[background technology]
The eyeglass that present optical device such as optical read head, camera lens, lens are adopted generally adopts sphere design or aspheric surface design.
When eyeglass adopts the sphere design, because two refractive surfaces of eyeglass all are designed to the sphere form, so be easy to make and processing.Yet the sphere that spherical divergence eyeglass that the center thin edges is thick or center thick rim are thin is assembled eyeglass, can be along with the increase of (also claiming the number of degrees) of eyeglass index of refraction, and the edge of eyeglass or center can obviously thicken.Wherein the eyeglass index of refraction is meant the back vertex lens power value of this eyeglass, and it is the inverse of the paraxial consequent focal length of eyeglass (distance from eyeglass picture side surface vertices to rear focus) that records of unit that its value equals with rice.Can calculate by formula (1):
Wherein, f
vBe the paraxial back focal distance of eyeglass, the radius-of-curvature of getting the sphere of not being close to picture side is R
1, the radius-of-curvature of being close to the sphere of picture side is R
2, center of lens thickness is t, and eyeglass material refractive index is n, and then the index of refraction of two spheres can be respectively F
1=(n-1)/R
1With F
2=(1-n)/R
2
The unit of eyeglass index of refraction uses D (diopter) expression usually, and the usual said eyeglass number of degrees are exactly F
vOn duty be the 1D=100 degree with 100.From formula (1), when one timing of eyeglass material, the index of refraction of eyeglass is just by R
1, R
2And the t value decides.
When the spherical divergence eyeglass designs, if t is fixed, then along with the increase of eyeglass index of refraction, R
1And R
2Difference just big more, this not only makes the edge of spherical divergence eyeglass obviously thicken, and if optic diameter fix, will make whole lens thickness strengthen.
When sphere convergence eyeglass designs,, sphere depends on R because assembling eyeglass center thickness t
1, R
2Value, therefore, also can be by regulating R
1And R
2Value is regulated the index of refraction of eyeglass.By formula (1) as can be known, sphere is assembled the increase of eyeglass along with the eyeglass index of refraction, R
1And R
2Difference also just big more, then the center thickness t of eyeglass is just big more, makes that the volume of whole eyeglass is bigger.
Therefore, the spherical divergence or the convergence eyeglass that adopt the sphere method for designing to design if be used for camera lens, then can increase the volume of camera lens; If this spherical divergence or to assemble eyeglass be myopia eyeglass or farsightedness eyeglass had then both influenced attractive in appearancely, cause glasses wearer's discomfort again.
In addition, when eyeglass designs, generally except that the easiness and eyeglass slimming of considering eyeglass manufacturing and processing, also must consider the image quality of eyeglass.
Aberration is one of principal element that influences lens imaging quality, and the aberration that generally influences lens imaging quality comprises three kinds of aberrations such as oblique fire astigmatism, visual field bending and distortion.Wherein, the oblique fire astigmatism is because the light beam that sends from the tiny light source of extra-axial object point is different with the focus point of sagitta of arc field in the meridian field, and has astigmatism so that picture is unintelligible when making imaging.The visual field bending is meant perpendicular to the planar object of optical axis when the imaging, as the edge of center and picture inconsistent and make the image planes visual field become curved surface in the image planes position, can claim average index of refraction error again, be commonly referred to the index of refraction error.Distortion is because different because of magnification with distance light axle zone in dipped beam axle zone, and makes imaging generation barrel distortion or pincushion distortion, and this kind aberration makes imaging that how much changes take place but do not influence the sharpness of imaging.
As the index of refraction of establishing imaging surface in the meridian field is F '
T(D), the index of refraction of imaging surface is T ' in the sagitta of arc field
S(D), the image height of ideal image is MQ ', and the image height of true imaging is MQ ", then:
Oblique fire astigmatism=F '
T-F '
S
By formula (1) as can be known, when eyeglass adopts the sphere design, can only eliminate oblique fire astigmatism, index of refraction error and distort these three kinds of aberrations by the radius-of-curvature of regulating two spheres.But in fact,, then can eliminate some aberrations, will increase other phenomenon of two aberrations in addition iff eliminating aberration by the radius-of-curvature of two spheres.
