Description

Medium-wave infrared continuous zoom lens and imaging device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical imaging, in particular to a medium-wave infrared continuous zoom lens and an imaging device.
Background
When the optical instrument is used in a large temperature range, the lens focal power can be changed due to the expansion with heat and contraction with cold of the lens barrel material and the optical material and the temperature refractive index coefficient of the optical material, so that the defocusing phenomenon is generated, and the optical system can be defocused due to the expansion with heat and contraction with cold of the lens barrel material, so that the imaging quality is reduced. In order to reduce the influence of temperature variation on the imaging quality of the infrared optical system, a athermal design, or a thermal difference elimination design, is required, that is, through certain mechanical, optical, electronic and other technologies, defocusing caused by temperature variation is compensated, so that the infrared optical system keeps stable imaging quality in a temperature interval with a large variation range. The current heat difference eliminating mode mainly comprises the following steps: electromechanical active athermal differential, mechanical passive athermal differential, and optical passive athermal differential.
When the focal length of the infrared continuous zooming optical system is continuously changed in a certain range, the image surface is stable and good image quality can be kept. The size of the image surface scenery is continuously variable, and the visual effect which cannot be achieved by a fixed-focus lens and a multi-gear zoom lens can be achieved, so that the purposes of searching for a target with a large view field and carefully observing the target with a small view field are achieved.
At present, domestic research on a medium-wave infrared continuous zooming optical system has been reported in documents. According to the 'compact medium wave infrared continuous zooming optical system design' of Chenluji, 27.5 mm-458 mm continuous zooming is realized for a refrigeration type 320 x 240-element staring focal plane detector (infrared technology 2010, 32 (10)). For the design of the focal plane array detector with 640 × 512 staring elements, the following documents are disclosed: the invention discloses a middle wave infrared continuous zoom lens which can be applied to a 640 multiplied by 512-element 25 mu m refrigeration type middle wave detector, has a focal length range of 50 mm-500 mm, a zoom ratio of 10 times and a maximum moving lens group stroke of 123mm, but has the defects that: because the maximum travel of the mobile group is too long, the view field switching time is increased, and the difficulty of ensuring the superposition accuracy of wide and narrow view fields is increased. Chinese patent publication No. CN106526818 discloses a three-group linked compact high zoom ratio infrared connection zoom optical system. However, the system adopts a three-component zooming mode, so that the optical system has a complex structure and higher control precision requirement.
In summary, the axial size of a typical medium-wave infrared zoom lens is too long, a light path needs to be folded by a screen reflector, the space size is large, and the actual use requirements of high zoom ratio and small size are difficult to meet. In addition, the optical material used by the infrared lens is greatly affected by temperature, and optical parameters such as refractive index, thickness, curvature radius and the like of the optical material can change along with the temperature, so that the focal plane drifts, and the imaging quality is reduced. The temperature caused degradation of image quality is particularly noticeable when the lens is moved to the telephoto end. The problems greatly limit the applicability and application range of the existing infrared zoom lens.
