Description

Convergent light-splitting aperture multispectral imaging optical system
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of snapshot-type multispectral imaging, and relates to a convergent light-splitting aperture multispectral imaging optical system.
Background
The spectral imaging technology is a high and new technology integrating optics, spectroscopy, electronic technology, computer technology and precision machinery, which appears in the 80 s of the 20 th century. The method can obtain rich information of the space and the spectrum of the target to be detected, so the method has important application value in the aspects of aerospace remote sensing, reconnaissance and mapping, environmental monitoring, resource surveying and the like.
The spectral imaging remote sensing integrates the traditional image dimension and the spectral dimension information, obtains the continuous spectral information of the target while obtaining the target space image, and thereby identifies different targets according to different spectral characteristics. Each pixel or pixel group of each object in the spectral image comprises a specific continuous light (wave) spectrum, and the light (wave) spectrum can be used as a characteristic parameter for identifying the feature after being corrected by atmosphere, so that the time, where, which attribute and what change of an observed target occur can be quantitatively described, and therefore, the spectral image is more and more valued by various countries.
The existing spectral imaging technology mainly has a time push-scan type, a space push-scan type and a snapshot type without push-scan. The snapshot type spectral imaging technology is to acquire two-dimensional spatial information and one-dimensional spectral information of a target simultaneously within the time when a detector acquires a frame of image, and because space push-broom and time push-broom are not needed, the snapshot type spectral imaging technology becomes a research hotspot of the spectral imaging technology at present, and the snapshot type spectral imaging technology of various principles emerges endlessly.
Due to the different principles of the snapshot type spectral imaging technology, the optical system used in the snapshot type spectral imaging technology has different structural patterns according to different principles. For the snapshot type spectral imaging technology of the aperture multiplexing principle, there are two types of optical systems at present:
one is that a plurality of lenses form a lens array directly, the detector connected with the rear end of the lens array has two forms, one is to connect a large area array detector, the structural form has the defect that the lens is limited by the size of the target surface of the detector, and the relative aperture can only be small under the condition of a certain focal length; the other is that each lens in the lens array is connected with a detector, the structural form forms a camera array, the whole volume is large, and the synchronization and image matching technology among the cameras is very complex.
Another optical system is shown in fig. 1 and is formed by simply connecting a telescopic system and a lens array in series, wherein the telescopic system is used for compressing an imaging light beam to output a parallel light beam, and then the lens array formed by a plurality of lenses 103 is used for imaging the parallel light beam onto a detector 105; the telescope system is composed of a front-mounted imaging objective lens 101 and a front-mounted imaging eyepiece lens 102, so that the telescope system is complex in structure, small in view field and large in size, and is limited to be used in application occasions with certain requirements on size.
Disclosure of Invention

an enough distance is reserved between two adjacent spectrum light splitting modules to ensure that images formed on the detector do not interfere with each other;
the imaging quality of the N spectral light splitting modules is close to the diffraction limit, wherein the close to the diffraction limit means that the MTF of the spectral light splitting modules is not lower than 95% of the diffraction limit of the MTF of the whole optical system.
Furthermore, the front group image objective and the lens array are designed integrally to form an image objective.
Further, the N spectrum light splitting modules are uniformly distributed.
Further, the structures of the N lenses are the same.
Further, the materials of the N lenses are the same.
Furthermore, the front imaging objective lens comprises a first imaging lens, a second imaging lens, a third imaging lens and a fourth imaging lens which are sequentially arranged along the same optical axis; the first imaging lens and the second imaging lens form a double cemented lens.
Further, the front group image objective lens further includes a protective glass disposed at a front end of the first imaging lens.
Further, the first imaging lens, the third imaging lens and the lens array are all made of ZK11 material, and the second imaging lens and the fourth imaging lens are all made of ZF3 material.
Furthermore, one of the N spectral light splitting modules is coaxial with the front imaging objective and is positioned in the center of a meridian plane and an isolated sagittal plane of the optical system, and the rest N-1 spectral light splitting modules have different off-axes relative to the front imaging objective.
Furthermore, the filter film is a narrow band-pass filter film and is plated by adopting a Fabry-Perot interference principle.

5. The optical system can realize spectral imaging of the target in the time of acquiring one frame of image by the detector in cooperation with a common detector, and has no special requirement on the stability of a carrying platform.
6. The invention can select proper spectral bands according to different application occasions of the spectral camera, only the lenses in the lens array need to be replaced if the spectral bands need to be replaced, and the lenses are independently installed and fixed, so that the replacement is very convenient.

