New technological demands are constantly appearing, with black-light-level high-definition lenses, infrared confocal lenses, cost reduction, and improved lens stability becoming increasingly sought-after goals. However, current optical lenses on the market have shortcomings in high and low temperature performance, night vision, and protection against purple halos, and are also relatively expensive. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a starlight-level high-definition optical lens to address the shortcomings of the prior art.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a starlight-level high-definition optical lens, comprising a first lens, an aperture, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, and a photosensitive chip arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object plane to the image plane. The first lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens are all plastic aspherical lenses, and the second lens is a glass spherical lens. The focal lengths of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens are negative, positive, positive, and negative, respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, the starlight-level high-definition optical lens has an FNo. of 1.6.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0012] 1) By using four lens elements and combining the parameter correction of plastic aspherical lenses with glass lenses, the lens still achieves an FNo. of 1.6, reaching starlight level, while reducing costs;
[0013] 2) Through precise coordination of structure and optics: 1. The use of plastic aspherical surfaces in the third and fourth lenses ensures controllable high and low temperature offsets, while the use of optical glass lenses in the second lens further adjusts the temperature drift, ensuring no temperature drift in the center field of view of the optical system; 2. By adjusting and changing the shape of the lenses, aberrations in high and low temperature states are corrected, ensuring clear imaging across the entire field of view of the optical system; achieving no defocusing at high and low temperatures (high temperature +80℃, low temperature -40℃);
[0014] 3) Through optical simulation and multiple adjustments to structural tolerances, the resolution is improved to 80%, reaching over 4 million pixels;
[0015] 4) By matching lens structure and selecting materials, night vision confocal focus and purple halo reduction are achieved. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Example:
[0024] Reference Figure 1 The starlight-level high-definition optical lens includes a first lens 1, an aperture 5, a second lens 2, a third lens 3, a fourth lens 4, and a photosensitive chip 6 arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object plane to the image plane.

[0029] Aspherical surfaces all satisfy the following equation:
[0030]
[0031] Where: c is the curvature corresponding to the radius, y is the radial coordinate, the unit of the radial coordinate is the same as the unit of the lens length, and k is the conic quadratic coefficient;
[0032] When k < -1, the surface profile of the lens is a hyperbola;
[0033] When k=-1, the surface profile of the lens is a parabola;
[0034] When -1 < k < 0, the surface curve of the lens is an ellipse;
[0035] When k=0, the surface profile of the lens is circular;
[0036] When k > 0, the surface curve of the lens is an oblate shape;
[0037] a2~a8 represent the coefficients corresponding to each radial coordinate.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 The spherical aberration is corrected to within ±0.02mm. The spherical aberration correction is better within the spectral bandwidth, which can increase the cleanliness of the actual image captured by the lens.
[0039] Reference Figure 3 Because of the use of glass aspherical lenses and high refractive index lenses, astigmatism and field curvature can be corrected to a suitable range, so that the resolving power in the meridional direction can be close to the resolving power in the sagittal direction.
[0040] Reference Figure 4 The relative chromatic aberration of f-ray, d-ray, and c-ray relative to the vertical axis is within 2μm, which can meet our lens resolution quality requirements.
[0041] Reference Figure 5 This lens has excellent resolution, and its spatial frequency of 160 cycles / mm provides high sharpness within the center field of view and the 0.7 field of view.
[0042] The technical effects and principles achieved by the starlight-level high-definition optical lens in this invention are as follows:
[0043] 1. Implement starlight function (FNo. reaches 1.6):
[0044] The increased aperture of the lens mainly leads to an increase in spherical aberration and coma. By using the aberrant dispersion coefficient material of the second lens (2), the spherical aberration and chromatic aberration of the optical system are reduced; the third lens (3) and the fourth lens (4) can effectively correct spherical aberration and coma by using aspherical lenses, resulting in smaller residual spherical aberration and coma of the lens.
[0045] 2. Achieve focus retention at high and low temperatures:
[0046] Based on a thorough understanding of optical glass materials, appropriate materials are selected for some positive and negative focal spherical lenses to control the temperature drift of the optical system within a reasonable range. At the same time, a stable mechanical structure is selected to cooperate with the use, thereby achieving focus stability at high and low temperatures.
[0047] 3. Achieve a resolution of over 4 million pixels:
[0048] By using the second lens (2) with an anomalous dispersion coefficient material, and the third lens (3) and the fourth lens (4) with aspherical lenses, spherical aberration and coma can be corrected very effectively, and residual aberrations of the optical system can be further corrected, thereby achieving ideal resolution.
[0049] 4. Achieve night vision confocal focus and purple halo requirements:
[0050] By using the second lens (2) with a material with large dispersion difference, the chromatic aberration is initially corrected. The first lens (1) uses a low dispersion material to further reduce the transverse chromatic aberration of the optical system. The third lens (3) and the fourth lens (4) use materials with large dispersion difference to further optimize the chromatic aberration, thereby ensuring that light of different wavelengths converges together.
[0051] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still make modifications or equivalent substitutions to the specific implementation of the present invention. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention are within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
