[0041] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the architecture layout of a TOF receiving optical system 100 in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the optical axis S is the center line of the light beam. Figure 1 In the figure, the object to be measured is located on the left side of the leftmost lens, that is, the object side is located on the left side of the leftmost lens, and the object plane A is located on the object side. The image formed by the TOF receiving optical system 100 is located on the right side of the rightmost lens, that is, the image side is located on the right side of the rightmost lens, and the image plane B is located on the image side. Therefore, the direction from the object plane A to the image plane B along the optical axis S is consistent with the direction from the object side to the image side along the optical axis S.

[0042] In the present application, the surface of each optical element closer to the object side of the two surfaces along the optical axis S direction is the object side of the optical element, and the surface of each optical element closer to the image side of the two surfaces along the optical axis S direction is the image side of the optical element. The side of each optical element closer to the object side along the optical axis S direction is the object side of the optical element, and the side of each optical element closer to the image side along the optical axis S direction is the image side of the optical element.

[0043] Please refer again Figure 1 The TOF receiving optical system 100 includes a first aspheric lens 10, a super lens 20, a second aspheric lens 30, a third aspheric lens 40 and a fourth aspheric lens 50. The first aspheric lens 10, the super lens 20, the second aspheric lens 30, the third aspheric lens 40 and the fourth aspheric lens 50 are arranged in sequence along the optical axis S from the object side to the image side.

[0044] The first aspheric lens 10 has a positive refractive power, an object-side surface of the first aspheric lens 10 is convex toward the object side, and an image-side surface of the first aspheric lens 10 is convex toward the object side.

[0045] The optical power of the superlens 20 is positive. The superlens 20 includes a substrate 210 and a micro-nano structure 220. The micro-nano structure 220 is a sub-wavelength structure, and the micro-nano structure 220 is arranged on the object side of the substrate 210 and / or the image side of the substrate 210. According to the phase modulation method adopted, the corresponding phase modulation formula can be adaptively used to configure various parameters of the micro-nano structure 220, so that the superlens 20 has the expected optical performance.

[0046] The refractive power of the second aspheric lens 30 is negative, the object side surface of the second aspheric lens 30 is convex toward the image side, and the image side surface of the second aspheric lens 30 is convex toward the image side.

[0047] The third aspherical lens 40 has positive refractive power, and the object side surface of the third aspherical lens 40 is convex toward the image side.

[0048] The fourth aspherical lens 50 has negative refractive power.

[0049] The TOF receiving optical system 100 satisfies conditional formula 1: Among them, f m is the focal length of the super lens 20, and f is the effective focal length of the TOF receiving optical system 100. m , f have the same dimension, both are length units, such as millimeters.

[0050] Conditional formula 1 reflects the ratio of the focal length of the metalens 20 to the effective focal length of the TOF receiving optical system 100. Conditional formula 1 shows that the optical focal length provided by the metalens 20 in the TOF receiving optical system 100 is much smaller than the optical focal length of the TOF receiving optical system 100. The main function of the metalens 20 is to provide spherical aberration correction in the edge field of view and aberration compensation in the full field of view to improve the imaging quality of the TOF receiving optical system 100. The upper limit of conditional formula 1 is used to ensure that the metalens 20 has the expected optical focal length to achieve the light adjustment within the system length, thereby ensuring that the metalens 20 has the ability to provide spherical aberration correction in the edge field of view and aberration compensation in the full field of view. The lower limit of conditional formula 1 can avoid the optical focal length provided by the metalens 20 being too large. If the optical focal length provided by the metalens 20 is too large, it will cause the compensation provided by the metalens 20 to be too large, which will introduce a large chromatic aberration, which is not conducive to improving the imaging quality of the TOF receiving optical system 100.

[0051] The TOF receiving optical system 100 provided by the present application has a short total optical length, so the TOF receiving optical system 100 is small in size and can be applied to various small electronic devices, having a wide range of applications. The TOF receiving optical system 100 has good processability while having good imaging quality through reasonable optical focal length distribution, and can be easily mass-produced.

