Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of optical lenses, and particularly relates to a miniaturized large-aperture thermal imaging fold super hybrid lens and a thermal imager. BACKGROUND

[0002] Thermal imaging technology is a technology that uses infrared radiation emitted by objects to detect and image, and plays an important role in many fields such as military, medical, and industrial. The development of thermal imaging technology stems from the need for non-contact temperature measurement and night observation. In low-light or no-light environments, traditional optical imaging relying on visible light is severely limited. However, all objects with a temperature higher than absolute zero will emit infrared radiation. By detecting these radiations, imaging can be achieved without the need for visible light. Infrared radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, with a wavelength range of about 0.75 microns to 1000 microns, covering the main band of thermal radiation.

[0003] A thermal imager collects infrared radiation through an optical system, a detector converts the radiation into an electrical signal, a signal processing unit amplifies and processes the signal, and finally a display device presents a thermal image. Among them, the optical system is an important part of the thermal imager, and the design and quality of the optical system directly affect the overall performance of the thermal imager such as imaging quality and detection sensitivity. Traditional thermal imaging fold super hybrid lenses are mainly designed by multiple refractive lens groups, but the infrared materials used are expensive, the multi-piece structure leads to large volume and weight, and the functional expansion is limited. These problems restrict the miniaturization, portability and cost control of thermal imaging equipment.

[0004] With the advancement of technology, the thin and lightweight characteristics of metasurface technology and the potential of using mature micro-nano processing technology and low-cost dielectric materials provide a new direction for solving the shortcomings of traditional lenses. Metasurface is a two-dimensional planar material composed of subwavelength structure units (usually nanoscale), which can flexibly control the phase, amplitude and polarization of light waves by precisely designing the geometry, size and arrangement of these structure units. It can realize the functions of traditional optical elements on a subwavelength scale, greatly reducing the volume and weight of the optical system, replacing traditional thick lenses, achieving ultra-thin and lightweight optical design, and being easier to integrate into various devices. In addition, metasurface can be produced using mature micro-nano processing technologies such as electron beam lithography and nano-imprinting. In the future, it can be mass-produced at low cost with wafer-level manufacturing, and the material is diversified, not limited to noble metals (such as gold and silver), but also can use dielectric materials such as titanium dioxide and silicon nitride, greatly reducing the cost of raw materials.

[0005] As an improvement scheme, a hyper-hybrid system formed by combining a hyperlens and a traditional lens is proposed, which can realize the required optical path length in a compact space by optical path folding, reduce the size of the traditional lens, and is expected to maintain high imaging resolution and low manufacturing cost. However, the effective application of the hyper-hybrid system in the field of thermal imaging, and the design of a thermal imaging hyper-hybrid lens that simultaneously has the characteristics of miniaturization and large aperture, is still a major challenge for current technology.

[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in the following with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0037] It should also be understood that the terms used in the present application specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. As used in the present application specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a”, “an” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0038] It should be further understood that the term "and / or" as used in the specification and in the claims, if any, means any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes these combinations.

[0039] The thermal imaging fold-hybrid lens provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises a first lens 120 and a second lens 130 arranged in sequence along an optical axis from an object plane to an image plane. At least one of the first lens and the second lens is a super surface lens. The super surface lens comprises a substrate and a micro-nano structure arranged on the substrate.

[0040] As an implementable manner, the first lens 120 is a traditional lens, and the second lens 130 is a super surface lens.

[0041] Specifically, the first lens 120 is a non-spherical Fresnel lens with positive focal power, and the second lens 130 is a super surface lens. The object side of the first lens 120 is convex, and the image side is concave. The object side is an even aspheric surface, and the image side is a Fresnel surface. The object side of the first lens 120 is defined as a first surface, and the image side is defined as a second surface.

