Embodiment
Underwater Imaging camera lens involved in the present invention is a kind of under water large visual field, object lens of large relative aperture optical system of low-light level imaging of being applicable to, and proofreaies and correct simultaneously to comprise all aberrations such as spherical aberration, coma, astigmatism, the curvature of field, distortion, axial chromatic aberration and chromatic longitudiinal aberration.
As shown in Figure 1, this Underwater Imaging camera lens is disposed with water-stop window 1, front lens group, diaphragm 6, rear lens group and image planes 12 along the light path incident direction; This optical system object space medium is water, is air as square medium.
The light that sends of object space target is after 1 refraction of water-stop window under water, the angle increasing of light and optical axis.Water-stop window 1 is flat glass; The glass material trade mark is JGS1, and sealing means is the butt-end packing of O shape circle, and it is of a size of Ф 58 * 9mm;
Front lens group is disposed with the first diverging meniscus lens 2, biconcave lens 3, the first positive meniscus lens 4,5 four eyeglasses of biconvex lens;
Diaphragm 6 has the effect that restriction enters the optical system luminous energy, and light limits through the bore to light behind the diaphragm 6, and its bore is Ф 25.4mm;
Rear lens group is disposed with and connects airtight balsaming lens 7, the second positive meniscus lens 8, the 3rd positive meniscus lens 9, the 4th positive meniscus lens 10,11 5 interval eyeglasses of the second diverging meniscus lens; Move behind the interarea of this lens combination with optical system, guarantee that the rear cut-off distance of optical system is much larger than focal length, so that the CCD camera of C mouth or CS interface can conveniently dock;
Image planes 12 are CCD or film.
Design philosophy of the present invention is as follows:
The Underwater Imaging camera lens all expects to obtain a large field range, but when obtaining large visual field, the axle outer light beam has also produced larger incident angle, and brought very large off-axis aberration, such as coma, astigmatism, the curvature of field and distortion, if the design of front lens group is too simple, to be unfavorable for the correction to off-axis aberration, therefore need to it is suitably complicated, through a large amount of design examples relatively, find that the front lens group design is comparatively suitable by the first diverging meniscus lens 2, biconcave lens 3, the first positive meniscus lens 4, biconvex lens 5 combinations, its total focal power
Figure BDA00002129488100041
Because the disperse function of the first diverging meniscus lens 2, biconcave lens 3, the first positive meniscus lens 4 in the front lens group so that the incident angle of incident ray in front lens group constantly reduce, compress through the bore of biconvex lens 5 with light beam again, so that the off-axis aberration that front lens group produces is controlled preferably.
Plunder when the light of visual field, edge enters optical system and penetrate, the first diverging meniscus lens 2 of front lens group bends towards diaphragm 6.
The rear lens group angle of incidence of light degree of optical system can reduce greatly owing to the disperse function of front lens group, therefore the off-axis aberration that rear lens group produces is relatively little, it has mainly born larger relative aperture, thereby the design focal point of rear lens group is the off-axis aberration than some spherical aberration on the positive axis and the generation of compensation front lens group, the relative aperture of optical system is up to 1/1.4 the time, correction to spherical aberration and coma has caused larger difficulty, after optimizing, lens combination is comprised of five eyeglasses, its total focal power Diaphragm 6 is positioned at before the first eyeglass of rear lens group.In order to control emphatically some primary spherical aberration and high-order spherical aberration on the optical system axis, the lens that rear lens group has adopted the positive and negative separation of multi-disc to arrange, and select the lanthanide glass material of low dispersion high index of refraction as far as possible, wherein the material of the first diverging meniscus lens 2, biconcave lens 3, the second positive meniscus lens 8, the 4th positive meniscus lens 1010 and the second diverging meniscus lens 1111 is respectively LAK3, LAF9, LAK11, LAK4 and LAF8, and meanwhile each simple lens is all done suitable bending to strengthen the control to spherical aberration.
General purer seawater has relatively high transmitance to " bluish-green " light (0.48~0.57 μ m), because e light is within the spectral range of " bluish-green " light, so generally adopt the e light monochromatic aberration that disappears under water, and the correction of aberration will be carried out choose reasonable to the propagation characteristic of light according to the environment for use of camera lens, the degree of depth, illumination and in conjunction with water, in the invention with 0.48 and 0.60 μ m achromatism.
