Focal plane detectors are in practical use. One of the characteristics that an infrared lens for forming an infrared image on a focal plane detector should have is that aberrations be appropriately removed within a required angle of view and within a required wavelength range.

In addition, since the first lens on the object side is an aperture diaphragm, there is a problem that infrared rays emitted by the aperture diaphragm and the lens barrel pass through the lens and enter the focal plane detector, causing noise and charge saturation. there were.

軸上色収差を生じる。[Operation] Infrared transmitting materials used in infrared lenses usually have a positive dispersion value, that is, the longer the wavelength, the lower the refractive index, and the lens that images the object light on the infrared detector acts as a convex lens as a whole. Therefore, a lens made of a material with a positive dispersion value generally produces axial chromatic aberration in which the longer the wavelength, the weaker the refractive power.

In addition, by using a relay lens to relay the intermediate image formed by the objective lens to an infrared detector, the lens diameter can be reduced and an aperture stop can be installed outside the lens exit side.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an infrared wide-angle lens according to the present invention. In the figure, L1 to L8 are the first to eighth in order.
L1 to L4 constitute an objective lens OL, and L5 to L8 constitute a relay lens RL. The material of the second concave lens L2 and the sixth concave lens L6 is germanium, and the others are all silicon. S is a cooled aperture stop, and I is an infrared detector placed on the focal plane. W is a Dewar window for installing and cooling the infrared detector I and the aperture stop S in a vacuum.

長波長になる程、低い屈折率をもつ。The reason why the infrared wide-angle lens is configured as described above is as follows, and the following effects can be produced. The reason why the lens is constructed of two types of infrared transmitting materials with different dispersions and the infrared transmitting materials with large dispersions are used for the concave second lens and the concave sixth lens is to correct chromatic aberration. Infrared transparent materials usually have a positive dispersion value, that is, the longer the wavelength, the lower the refractive index.

It is no longer easy to correct it after the lens. Therefore, the second lens, which is a concave lens excluding the first lens, and the sixth lens are concave lenses.
Use a material with a large dispersion value for the lens.

、いわゆるコールドシールドで覆われて使用される。By providing an aperture stop on the outside of the ejection side and cooling it, it is possible to make the infrared radiation from the aperture stop negligible and to block the infrared radiation from the inside of the lens barrel and the inside of the imaging device. can. Infrared detectors are usually covered with a so-called cold shield, which is a cooled material that does not reflect or transmit infrared rays, in order to minimize the incidence of unnecessary infrared rays emitted from sources other than the object being photographed, such as the lens barrel.

に広角の場合レンズの径の増大を招く。By providing an aperture stop outside the exit side of the lens, it is also possible to match the aperture stop with the cold shield without placing an excessive load on the cooler. Although such a configuration may include only an objective lens, the height of incidence of the light beam on the front group of the lens becomes high, leading to an increase in the diameter of the lens, especially in the case of a wide angle.

However, by using a relay lens to relay the intermediate image formed by the objective lens to the infrared detector, the lens diameter can be reduced and it becomes easy to install an aperture stop outside the lens exit side.

容易でなくなる。Condition (1) defines the total length of the lens. If the lower limit is exceeded, the refraction angle at the image-side surface of the fifth lens becomes large, which increases the deterioration of imaging performance due to manufacturing errors and may cause total internal reflection. Also. If the upper limit is exceeded, the overall length becomes longer, and if the distance between the aperture stop and the infrared detector is kept below a certain value in order to reduce the load on the cooler, the diameter of the relay lens increases, making it difficult to correct aberrations.

If the lower limit is exceeded, the diameter of the relay lens will increase, making it difficult to correct aberrations. Moreover, when the upper limit is exceeded, the heat load on the cooler increases.

When the imaging magnification of the relay lens exceeds the lower limit, the lens diameter on the incident side of the relay lens becomes small, the numerical aperture on the incident side of the relay lens increases, and the configuration of the objective lens and the relay lens becomes difficult.

The exit side surface of the fifth lens L5 is an aspherical surface, and its shape is defined by y being the distance from the optical axis, z being the intersection of the optical axis and the aspherical surface, and the displacement of the aspherical surface from the reference plane perpendicular to the optical axis.

As is clear from the figure, it shows good imaging characteristics in the wavelength range λ = 3 to 5 μm, and is of great practical benefit as an infrared wide-angle lens that can be used with a focal plane infrared detector to obtain wide-field images. .