[0042] Further, the object side of the first lens 120 is designed as a convex even aspheric surface, which is mainly responsible for the initial convergence of light and the correction of part of high-order aberrations. The image side of the first lens 120 is designed as a Fresnel surface, which presents as a concave surface in a macroscopic form and is composed of a series of concentric and precise ring belt steps. The precise cooperation design of the object side and the image side of the first lens can significantly reduce the center thickness and the overall volume of the lens while maintaining high optical imaging quality, which significantly improves the overall imaging clarity and contrast of the system, and meets the requirements of miniaturization and cost control. The second lens 130 as a super surface lens can realize more precise regulation of light through its plane object side and binary image side and the microstructure arranged on the image side, further improving the imaging quality. In summary, this preferred embodiment performs well in imaging quality, optical performance and application range.

[0043] The thermal imaging fold-hybrid lens is arranged to meet the parameter requirement of 25.0≤F×BFL×D 12 ≤50.0, Under this parameter requirement, the fold-hybrid lens not only has a small overall volume, but also has excellent imaging quality and high resolution.

[0044] In this embodiment, the F number of the thermal imaging folded hyper-hybrid lens satisfies: F≤1.0. A large aperture significantly increases the lens aperture, and the infrared radiation energy (light quantity) received per unit time is proportional to the aperture area. In thermal imaging, this directly improves the signal strength of the detector, enhances the sensitivity, improves the signal-to-noise ratio, and accelerates the response speed, meeting the requirements of high-quality imaging.

[0045] In this embodiment, the metasurface lens can effectively correct aberration, and by setting at least one lens in the thermal imaging folded hyper-hybrid lens as a metasurface lens, a high-quality imaging effect can be provided. In addition, the folded hyper-hybrid lens can achieve a higher focal length and a more optimal light path folding effect, so that the required light path length can be achieved in a relatively small optical system. This feature helps to significantly reduce the volume and size of the optical system, and is expected to maintain a high imaging resolution and a low manufacturing cost.

[0046] As a feasible implementation, the material of the first lens 120 is a chalcogenide material, and the base material of the second lens 130 includes but is not limited to amorphous silicon, crystalline silicon, borosilicate, silicon dioxide, quartz, glass, and the like. The micro-nano structure material of the second lens 130 includes but is not limited to amorphous silicon, crystalline silicon, silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, titanium dioxide, and the like. By matching the positive and negative focal length temperature coefficients of the lenses through material matching, the overall focal length drift is offset, and the proportion of the optical power of each lens is adjusted, so that the total optical power of the system is not sensitive to temperature changes, realizing athermal design, which not only reduces the material cost, but also reduces the volume of the system.

[0047] In this embodiment, the thermal imaging folded hyper-hybrid lens further includes a diaphragm 110. The diaphragm 110 is located before the first lens 120, and the main function is to intercept and limit light. The specific position can be adjusted according to actual needs. Preferably, the diaphragm 110 is attached to the object side of the first lens 120, that is, the diaphragm 110 is located on the first surface of the first lens 120, so as to achieve the best imaging effect.

[0048] The thermal imaging folded hyper-hybrid lens further includes a protective window 140 arranged after the second lens 130.

[0049] Based on the above scheme, the working temperature range of the thermal imaging folded hyper-hybrid lens can be-45°C to 105°C, which can maintain stable performance and imaging quality, and adapt to various extreme environmental conditions.

[0050] The following are two preferred embodiments based on the above examples, which detail the specific optical data parameters of each lens in the thermal imaging folded hyper-hybrid lens provided by the embodiments of the present application.

The first lens 120 is a non-spherical Fresnel lens with positive focal power, the object side is convex, the image side is concave, the object side is an even non-spherical surface, and the image side is a Fresnel surface. The second lens 130 is a metasurface lens, the object side has a microstructure arrangement, and the image side is a plane. The stop 110 is located on the first surface of the first lens 120. The incident light is limited by the stop 110, enters through the object side of the first lens 120, passes through the second lens 130 and the protective window 140, and finally converges on the imaging surface 150.
