[0034] The specific embodiments of this utility model are as follows:

[0035] An optical lens parameter measuring device includes a broadband light source 7, a narrowband light source 8, a first coupler 9, a second coupler 10, a wavelength division multiplexer 11, an end face mirror 12, a first collimator 13, a right-angle prism 15, a first reflector 14, a first photodetector 16, a second photodetector 17, a terminal device 18, a second collimator 27, a first beam splitter prism 28, a second beam splitter prism 29, a second reflector 30, a first white light source 21, a second white light source 22, a first cross-shaped target ring 20, a second cross-shaped target ring 23, a sample lens 24, a first convex lens 19, a second convex lens 32, a linear stepper motor 33, a rotating integrated frame 31, a third convex lens 25, and a CCD camera 26, etc.

[0036] The working principle is as follows:

[0037] First, distance measurement is performed, and the interferometer is adjusted to achieve a coaxial state. Based on the Michelson interferometer structure, light emitted from the broadband light source 7 is split by the first coupler 9 via optical fiber. One beam enters the measurement optical path to extract the interference peak signal of the sample under test. Simultaneously, light emitted from the narrowband light source 8 is split by the second coupler 10. One beam is reflected back to the second coupler 10 by the end face mirror 12, while the other beam, along with the beam from the first coupler 9, enters the wavelength division multiplexer 11 and exits through the first collimator 13, striking the right-angle prism 15. The light, after being refracted by the prism and hitting the first reflecting mirror 14, returns along the same path. It forms an interference peak with the light returning from the measurement optical path at the first coupler 9, and forms a scale light with the light returning from the end face reflecting mirror 12 at the second coupler 10. The interference peak signal and the scale light are received by the first photodetector 16 and the second photodetector 17 and transmitted to the terminal device 18 for signal processing. The right-angle prism 15 is a rotating optical delay line, mainly used for the rapid optical path scanning of the measurement module to form multiple interference peaks, and for accurate distance measurement using the scale light system.

[0038] The light emitted from the first coupler 9 serves two purposes: ranging and coaxial adjustment of the entire measurement optical path. Specifically, the light emitted from the second collimator 27 passes sequentially through the first beam splitter 28 and the second beam splitter 29. In the second beam splitter 29, the light is split into two beams. One beam is transmitted through the second reflecting mirror 30 and returns along the same path. It is then reflected by the second beam splitter 29, passes through the third convex lens 25 and the CCD camera 26, and is reflected by the first beam splitter 28, passing through the first convex lens 19 and the first crosshair target ring 20. The other beam is reflected sequentially through the second convex lens 32, the sample lens 24, and the second crosshair target ring 23. Finally, the data from the terminal device 18 determines the coaxial adjustment status.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, to measure the radius of curvature and center deviation of the lens, the first white light source 21 emits stray light, which is transformed into a cross beam by the first cross target ring 20. This cross beam then passes through the first convex lens 19 to form parallel light, which sequentially passes through the first beam splitter 28, the second beam splitter 29, and the second convex lens 32. A linear stepper motor 33 sequentially focuses the light onto the front surface and center of the sample lens 24. After reflection, the light returns through the second beam splitter 29, passing through the third convex lens 25 and focusing onto the CCD camera 26, forming two clearest cross images. The other path returns to the fiber optic ranging system, forming an interference peak. Simultaneously, the light from the rear surface of the second convex lens 32 also returns to the fiber optic ranging system, forming an interference peak. The distance between these two interference peaks is measured and marked as x. a and x b Then the radius of curvature R is:

[0040] R = |x a -x b |

[0041] In the above formula, R represents the radius of curvature, x a x b This indicates the distance between the two sets of interference peaks.

[0042] When the light beam hits the surface of the sample lens 24, the rotating integrated frame 31 drives the sample to rotate. At this time, the motion trajectory of the reflected cross image can be monitored in the CCD camera 26. We fit the four straight lines of the cross image to obtain the center and draw the trajectory diagram. We find that it is roughly circular. We fit it into a trajectory circle. The radius of the circle reflects the center deviation of the lens being measured.

[0043] Finally, as Figure 3 As shown, to measure the effective focal length and back focal length of the lens, the second convex lens 32 and the linear stepper motor 33 are first moved off-axis via parallel guide rails. Stray light emitted from the second white light source 22 is amplified into a cross beam by the second cross target ring 23, and then focused onto the CCD camera 26 by the sample lens 24, the second beam splitter prism 29, and the third convex lens 25. We know the original height of the cross target ring is y and the focal length of the third convex lens 25 is f. c If the height of the crosshair image is obtained as y', then the focal length f' of the sample lens 24 is:

[0044]

[0045] In the above formula, f' represents the 24-focal length of the sample lens.

[0046] The specific process for measuring the back focal length of a lens is as follows: Light from the fiber optic ranging system exits through the second collimator 27, passes sequentially through the first beam splitter 28 and the second beam splitter 29, and strikes the rear surface of the sample lens 24 and the second crosshair target ring 23, respectively. The reflected light and the reflected light from the optical delay line scan at the same optical path point generate interference peaks at the first coupler 9. Since the second crosshair target ring 23 is located at the focal point of the sample lens 24, the distance between the interference peak of the crosshair target ring and the interference peak on the rear surface of the sample lens 24 is the back focal length. The distance between the two interference peaks can be measured using a scale optical system to obtain the back focal length.

[0047] In summary, the present invention has the following advantages over the prior art:

[0048] 1) Integrate the measurement of multiple parameters such as radius of curvature, focal length, and center deviation into a single coaxial optical path.

[0049] 2) The fiber optic ranging system uses a combination of low-coherence and high-coherence optical systems to achieve rapid ranging.

[0050] 3) Another function of the fiber optic ranging system is to adjust the overall optical path coaxiality.

[0051] 4) Measurements using stray light are simple in terms of light source requirements and other conditions.

Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
