DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0047] To make the advantages and features of the present invention clearer, the following further describes the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0048] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, a fixed-focus lens applicable to a 4K resolution detector adopts an eight-group and ten-element structure, including a first spherical mirror 1, a second spherical mirror 2, a third spherical mirror 3, a first cemented lens group, an aperture stop 11, a second cemented lens group, an eighth spherical mirror 8, a ninth spherical mirror 9, and a tenth spherical mirror 10 arranged coaxially in sequence.

[0049] The first spherical mirror 1 is located at the front end of the fixed-focus lens and is a meniscus lens with a negative optical power and a convex surface facing the object side. Its material is LaK2 (lanthanum crown glass) and is mainly used for the auxiliary correction of coma, astigmatism, field curvature, and distortion. The second spherical mirror 2 is a plano-convex lens with a positive optical power and a convex surface facing the object side. Its material is ZF7 (heavy flint glass) and is mainly used for the auxiliary correction of astigmatism, field curvature, and distortion. The third spherical mirror 3 is a meniscus lens with a negative optical power and a convex surface facing the object side. Its material is ZF7 and is mainly used for the auxiliary correction of coma, astigmatism, field curvature, distortion, spherical aberration, and chromatic aberration.

[0050] The first cemented lens group includes a fourth spherical mirror 4 and a fifth spherical mirror 5 arranged coaxially in sequence. The first surface of the fourth spherical mirror 4 is arranged close to the third spherical mirror 3, and the second surface is cemented to the first surface of the fifth spherical mirror 5. The fourth spherical mirror 4 is a biconvex lens with a positive optical power, and its material is LaK2; the fifth spherical mirror 5 is a biconcave lens with a negative optical power, and its material is ZF7. The fourth spherical mirror 4 and the fifth spherical mirror 5 work together and are mainly used for the auxiliary correction of spherical aberration, chromatic aberration, astigmatism, field curvature, and distortion.

[0051] The second cemented lens group includes a sixth spherical mirror 6 and a seventh spherical mirror 7 arranged coaxially in sequence. The first surface of the sixth spherical mirror 6 is arranged close to the fifth spherical mirror 5, and the second surface is cemented to the first surface of the seventh spherical mirror 7. The sixth spherical mirror 6 is a meniscus lens with a negative optical power and a convex surface facing the object side, and its material is LaK2; the seventh spherical mirror 7 is a biconvex lens with a positive optical power, and its material is ZF7. The sixth spherical mirror 6 and the seventh spherical mirror 7 work together and are mainly used for the auxiliary correction of coma, astigmatism, field curvature, distortion, spherical aberration, and chromatic aberration.

[0052] The aperture stop 11 is arranged between the fifth spherical mirror 5 and the sixth spherical mirror 6 for dimming. In this embodiment, the aperture stop 11 is located 0.17 mm in front of the sixth spherical mirror 6.

[0053] The eighth spherical mirror 8 is a meniscus lens with a negative optical power and a convex surface facing the object side. Its material is ZF7, and it is mainly used for correcting astigmatism, distortion in off-axis aberrations, and chromatic aberration in on-axis aberrations. The ninth spherical mirror 9 is a biconvex lens with a positive optical power. Its material is ZF7, and it is mainly used for the auxiliary correction of coma, astigmatism, distortion, and spherical aberration. The tenth spherical mirror 10 is located at the rear end of the fixed-focus lens, that is, it is arranged on the side close to the image plane 12. The tenth spherical mirror 10 is a meniscus lens with a negative optical power and a convex surface facing the image side. Its material is ZF7, and it is mainly used for the auxiliary correction of astigmatism, field curvature, and distortion, and realizes imaging at the position of the image plane 12 after the system aberration is balanced.

[0054] It should be noted that in the present invention, the first surface of each spherical mirror refers to the surface that receives the light beam, and the second surface is the opposite surface of the first surface.

[0055] In this embodiment, the system focal length of the fixed-focus lens is 23 mm, the F number is F2, the imaging size is Φ23.7 mm, the total system length is 150 mm, the field of view can reach ±52.8°, and the relative aperture D / f′ = 2 (D represents the entrance pupil diameter, f′ represents the focal length), and it can be applicable to cameras with a pixel size of 3.3 μm and above. The optical element parameters of the ten spherical mirrors are shown in Table 1:

[0059] As Figure 2 、 Figure 3 shown, they are respectively the modulation transfer function (MTF) curve graph and the distortion curve graph of the fixed-focus lens in this embodiment at different fields of view when the spatial frequency is 150 lp / mm. Figure 2 In Figure 3The abscissa represents the percentage, and the ordinate represents the normalized field of view (the maximum value corresponds to the full field of view, and the normalized value is 1). The blue curve, green curve, and red curve respectively represent the distortion of the spectra of 486.13 nm, 587.56 nm, and 656.27 nm. It can be seen that for the fixed-focus lens of this embodiment, when the spatial frequency is 150 lp / mm, MTF ≥ 0.4, and the distortion of the full field of view ≤ 0.5%, which has good imaging quality, small distortion of the full field of view, and high resolution, fully meeting the performance requirements of the fixed-focus lens.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific technical solution recorded in the above embodiments can be modified, or some of the technical features can be equivalently replaced. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solution to deviate from the scope of the technical solution protected by the present invention.
