[embodiment]
Below in conjunction with specific embodiment and accompanying drawing, the present invention will be described in detail.
Embodiment 1
As shown in Figure 1, three optical surfaces are arranged in the optical prism 10 of the present invention: first surface 11, second curved surface 12 and the 3rd curved surface 13.The optical prism 10 of present embodiment is to be limited to light after 13 transmissions of the 3rd curved surface, import in the optical prism 10, total reflection takes place during to the first area 111 of first surface 11 in light transmission, through second curved surface 12 total reflection takes place once more again, second area 112 transmissions via first surface 11 at last inject to outside the optical prism 10, i.e. the light recipient.Have the reflex surface in the optical prism 10 and have two: the first surface 11 and second curved surface 12.Wherein 12 on second curved surface plays reflex; And first surface 11 should play reflex, plays the transmission effect again, 111 reflexs in the first area of first surface 11 wherein, and second area 112 plays the transmission effect.In the present embodiment, on the first area 111 of optical prism 10 first surfaces 11 and the 3rd curved surface 13 reflectance coating is arranged.
The first surface 11 of optical prism 10 and second curved surface 12 are when carrying out total reflection in the present embodiment, and in the prior art, twice above-mentioned total reflection all needs to satisfy total reflection condition and could realize.The condition of total reflection: 1. light transmits to low refractive index dielectric from high refractive index medium; 2. the incident angle of light is greater than the cirtical angle of total reflection.Wherein, condition 1 can satisfy certainly, and condition 2 needs special control just can be met.In actual effect of light, only control the state that has reached the limit, and under present technical background, the image effect of generation is difficult to improve again from the light source.As can be seen from Figure 1, effect of light is when first surface 11, and light is the closer to the top of optical prism 10, and incident angle is more little, also with regard to the difficult more total reflection condition that reaches.And transmitted ray concentrates on the second area 112 of first surface 11 just, promptly realizes the part of total reflection condition easily.This has just had very big restriction to optical prism 10 surperficial face types.Present embodiment is outside first surface 11 regional transmissions, and promptly the first area 111, and the plating reflectance coating has been avoided the restriction of total reflection condition in optical prism 10 design processes.Similarly, when total reflection took place second curved surface 12, because second curved surface 12 only needs to play the total reflection effect and gets final product, present embodiment plated reflectance coating on second curved surface 12.The design of present embodiment can be decontroled the degree of freedom of optical prism 10 first surfaces 11 and second curved surface, 12 surperficial face types to a greater extent.Simultaneously, the design of plating reflectance coating has reduced the loss of light.
The reflectance coating that uses in the present embodiment can be that present technology is best, such as golden reflectance coating, silver-colored reflectance coating, aluminium mirror coating, copper reflectance coating, chromium reflectance coating, niobium reflectance coating, palladium reflectance coating, rhodium reflectance coating, silicon reflectance coating or titanium reflectance coating.The optical prism 10 of present embodiment can be to be made by optical glass or resin or the like material.
In the present embodiment, second curved surface 12 and the 3rd curved surface 13 of optical prism 10 can be the male type arcwall faces, and first surface 11 can be the inner concave shape arcwall face.
Embodiment 2
The design proposal of present embodiment and embodiment 1 is basic identical, concrete difference is: because the first area 111 of the first surface 11 of optical prism 10 is coated with reflectance coating, this zone is not subjected to the restriction of total reflection condition, this region design can also be with second area 112 are noncontinuous surfaces, shown in Fig. 2 a and Fig. 2 b.The first area 111 of first surface 11 can be that plane, inner concave shape or other are irregularly shaped.The adjustment of first area 111 is mainly according to the position of light source points, the light that the reflection that this design can maximal condition is sent.
Embodiment 3
The design proposal of present embodiment and embodiment 1,2 is basic identical, concrete difference is: be coated with reflectance coating on the first area 111 of first surface 11, main effect is in order to make light total reflection to the second curved surface 12, therefore, this region design can be according to the scope adjustment region shape of effect of light, such as circular, square, polygon or irregularly shaped, see also Fig. 3 a, Fig. 3 b and Fig. 3 c.
Embodiment 4
The optical imaging system of present embodiment comprises image source 20 and optical prism 10, and wherein the design proposal of optical prism 10 and embodiment's 1,2,3 is basic identical, and the light in the present embodiment is provided by image source 20.The optical imaging system of present embodiment is to utilize curved surface prism to realize that optics amplifies.As Fig. 1, promptly among the embodiment in the optical imaging system light path of image move towards synoptic diagram.The optical imaging system of present embodiment produces the picture system of bigger visual field, higher picture element effectively during image imaging.
Optical imaging system in the present embodiment can also comprise the syndeton of data transmission device and the image source and the optical prism support of optical prism support, image source 10.
Above-described embodiment is described preferred implementation of the present invention; be not that design of the present invention and protection domain are limited; under the prerequisite that does not break away from design concept of the present invention; various modification and improvement that those skilled in the art make technical scheme of the present invention all should fall into protection scope of the present invention.