The optical distortion of camera lens has represented certain visual field chief ray at the height of image planes 12 and the departure degree of desirable object height, and the characteristics of this aberration are that not affect imaging definition and its size only relevant with the visual field.Usually less demanding for the optical distortion of non-measurement purposes, camera lens greatest optical distortion involved in the present invention is acceptable for-5.45% as common imaging lens.
Calculate through test of many times, along the light path incident direction, when the airspace between every adjacent two lens was followed successively by 4mm, 7.19mm, 4.96mm, 17.72mm, 29.25mm, 15.16mm, 0.2mm, 0.16mm, 2.65mm and 22.9mm, camera lens had higher image quality.As shown in Figure 2, how during this distinct frequence of Gui N=42lp/mm, 0 ω mtf value reaches 0.65; 0.707 during ω, the average mtf value in meridian field and sagitta of arc field is 0.54; During 1 ω, average mtf value is 0.49.Each visual field particularly 0.707 ω is basically identical with interior meridian field and sagitta of arc field MTF curve, shows that this camera lens has higher image quality.
Based on the imaging lens of said structure, can reach following effect: full field angle is 66 ° under water, and relative aperture is 1/1.4, and focal length is 11.76mm, and rear cut-off distance is 22.9mm, service band: 0.48~0.60 μ m.
Waterproof sealing is a basic functional requirement for the Underwater Imaging camera lens, will seal between water-stop window 1 and the body tube 14, will seal between shell 23 and the body tube 14.The present invention adopts following scheme to carry out waterproof sealing, such as accompanying drawing 3, water-stop window 1 is the outside near a side of water, between the outer ledge of water-stop window 1 and the body tube 14 and be provided with trim ring 13, trim ring 13 self is to screw by spanner, and when screwing trim ring 13,13 pairs of water-stop windows of trim ring 1 produce pressure, this pressure causes the O shape circle 15 between water-stop window 1 and the body tube 14 to produce distortion, and fills up the effect that waterproof is played in the space in seal groove; For anti-waterstop sealing window 1 collapses the limit when the pressurized, be provided with rubber washer 2626 at the outer ledge of water-stop window 1 and protect.During assembling, each lens are packed in time lens barrel 22 successively, body tube 14 is socketed in time lens barrel 22 cylindricals and coaxial with inferior lens barrel 22.Body tube 14 is connected by screw 2424 with shell 23, also must take 2 times seal approach during connection, be to be provided with the 2nd O shape circle 2525 between body tube 14 and the shell 2323, when screw 2424 is tightened, thereby make the 2nd O shape circle 2525 in the seal groove internal strain and fill up the space and play sealing function.In addition, shell 2323 carries out exchanges data by water-stop plug and outside.
The change of underwater environment, variation such as refraction index of sea water, dispersion characteristics, target contrast will make the lens imaging quality be subject to larger impact, therefore the Underwater Imaging optical system need to also comprise focus adjusting mechanism, is used for eliminating the picture element that causes owing to environment change and worsens.Because water-stop window 1 directly contacts with water, therefore should keep water-stop window 1 and image planes 1212 motionless in the focusing process, utilize focus adjusting mechanism to drive front lens group, diaphragm 6 and rear lens group integral body move along optical axis direction and realize focusing, focus adjusting mechanism based on this principle is a lot, be not limited to the focus adjusting mechanism that the present invention uses, namely this focus adjusting mechanism comprises stepper motor 16, be fixed in the motor gear 17 on stepper motor 16 arbors, be fixed in focusing wheels 18 in the circumferential direction of the circle and motor gear 17 phase interlocks and the position-limit mechanism of body tube 14 outer walls, position-limit mechanism comprises helicla flute and the circular groove that is arranged on the focusing wheel 18, focusing post 20 and the stop screw 2421 that is fixed on the body tube 14 on the fixing and inferior lens barrel 22, focusing post 20 is corresponding with the helicla flute position and can stretch in the helicla flute, and the position of stop screw 2421 is corresponding with the circular groove position and can stretch in the circular groove.Body tube 14 maintains static, stepper motor 16 drives focusing wheel 18 by motor gear 17 and rotates, helicla flute promotes focusing post 2020 forces time lens barrel 22 along the straight trough moving linearly that axially arranges on body tube 14 outer walls, focusing wheel 1818 is fixed in stop screw 242121 axial limitings on the body tube 14 when rotating, thereby reach the purpose of focusing, see accompanying drawing 3.Subtle change can occur in the distance in the focusing process between water-stop window 1 and the first diverging meniscus lens 2, but because water-stop window 1 itself does not have focal power, so the focal length of camera lens can not change in the focusing process.