Therefore, eyeglass adopts the sphere design, can't make eyeglass not only thin but also can effectively eliminate oblique fire astigmatism, index of refraction error and the three kinds of aberrations that distort simultaneously.
For addressing this problem, more eyeglass all adopts the aspheric surface design at present, and wherein aspherical lens is meant that wherein at least one refractive surface is an aspheric surface.
Eyeglass adopts the aspheric surface design, can effectively eliminate oblique fire astigmatism, index of refraction error and the three kinds of aberrations that distort.As be disclosed in the CN1212766 Chinese patent application prospectus on March 31st, 1999, disclose a kind of design of aspherical lens, it is by introducing the curvature that high-order term changes eyeglass each point place, and then reduce the thickness difference at each point place, the high-order term of introducing in right this technology had both comprised odd item, also comprised the even item, can cause the eyeglass refractive surface asymmetric, form bigger above-mentioned three kinds of aberrations easily, so be difficult to design and process satisfactory eyeglass.
Be disclosed in the prospectus of CN1412604 Chinese patent application on April 23rd, 2003, the design that discloses another kind of aspherical lens, wherein, at least one refractive surface of this eyeglass is an aspheric surface, this aspheric surface computing formula (2) adopts following form:
The degree of depth of z in the formula (r) expression minute surface, c represents the curvature on aspheric surface summit, r represents the vertical range of lens surface point from optical axis, a
1, a
2, a
3, a
4, a
5Expression aspheric surface high-order term coefficient.
In this eyeglass aspheric surface design formula, design aspherical lens and make the refractive surface symmetry though introduce the even item.But the conic constant value is 1 in this design, and the thickness that shows this aspherical lens is attenuate effectively, and r has power 12 times, difficult oblique fire astigmatism, index of refraction error and the three kinds of aberrations that distort effectively eliminated simultaneously of the aspherical lens of then designing.

vThe curvature on expression aspheric surface summit, r represents that any point is to the vertical height of optical axis on the minute surface, and P represents the conic constant value, and B, C, D, E represent aspheric high-order term coefficient.
The 4th step, adopt damped least square method to be optimized design, make this aspherical lens in a plurality of visual fields, eliminate oblique fire astigmatism, index of refraction error and distortion.
Aspherical lens generally is to eliminate aberration in some specific field angle in the optimal design of eliminating aberration, and wherein field angle is meant when picture side's deflecting light beams passes through rear focus and the angle of lens light axis.So, when carrying out the aspherical lens design in this flow process, begin to adopt and eliminate oblique fire astigmatism, index of refraction error and distortion five visual fields.
The optimal design of the method for designing of this aspherical lens can adopt damped least square method, and its performance function (4) can be defined as:
Wherein, w in the formula

As this oblique fire astigmatism, index of refraction error and the desired value t of three kinds of aberrations in performance function (4) that distort
iWhen being zero, obtain first aspheric surface and the second aspheric asphericity coefficient of this aspherical lens, draw the design result of this aspherical lens by separating of damped least square method.
In the 6th step, judge whether oblique fire astigmatism, index of refraction error and the distortion of this aspherical lens in the whole field range of visual field, 0 visual field to 1.0 all can meet the demands.
Can judge at the curve map of visual field, 0 visual field to 1.0 by making oblique fire astigmatism, index of refraction error and distortion, relevant oblique fire astigmatism, index of refraction error and the distortion of judging these curve maps are in the whole field range of visual field, 0 visual field to 1.0, and whether aberration maximum value meets the demands.
The 7th step, determine whether that by judged result also need increase the visual field is optimized design, if these three kinds of aberrations can not meet the demands in certain visual field, one by one optimal design the visual field that can not meet the demands, promptly eliminate the oblique fire astigmatism, index of refraction error and the distortion that exist aberration maximum value to surpass certain visual field that requires, till reaching requirement.
