Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of optical devices, and particularly relates to a catadioptric hybrid lens for zonal color temperature measurement. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's requirements for lighting quality and color performance, the accurate measurement of the color temperature of light sources has become increasingly important. Traditional global color temperature measurement methods may not be able to capture the true color temperature of local light sources within a specific area. Therefore, the emergence of zonal color temperature measurement technology has filled this gap. By measuring the color temperature in zones, we can more precisely understand the color temperature differences of light sources in different areas, and adjust the lighting scheme or photographic parameters accordingly to achieve more accurate color performance.

[0003] However, although zonal color temperature measurement technology has significant advantages in improving the accuracy of color performance, there are also some limitations. For example, current color temperature meters use long-focus lenses or optical sensors to receive light signals, which results in a small measurement range and a large size, limiting their application in certain scenarios. In addition, when performing global color temperature measurement, it is necessary to repeatedly measure the color temperature of each zone, resulting in low efficiency, especially in large-scale lighting environments.

[0004] To overcome these challenges, future development directions may include optimizing the design of color temperature meters to make them more compact, portable, and capable of achieving a wider measurement range. Summary of the Utility Model

[0028] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0029] The present application discloses a refractive-diffractive hybrid lens for zonal color temperature testing, including a diaphragm, a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, and a fourth lens arranged in sequence along the optical axis from the object plane to the image plane. Among them, at least one of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens is a metasurface lens.

[0030] Any of the above refractive-diffractive hybrid lenses satisfies the following formula:

[0031]

[0032] where Y d is the maximum image height of the refractive-diffractive long-wave infrared lens, Fno is the f-number, EFL is the focal length, and FOV is the diagonal field of view.

[0033] The field of view of the refractive-diffractive hybrid lens satisfies: FOV ≥ 90°, and the size of the imaging area of the refractive-diffractive hybrid lens satisfies 0 < Y ≤ Y d, the working wavelength band of the refractive-diffractive hybrid lens covers the entire visible light range. The refractive-diffractive hybrid lens can integrate light at different angles into light spots with consistent root mean square radii in different regions of the image plane. The light spots in different regions of the image plane are used for the back-end algorithm to calculate the color temperature of each region of the object plane. The aperture stop is the aperture diaphragm, which is located in front of the first lens, and its aperture size satisfies: 1.5 ≤ D*Fno ≤ 1.6.

[0034] Taking only the fourth lens as the metasurface lens as an example, the first and second lenses are spherical lenses, the third lens is an aspherical lens, and the fourth lens is a metasurface lens.

[0035] The first lens is a positive lens with positive optical power. Both the object side and the image side of the first lens are spherical surfaces; its object side is a convex surface, and the radius of curvature satisfies: 0.7 ≤ R1 ≤ 0.8; its image side is a concave surface, and the radius of curvature satisfies: 1.8 ≤ R2 ≤ 1.9; the thickness satisfies: (R1 + R2) / T1 = 13.

[0036] The second lens is located between the first lens and the third lens, and its interval from the first lens satisfies: 0.2 mm ≤ T2 ≤ 0.3 mm; the second lens is a lens with positive optical power, and both its object side and image side are spherical surfaces; the radius of curvature of its object side satisfies 1.5 ≤ R3 ≤ 1.7; the radius of curvature of its image side satisfies -1.1 ≤ R4 ≤ -0.9; the thickness satisfies: (R3 + R4) / T3 = 3.5.

[0037] The third lens is located between the second lens and the fourth lens, and both its object side and image side are aspherical surfaces; its interval from the second lens satisfies: 0.19 mm ≤ T4 ≤ 0.21 mm. The radius of curvature of its object side satisfies: -0.2 ≤ R4 ≤ -0.3, and the radius of curvature of its image side satisfies: -0.5 ≤ R5 ≤ -0.6.

Optionally, the thickness of the metasurface lens can be 0.21 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.7 mm, or 1.1 mm.

[0039] The materials of the first lens, the second lens, and the third lens can be glass or plastic. The fourth lens is composed of two parts, namely a glass substrate and a microstructured array; the material of the glass substrate is glass, and the microstructured array is specifically a micro-nano pillar array, and the micro-nano pillar array can be in a square distribution or a hexagonal distribution. The material of the nano pillars can be titanium dioxide or gallium nitride.

[0040] As Figure 1 shown, the incident light enters through the aperture stop 1, and after being modulated by the first lens 2, the second lens 3, the third lens 4, and the fourth lens 5, it finally irradiates on the image plane 6.

[0041] Exemplarily, Table 1 details the specific optical data parameters of each lens in the refractive-diffractive hybrid lens provided by the present invention in a feasible implementation manner. The optical data parameters in Table 1 correspond to Figure 1 the refractive-diffractive hybrid lens shown.

[0043]

[0044] For the aspheric surfaces in Table 1, the aspheric surface equation is:

[0045]

[0046] where Z is the distance from the corresponding point on the aspheric surface to the plane tangent to the surface vertex, r is the distance from the corresponding point on the aspheric surface to the optical axis, c represents the curvature of the surface at the vertex, K represents the conic constant, and A4, A6, A8, A10, A12, A14, A16

[0047] respectively represent the aspheric coefficients of the corresponding orders of the 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, and 16th orders.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present application, the conic constant K and the aspheric coefficients corresponding to the surfaces of the aspheric surfaces are shown in Table 2:

[0051] In the embodiments of the present application, the phase distribution of the binary surface is the phase distribution of the diffractive lens, and the nano-pillar array is used to implement this phase.

[0052] The equation satisfied by this phase distribution is:

[0053] φ = a 1 r 2 + a 2 r 4 + a 3 r 6 + a 4 r 8 + a 5 r 10

[0054] The polynomial coefficients of this binary surface are shown in Table 3:

[0057] Where R1 is the normalized radius. All the light intercept points are divided by this number to determine the x and y coordinates for polynomial evaluation. a1, a2, a3, a4, and a5 are the polynomial coefficients corresponding to the 2nd order, 4th order, 6th order, 8th order, and 10th order respectively.

Figure 4 is the light trace diagram of the embodiment of the present invention. The light at each angle partially overlaps, which is convenient for the later algorithm to calculate the color temperature.

Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present disclosure, and all of them should be covered by the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the present disclosure should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
