The application discloses a folding
axis system alignment method and
system for off-axis
optical path, and belongs to the technical field of optical mechanical adjustment. First, the
optical axis of an inner focusing
telescope is made to coincide with the center axis of a first lens frame by using the inner focusing
telescope and a first centering mirror tool. Then, an accurate
alpha angle folding
optical path is established by using an isosceles
prism with a top angle of alpha and a second centering mirror tool. The placement position of the isosceles
prism and the mounting position of a second lens frame are finely adjusted, so that the
optical axis of the inner focusing
telescope coincides with the center axis of the second lens frame after being folded by the
alpha angle. Thus, the accurate alignment of the center axes of the first lens frame and the second lens frame is realized. The method applies the good
linearity of the
optical axis of the inner focusing telescope and the easy folding characteristics of the
optical path to the accurate alignment of the folding
axis system. By switching the isosceles folding prisms with different top angles, the accurate alignment of the folding
axis system with different folding angles can be realized. The equipment cost is controlled while the alignment precision is ensured, and the structure is simple and easy to operate.
