zoom optical lens at different focal lengths. It can be seen that the optical system exhibits excellent imaging quality from the center field of view to the edge field of view within a focal length range of 45mm-215mm. In summary, this invention achieves the design requirements of a low-cost, lightweight, high-magnification, and continuous zoom optical lens.

[0080] Based on Example 1, this example proposes a method for determining the cam profile curve, used to determine the cam profile curve in an optical lens with a short-stroke optical group as described above; please refer to... Figure 4 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0081] S1. Determine the profile curve equation of the cam, wherein the profile curve equation is used to characterize the relationship between the geometric parameters of the cam and the displacement of the compensation group; the geometric parameters include at least the rotation angle.

[0082] Further analysis of the relationship between the displacement of the compensation group and the magnification is conducted, establishing a functional expression for the magnification with respect to the geometric parameters of the cam. Using optical design software, the performance of the optical system under different cam geometric parameters is simulated, including the correction of the second-order spectrum, image quality, and overall system length. The influence of magnification on the second-order spectrum correction and the trade-off between it and the overall system length are determined.

[0083] S2. With the goals of correcting the secondary spectrum, reducing the total system length, and achieving lightweight, compact, high zoom ratio continuous zoom, determine the target optimization indicators. The target optimization indicators include at least minimizing the secondary spectrum deviation, minimizing the total system length, and maximizing the zoom ratio.

[0084] Specifically, optimization algorithms such as genetic algorithms and simulated annealing algorithms are used. During the optimization process, the geometric parameters of the cam are continuously adjusted to meet the requirements of the optimization objective.

[0085] S3. A multi-objective optimization strategy is adopted to optimize the profile curve of the cam to obtain the profile curve of the cam.

[0086] A multi-objective optimization strategy can be adopted. Optionally, weighted summation, Pareto optimization, and other methods can be used to balance and optimize among multiple objectives in order to obtain the profile curve of the cam that minimizes the second-order spectral deviation, minimizes the total system length, and maximizes the zoom ratio.