Because the lens surface of the lens array close to the front group of imaging objective lenses serves as an aperture diaphragm of the integral optical system, and light rays of all fields of view are imaged simultaneously through the N lenses, images formed by the N lenses are the same field of view, the consistency of image space positions of different spectral bands is ensured, and characteristic images can be directly fused without complex image processing.
8. In the optical system, only two common materials are used for manufacturing the lens, so that the cost is low and the engineering realization is good.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the optical system provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes an objective lens 209 and a lens array 206 which are configured before being disposed;
the front image objective lens 209 is mainly used for compressing parallel light beams and forming convergent light beams so as to ensure that the lens array 206 has a larger relative aperture and reduce the volume of the lens array 206; the front imaging objective 209 can also eliminate chromatic aberration in the spectral range of 400nm-1000 nm; in this embodiment, the front imaging objective 209 includes a protective glass 201, a first imaging lens 202, a second imaging lens 203, a third imaging lens 204, and a fourth imaging lens 205, which are sequentially disposed along the same optical axis, wherein the first imaging lens 202 and the second imaging lens 203 constitute a double cemented lens;
in order to make the best use of the target surface of the detector 208, the lens array 206 is made up of nine separate lenses (in other embodiments, the lens array 6 may also be made up of four or another number of lenses); the nine lenses are made of the same material and structure, and have the same corresponding view fields, so that the processing and adjusting difficulty is reduced; the nine lenses are respectively coated with a filter film, the filter film on different lenses has different spectral bands to form nine spectral light splitting modules, and the incidence surfaces of the nine spectral light splitting modules are respectively used as aperture diaphragms 207 of the whole optical system, so that nine images with completely same view fields are formed; specifically, the filter coatings coated on the lenses are narrow-band-pass filter coatings, each filter coating is coated by adopting a Fabry-Perot interference principle, and spectral light splitting and spatial light splitting are combined;
among the nine spectral light splitting modules, one spectral light splitting module is positioned on a main optical axis and is coaxial with the front imaging objective and is positioned in the center of a meridian plane and an isolated sagittal plane of an optical system of the front imaging objective, the other eight spectral light splitting modules have different off-axes in different positions relative to the main optical axis, the off-axis amount mainly depends on the size of a target surface of the detector 208, the off-axis amount is large when the target surface of the detector 208 is large, and the off-axis amount is small when the target surface of the detector 208 is small; in this embodiment, the eight spectrum splitting modules have two off-axis parameters, which are 6mm and 8.5mm, respectively, and the specific positions and off-axis quantities thereof are shown in fig. 4.
The imaging quality of the nine spectral splitting modules can reach 0.4 at a 90lp/mm MTF (modulation transfer function), and the MTFs are close to diffraction limits, so that the same field of view and imaging quality of each spectral band are ensured, and further, a subsequent recovery algorithm is simple, and convenience is brought to later-stage data processing;
the nine spectral light splitting modules respectively correspond to nine imaging channels, the nine imaging channels can simultaneously perform spectral imaging on a detector 208 (the detector 208 is not part of the optical system, the detector 8 and a recovery algorithm can form a spectral imager together), so that different spectral band images of the same target are formed at different positions of the detector 208, and video multispectral imaging is realized; in specific applications, only the lens of the corresponding spectral band in the lens array 206 needs to be replaced when different spectral bands are replaced according to actual requirements.
Because the light rays of all spectral bands enter the optical system through the front imaging objective lens which has better achromatic capability in the spectral band range of 400nm-1000nm, the integral optical system can ensure good imaging quality in the spectral band range of 400nm-1000nm no matter which nine spectral bands are replaced by the nine spectral splitting modules.
As can be seen from fig. 5, 6, and 7, although the lenses in the lens array 206 in the optical system of the present embodiment are located at different positions and have different aberration characteristics, the imaging modulation transfer function of the middle lens and the imaging modulation transfer function of the edge lens are both close to the diffraction limit, the imaging scattering points of the edge lens are both within the diffuse spot, the imaging quality is close to the diffraction limit, and the imaging quality is good.
The imaging range of the optical system of the embodiment is a visible light near-infrared spectrum band, and in other embodiments, the imaging range can be expanded to medium-wave infrared and long-wave infrared spectrum bands by replacing lens materials and plating filter films in corresponding spectrum band ranges.
In consideration of cost, processing, achromatization, and the like, only two materials are used in the entire optical system, except for the cover glass 201, wherein: the first imaging lens 202, the third imaging lens 204, and the lens array 206 are all made of ZK11 material, and the second imaging lens 203 and the fourth imaging lens 205 are all made of ZF3 material.
