The invention provides an optical compensation continuous zooming passive
athermalization optical
system, and aims at providing an optical structure which can achieve optical passive
athermalization between minus 45 DEG C and 60 DEG C and is suitable for a near-
infrared band (0.6
micrometer-1.0
micrometer). The technical scheme of the
system is achieved through the facts including that in a lens
barrel optical
system, a front fixed lens group (7), a front
zoom lens group (6), a fixed lens group (5), a rear
zoom lens group (4), an aperture diaphragm (3) and a rear fixed lens group (2) are sequentially arranged from an object plane to a focal plane; and in the
variable time process, a space between the front
zoom lens group and the rear
zoom lens group is kept unchanged, a motor fixedly connected to a lens
barrel serves as a driving source,
zoom lens groups are driven by a gear-guide rail mechanism to move linearly in the direction of an
optical axis of the optical system forward and backward, and the front
zoom lens group and the rear zoom lens group are driven to be in linkage in the
optical axis forward and backward in equidistance,
constant speed and identical direction manners to achieve continuous change of a focal distance.