[0052] In some embodiments, the micro-nano structure 220 is disposed on a surface of the substrate 210 close to the object side.

[0053] In some embodiments, the micro-nano structure 220 is disposed on the object-side surface of the substrate 210 .

[0054] In some embodiments, the micro-nano structure 220 is disposed on the lowered image-side surface.

[0055] In some embodiments, the object-side surface of the substrate 210 and the image-side surface of the substrate 210 are both provided with a micro-nano structure 220 , so that the metalens 20 has a higher degree of freedom in design.

[0056] In some embodiments, the micro-nano structure 220 is a positive micro-nano structure.

[0057] In some embodiments, the micro-nano structure 220 is a negative micro-nano structure.

[0058] In some embodiments, the micro-nano structure 220 is provided with a layer to make the processing technology of the superlens 20 compatible with the existing semiconductor processing technology, which can facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the superlens 20.

[0059] In some embodiments, the micro-nano structure 220 has two or more layers, so that the superlens 20 has a larger optical focal length that meets the expected requirements.

[0060] For the superlens 20, the position of the micro-nano structure 220, the positive and negative sides of the micro-nano structure 220, and the number of layers of the micro-nano structure 220 can be freely combined as long as the superlens 20 has the expected performance.

[0061] In some embodiments, the phase distribution of the metalens 20 satisfies the following formula:

[0062]

[0063] Wherein, r is the distance from the center of the superlens 20 to any micro-nanostructure 220, λ is the central wavelength of the working band of the superlens 20, is the phase constant, (x, y) is the two-dimensional coordinate of the surface of the metalens 20, a i 、b i 、a ij 、b ijare all real coefficients, N is the number of phase coefficients, f m is the focal length of the superlens 20.

[0064] Further, in some embodiments, the TOF receiving optical system 100 satisfies conditional formula 2: Among them, f m is the focal length of the super lens 20, and f is the effective focal length of the TOF receiving optical system 100. m , f have the same dimension, both are length units, such as millimeters.

[0065] Conditional expression 2 is used to more accurately control the optical focal length of the metalens 20 , so that the metalens 20 can provide spherical aberration correction in the edge field of view and aberration compensation in the full field of view in accordance with expectations, which is beneficial to improving the imaging quality of the TOF receiving optical system 100 .

[0066] In some embodiments, the TOF receiving optical system 100 satisfies conditional equation 3: Wherein, Δλ is the difference between the maximum wavelength and the minimum wavelength of the working band of the TOF receiving optical system 100. For example, assuming that the working band of the TOF receiving optical system 100 is a nanometer to b nanometer, and b is greater than a, then Δλ=(ba) nanometers. The unit of "2π" in conditional formula 4 is rad. is the phase of the superlens 20, The unit of is 2πrad. x is the distance between a point on the metalens 20 and the center of the metalens 20. The dimension of Δλ is the same as that of x, both of which are length units, such as millimeters.

[0067] is the change in the phase of the superlens 20, dx is the change in the distance between a point on the superlens 20 and the center of the superlens 20, is the phase gradient of the superlens 20, The unit is 2πrad / mm. represents the maximum value of the phase gradient of the metalens 20, and the magnitude of the phase gradient represents the magnitude of the negative chromatic aberration introduced by the metalens 20. The lower limit of conditional formula 4 can ensure that the metalens 20 has sufficient and expected refractive power, and the upper limit of conditional formula 4 can avoid the metalens 20 from introducing excessive chromatic aberration, thereby ensuring the imaging quality of the TOF receiving optical system 100.

[0068] In some embodiments, the TOF receiving optical system 100 satisfies conditional formula 4: Wherein, n1 is the refractive index of the first aspheric lens 10, EPD (Entrance Pupil Diameter, referred to as EPD) is the entrance pupil diameter of the TOF receiving optical system 100, R F1is the radius of curvature of the object side of the first aspheric lens 10, K F1 is the cone coefficient of the object side surface of the first aspherical lens 10. EPD, R F1 have the same dimension, which is a unit of length, such as millimeter.

