Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of optical detection, and in particular to a compact card-type telescopic dual-field optical system. Background Art

[0002] In order to meet the needs of long-distance target reconnaissance and detection, the optical system needs to be designed with a long focal length and a large aperture. However, due to the limitation of lens materials, large-aperture optical systems generally adopt a cassette structure, which is divided into a total reflection type and a catadioptric type. The catadioptric structure is relatively more compact and suitable for the limited space volume of aviation aircraft.

[0003] For aviation airborne reconnaissance systems, in order to achieve the requirement of rapid imaging of the array, a fast mirror needs to be placed in the parallel optical path, which requires the optical system to have a telephoto optical path and emit parallel light. On the other hand, in order to achieve a wider range of scanning, the system also has a wide field of view requirement. If the magnification is changed in the card-type system, it will greatly increase the difficulty of design and make it difficult to correct the aberration; in addition, because the size of the secondary mirror is limited by the narrow field of view, the wide field of view obstruction ratio will be very large, which will seriously affect the wide field of view imaging effect. Summary of the invention

[0032] An embodiment of the present application provides a compact card-type telescopic dual-field optical system.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a compact cassette telescope dual-field optical system includes a narrow-field telescope system 2 and a wide-field telescope system 3. The narrow-field telescope system 2 includes a narrow-field primary mirror 21, a narrow-field secondary mirror 22, a narrow-field telescope eyepiece group 23, and a narrow-field folding reflector 24. The wide-field telescope system 3 includes a wide-field primary mirror 31, a wide-field secondary mirror 32, a wide-field telescope eyepiece group 34, and a wide-field folding reflector 33. The working surface of the narrow-field primary mirror 21 and the working surface of the wide-field primary mirror 31 face the same side, and the working surface of the narrow primary mirror and the working surface of the wide-field primary mirror 31 are staggered.

[0034] The narrow field of view telescope system 2 comprises a narrow field of view primary mirror 21, a narrow field of view secondary mirror 22, a narrow field of view telescope eyepiece group 23 and a narrow field of view folding reflector 24 in the direction of traveling along the optical path. The narrow field of view telescope eyepiece group 23 is located in the central opening of the narrow field of view primary mirror 21, and the narrow field of view folding reflector 24 is located on the back of the narrow field of view primary mirror 21, and the narrow field of view folding reflector 24 is directly opposite to the central hole of the narrow field of view primary mirror 21.

[0035] The wide field of view telescope system 3 comprises a wide field of view primary mirror 31, a wide field of view secondary mirror 32, a wide field of view folding reflector 33 and a wide field of view telescope eyepiece group 34 in the direction of travel of the optical path. The wide field of view folding reflector 33 and the wide field of view telescope eyepiece group 34 are both located on the back of the wide field of view primary mirror 31, and the wide field of view folding reflector 33 is directly opposite to the center hole of the wide field of view primary mirror 31.

[0036] Among them, the field of view angle of the narrow field of view telescope system 2 is smaller than the field of view angle of the wide field of view telescope system 3, the telescope exit pupil position 4 of the narrow field of view telescope system 2 and the wide field of view telescope system 3 coincide, and the telescope exit pupil diameter is consistent, so that the rear end can be connected to the same imaging component; and the switching between wide field of view and narrow field of view operation is achieved by cutting the narrow field of view folding reflector 24 into or out of the optical path.

[0037] The present application adopts two cassette telescope structures, and realizes the optical magnification of the cassette system by placing the narrow field of view telescope eyepiece group 23 at the opening position of the main mirror and the wide field of view telescope eyepiece group 34 on the back of the main mirror, and cutting in and out the narrow field of view folding reflector 24. The system structure is compact and avoids the problem of large wide field of view obstruction ratio after the cassette system is changed.

[0038] The working surfaces of the narrow-field primary mirror 21 and the wide-field primary mirror 31 are parabolic surfaces.

[0039] The working surfaces of the narrow field of view secondary mirror 22 and the wide field of view secondary mirror 32 are convex hyperbolic surfaces or convex high-order aspherical surfaces.

[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the optical axis direction of the wide-field telescope eyepiece group 34 is perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the narrow-field telescope eyepiece group 23. When the narrow field of view is working, the wide-field telescope eyepiece group 34 is located between the narrow-field folding reflector 24 and the wide-field folding reflector 33, and all the outgoing light rays of the wide-field telescope eyepiece group 34 are located on the back of the narrow-field folding reflector 24; when the wide field of view is working, the narrow-field folding reflector 24 is located outside the outgoing light range of the wide-field telescope eyepiece group 34. In one embodiment, the position change of the narrow-field folding reflector 24 can be achieved by a sliding mechanism, which drives the narrow-field folding reflector 24 to move within the outgoing light range of the wide-field telescope eyepiece group 34 and outside the outgoing light range of the wide-field telescope eyepiece group 34.

[0041] The narrow-field telescope eyepiece group 23 includes four lenses, which are negative lens, positive lens, negative lens and positive lens in the direction of light entry. The materials are zinc sulfide, zinc selenide, zinc sulfide and zinc selenide in order. In order to compress the volume and prevent the wide-field telescope light path from being blocked, it is located at the opening position of the main mirror.

[0042] The wide-field telescope eyepiece assembly 34 includes four lenses, which are a negative lens, a positive lens, a positive lens and a negative lens in the direction of light entry. The wide-field telescope eyepiece assembly 34 is used to fold the rear optical path to the telescope exit pupil position 4. The materials are zinc selenide, zinc selenide, single crystal germanium and single crystal silicon in sequence.

[0045] The wide-field primary mirror 31 and the wide-field secondary mirror 32 have real primary image points and form perfect images on the axis, which is convenient for installation and adjustment.

[0046] The zoom ratio of the wide field of view and the narrow field of view is 1.5-3 times. In the embodiment of the present application, the compression ratio of the narrow field of view telescope is 12 times, and the compression ratio of the wide field of view telescope is 6 times, that is, the zoom ratio of the wide and narrow field of view is 2 times.

[0047] The working band of the optical system of the present application can be visible light, near infrared, short-wave infrared, medium-wave infrared, long-wave infrared, or any two or more combined bands.
