The application provides a catadioptric co-
caliber three-grade
zoom optical
system, which can eliminate the
vignetting of a transmission
zoom system, compress the structure size of a long
focal length, and improve the target energy collection capacity by using a large
caliber. The optical
system realizes three-grade
zoom of a Cassegrain
primary mirror as a diaphragm, eliminates the
vignetting of the transmission zoom system, compresses the structure size of the long
focal length, and improves the target energy collection capacity by using the large
caliber. Even in low-illumination weather conditions, the
target surface illumination can be ensured, and a high
target surface irradiance can still be realized in the long
focal length mode. The co-caliber zoom structure integrates a part of the long focal length mode of continuous zoom, so that the structure of a small focal length and
large field of view zoom system used in cooperation is more compact, and the weight and space pressure of the overall load are reduced. Meanwhile, the three-grade zoom structure can realize rapid switching of the focal length, and eliminates the zoom
delay in the continuous zoom case.