[0069] The upper limit and lower limit of conditional expression 4 are used to ensure that the incident angle and the clear aperture of the TOF receiving optical system 100 are within the processing range.

[0070] In some embodiments, the TOF receiving optical system 100 satisfies Condition 5: Among them, R L1 is the radius of curvature of the object side surface of the fourth aspherical lens 50, R L2 is the curvature radius of the image side surface of the fourth aspherical lens 50, K L1 is the cone coefficient of the object side surface of the fourth aspherical lens 50, K L2 is the conic coefficient of the image side surface of the fourth aspherical lens 50. L1 , R L2 have the same dimension, which is a unit of length, such as millimeter.

[0071] Conditional formula 5 reflects the light-gathering ability and processability of the fourth aspheric lens 50. The lower limit of conditional formula 5 ensures that the difference in curvature radius between the object side and the image side of the fourth aspheric lens 50 is appropriate, making the fourth aspheric lens 50 easy to process, and at the same time helps to control the angle between the object side and the image side of the fourth aspheric lens 50 and the incident light so that it is not too large. The upper limit of conditional formula 5 can ensure that the fourth aspheric lens 50 has the expected light-gathering ability, helps to reduce the aberration of the TOF receiving optical system 100, and controls the size of the optical back focal length of the TOF receiving optical system 100.

[0072] In some embodiments, the TOF receiving optical system 100 satisfies conditional formula 6: Wherein, TTL (Total Track Length, TTL for short) is the total optical length of the TOF receiving optical system 100, CT1 is the center thickness of the first aspheric lens 10, and in the present application, the center thickness of each lens is the thickness of the corresponding lens on the optical axis S. CT3 is the center thickness of the second aspheric lens 30, CT4 is the center thickness of the third aspheric lens 40, and CT5 is the center thickness of the fourth aspheric lens 50. TTL, CT1, CT3, CT4, and CT5 have the same dimension, which is a length unit, such as millimeters.

[0073] The conditional formula six is ​​used to limit the total optical length of the TOF receiving optical system 100, and the conditional formula six is ​​also used to limit the ratio of the total optical length of the TOF receiving optical system 100 to the total thickness of the first aspheric lens 10, the second aspheric lens 30, the third aspheric lens 40, and the fourth aspheric lens 50. Since a thick lens helps to reduce the field curvature of the TOF receiving optical system 100, but a thick lens increases the total optical length, the upper limit of the conditional formula six is ​​used to limit the total optical length of the TOF receiving optical system 100, so that the TOF receiving optical system 100 has a smaller volume, and the field curvature of the TOF receiving optical system 100 can also be controlled. The upper limit of the conditional formula six can avoid the thickness of the thick lens being too thick, and the thickness of the thick lens is not too thick to leave space for other lenses and air gaps, so that the chromatic aberration of the TOF receiving optical system 100 can be eliminated by matching the lens material and curvature.

[0074] In some embodiments, the TOF receiving optical system 100 satisfies conditional equation 7: Among them, R L1 is the radius of curvature of the object side surface of the fourth aspherical lens 50, R L2 R is the curvature radius of the image side surface of the fourth aspheric lens 50, n4 is the refractive index of the fourth aspheric lens 50, and CT5 is the center thickness of the fourth aspheric lens 50. L1 , R L2 , CT5 have the same dimension, both are length units, such as millimeters.

[0075] Conditional expression 7 constrains the focal length of the fourth aspherical lens 50 , which can ensure that the light can be converged onto the image plane B and can be adapted to the incident angle of the image detector adapted to the TOF receiving optical system 100 .

[0076] In some embodiments, the TOF receiving optical system 100 satisfies Conditional Formula 8: Wherein, EPD is the entrance pupil diameter of the TOF receiving optical system 100, and f is the effective focal length of the TOF receiving optical system 100. EPD and f have the same dimension, both of which are length units, such as millimeters. Conditional formula eight ensures that the TOF receiving optical system 100 achieves a balance between the amount of light entering and the imaging quality.

