Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of telescope manufacturing technology, specifically to a large field-of-view telescope optical system. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of processing technology and design concepts, the market share of roof prism telescopes is constantly increasing. The key to a roof prism lies in the presence of a ridge surface. This ridge surface is a roof-shaped reflecting surface sandwiched between two reflecting surfaces within the light path. The edges of these two surfaces are located in the center of the light path, so some roof prisms show a dividing line in the middle. This can be understood as splitting the light beam in two and then reassembling it. However, currently, roof prism telescopes on the market have a relatively small field of view.

[0015] Figure 2 This is a dot plot of the present invention. The visible light wavelength is 400-700nm. The dot plot selects three wavelength bands for description, namely 486.133nm, 587.562nm, and 656.273nm. In principle, the more concentrated the light spot is, the more concentrated the display energy is, and the higher the imaging quality is.

[0016] Figure 3 This is a field curvature distortion diagram from this invention application. Field curvature distortion is mainly used to describe the deformation of the image plane edge after imaging. The maximum distortion in this application is 6.5%, and the image plane will bend at the edge after imaging.

[0017] Figure 4 This is the aberration diagram of this application. The aberration diagram describes the change curve of the entire field of view from the center to the edge. In principle, the more concentrated and overlapping the curves are, the better the imaging quality. This application selects the aberrations at six field of view points. Since the aberration diagram of this application is a half-field curve, the field of view of the entire optical system is twice that of the half-field. The fields of view of this application are 0°, 0.87°, 1.45°, 2.0503°, 2.4650°, and 2.9°, and the wavelengths are 0.486µm, 0.587µm, and 0.656µm, respectively. It can be seen from the aberration diagram that under the same field of view at different wavelengths, the three curves have a high degree of overlap, and the imaging quality is also good.

[0018] We through the Figures 1-4 Overall, our analysis shows that the optical system has good image quality, high resolution, and high sharpness, but there is some image plane curvature at the edges. Overall, it is a relatively good telescope optical system. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
