Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of imaging lenses, and in particular to an athermal, wide-band, low-distortion, wide-angle lens. Background Art

[0002] Wide-angle lenses, with their short focal length and wide field of view, enable functions that ordinary imaging lenses cannot achieve, and are widely used in fields such as aviation and aerospace. Wide-angle lenses are systems with large aberrations. To correct for these aberrations, they often use high-refractive-index materials or structures with small radii of curvature. This design is often sensitive to temperature. When the ambient temperature changes, the position of the image plane will shift, resulting in a decrease in image clarity. Furthermore, the increase in field of view leads to a sharp increase in aberrations, especially distortion correction, which is extremely difficult. Aspherical surfaces are often introduced at locations far from the field stop to balance distortion and astigmatism.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application number CN111812826A discloses a wide-angle lens comprising first through sixth lenses arranged sequentially from object to image. The first and fourth lenses are glass, while the remaining lenses are plastic aspherical surfaces. This lens maintains stable optical properties at temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C. However, the peripheral field of view distortion is approximately 100%, a significant amount that significantly increases the difficulty of geometric calibration and correction. Furthermore, conventional wide-angle lenses typically operate in the visible light band, which has a narrow spectral range and is difficult to apply to the detection of complex targets.

[0103] The effective focal length of the athermal difference, wide spectrum, low distortion wide-angle lens of this embodiment is f=5mm, the full field of view angle is 118°, the operating band is 400-865nm, the aperture number, that is, the ratio of the effective focal length f to the entrance pupil diameter ENPD is 4.2, the total optical length is 264mm, the ratio of the back focus distance BFL to the total optical length TTL of the imaging lens is 0.076, and the incident angle CRA of the main light of all fields of view on the image plane is not greater than 1°, achieving a large field of view and image telecentricity, and the edge field of view image plane illumination is better than 90%. The lens of this embodiment can meet design requirements such as large field of view, athermal difference, low distortion, and high resolution.

[0104] Such as Figures 9-12 Shown are modulation transfer function (MTF) curves for the athermalized, wide-spectrum, low-distortion wide-angle lens of this embodiment at temperatures of -40°C, 0°C, 20°C, and 60°C. The abscissa represents spatial frequency in line pairs per millimeter (lp / mm), while the ordinate represents the MTF value. The graph shows that at a spatial frequency of 35 lp / mm, the MTF is greater than 0.60 across all fields of view at different temperatures. Compared to the standard temperature of 20°C, the MTF decreases by no more than 0.1 at different temperatures, demonstrating that the lens produces clear images across the entire image plane and exhibits excellent athermal performance.

The figure shows that the relative distortion DI ST for all fields of view is less than 2%.

[0106] like Figure 14 FIG. 1 shows a lateral chromatic aberration curve of the athermal, wide-spectrum, low-distortion wide-angle lens provided in this embodiment. In the figure, the abscissa represents the lateral chromatic aberration, and the ordinate represents the normalized field of view. Figure 14 It is shown in FIG. 1 that the lateral chromatic aberration of the athermal, wide-spectrum, low-distortion wide-angle lens provided by this embodiment is less than 5 μm, and the lateral chromatic aberration is well corrected.

[0107] In summary, the present invention provides an athermal, wide-band, low-distortion wide-angle lens that achieves the design requirements of a large field of view, high resolution, a wide spectrum, clear imaging over a wide temperature range, and low distortion, and can meet application requirements in different fields.

[0108] The above detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention should not be considered to limit the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent of the present invention.
