The invention provides an optical design method based on curvature attenuation improved parallel curriculum learning, and belongs to the field of optical design, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining an initial structure of an optical
system in a
small field of view, and setting optimization variables which comprise the curvature
radius of each lens, the air interval between the lenses, the lens center thickness and the lens material; taking the geometric
radius or the
root mean square radius of the
point sequence diagram as an
evaluation function, taking the small view field as a starting point, gradually increasing a view
field angle according to a view field increment until a target
full view field is reached, adjusting an optimization variable by adopting a damped least square method after the view
field angle is increased every time, and in the process of adjusting the optimization variable, if
ray tracing fails, determining that the target
full view field is reached. The curvature radius of each lens is reduced to the set proportion of the current curvature radius of the lens until the
evaluation function is smaller than a set threshold value; the invention further provides an optical design
system. The problem that when a large number of lenses are optimized while curriculum learning is used, along with the increase of a view field, part of the lenses cannot transmit light smoothly, and optimization cannot be continued is solved.