[0077] In some embodiments, the TOF receiving optical system 100 satisfies the conditional formula 9: i >1.6; vd i <25, where n i is the minimum value of the refractive index of the first aspheric lens 10, the second aspheric lens 30, and the fourth aspheric lens 50, that is, the refractive index of the first aspheric lens 10, the second aspheric lens 30, and the fourth aspheric lens 50 are all greater than 1.6. iis the maximum value of the Abbe numbers of the first aspheric lens 10 , the second aspheric lens 30 , and the fourth aspheric lens 50 , that is, the Abbe numbers of the first aspheric lens 10 , the second aspheric lens 30 , and the fourth aspheric lens 50 are all less than 25.

[0078] Conditional formula nine constrains the material distribution of the TOF receiving optical system 100, which can ensure that the first aspheric lens 10, the second aspheric lens 30, the third aspheric lens 40, and the fourth aspheric lens 50 all have sufficiently strong refractive power, thereby greatly shortening the total optical length of the TOF receiving optical system 100. The larger chromatic aberration caused by the first aspheric lens 10, the second aspheric lens 30, the third aspheric lens 40, and the fourth aspheric lens 50 can be compensated by the super lens 20.

[0079] The TOF receiving optical system 100 further includes an aperture 60 , which is used to control the amount of light entering the TOF receiving optical system 100 , thereby ensuring that the TOF receiving optical system 100 can work effectively and generate high-quality images.

[0080] In some embodiments, the aperture 60 is disposed on the object side of the first aspheric surface, specifically:

[0081] (1) The aperture 60 is located on the object side of the first aspheric lens 10, and the aperture 60 is spaced apart from the first aspheric lens 10;

[0082] (2) The aperture 60 is located on the object side surface of the first aspheric lens 10 , that is, the aperture 60 is disposed in contact with the object side surface of the first aspheric lens 10 .

[0083] In some embodiments, the aperture 60 is disposed between any two adjacent lenses, specifically:

[0084] (1) The aperture 60 is located between the first aspheric lens 10 and the super lens 20, and the aperture 60 is attached to the image side surface of the first aspheric lens 10;

[0159] See also Fig.12 , Fig.12 The vertical axis chromatic aberration diagram of the TOF receiving optical system 100 provided in Example 3 under light with wavelengths of 920 nanometers, 940 nanometers, and 960 nanometers is shown. Fig.12 The horizontal axis is the position of light of different wavelengths on the vertical axis image plane, in microns. Fig.12 The vertical axis is the field of view, and its unit is degree. Fig.12 There are three curves in total, among which the wavelength of the M1 curve located at 0 micrometers on the horizontal axis is 940 nanometers, the wavelength of the M2 curve is 920 nanometers, and the wavelength of the M3 curve is 960 nanometers. Fig.12 It can be seen that within the full field of view, the maximum vertical chromatic aberration is less than 1 micron, the chromatic aberration is small, and the dispersion is not obvious, which meets the requirements for chromatic aberration in the excellent imaging quality standard.

[0160] After summarizing the various parameters of the TOF receiving optical system 100 provided by the above three embodiments, the following Table 4 is obtained. Table 4 is mainly used to illustrate that various conditions satisfied by the TOF receiving optical system 100 provided by the present application are all verified and supported by experiments.

[0164] The present application also provides a TOF receiving optical mirror (not shown), which includes an imaging detector (not shown) and the above-mentioned TOF receiving optical system 100. The architecture of the TOF receiving optical system 100 can be referred to above and will not be repeated here. The imaging detector is arranged on the image plane B of the TOF receiving optical system 100, and the imaging detector includes but is not limited to CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, referred to as CMOS, complementary metal oxide semiconductor) and CCD (Charge Coupled Device, referred to as CCD, charge coupled device).

[0165] Since the volume of the TOF receiving optical system 100 is relatively small, the volume of the TOF receiving optical mirror is also relatively small, so that the TOF receiving optical mirror has a lower requirement for the installation space, and thus the TOF receiving optical mirror has a wider application range in various electronic devices.
