Description

Low-light level night vision device with eyepiece having large exit pupil diameter
Technical Field
The embodiment of the utility model provides a relate to optics technical field, in particular to eyepiece has shimmer night-time vision device of big exit pupil diameter.
Background
As is well known, although the human eye is a high precision optical system, it has limitations in light intensity, spectrum and resolution capability, and cannot meet the requirements under any complicated external conditions. Generally, human eyes can sense visible light with a wavelength of 390nm to 770nm, but light rays with a wavelength higher than 770nm or lower than 390nm cannot be recognized by human eyes, for example, when visible light such as X-ray, UV light, weak star light and infrared radiation is weakened to a certain degree, the sensing capability of human eyes is also weakened, and the spectrum range at night is not in a visible light region, but the intensity of the visible light portion is not weak, so that not only the observation of human eyes is limited in spectrum and intensity, but also the resolving capability of human eyes is weakened. The analysis shows that the object is difficult to distinguish by human eyes at night, and the low-light night vision device breaks through the limitations, so that the human eyes can normally observe the target under the low-light condition at night.
In low-light night vision devices, the eyepiece is used to magnify the target image on the fluorescent screen of the image intensifier, thereby ensuring comfortable observation of human eyes. The optical characteristics of the eyepiece include the focal length, the field angle, the exit pupil diameter, the exit pupil distance and the like, and whether the parameters of the eyepiece are properly selected affects the volume, weight, magnification and field of view of the night vision device and also affects the night observation performance of the night vision device.
To obtain a larger image and satisfy the requirements of miniaturization and light weight of the whole device, the optimal proposal is to increase the observation magnification of the ocular lens. The observation magnification of the ocular is directly related to the focal length of the lens group, and the ocular is required to have higher focal power when the observation magnification of the ocular is increased. Only the standard spherical positive lens is used for forming the ocular lens, the aberration is difficult to correct, the aspheric surface technology is utilized, the aberration of the ocular lens optical system is easy to reduce, and good image quality is obtained.
In general optical observation devices, in order to ensure that the user maintains a comfortable state during a long period of use, a dual-purpose optical structure is generally used. The traditional binocular optical structure can adapt to the pupil distance of different human eyes by using a structure with adjustable pupil distance. With the development of the technology, optical instruments with binocular large exit pupil structures are gradually increased, typically as binocular night vision goggles. The larger the diameter of the exit pupil, the brighter the observed target is, which is beneficial to observation under dark and weak light, and meanwhile, under the condition of large diameter of the exit pupil, the user is not required to strictly align the optical instrument, so that the use is easier. Thus, the demand for large exit pupil diameter eyepieces is increasing.
Handheld or head-mounted devices have high weight requirements, and small weight changes can have a large impact on the use experience. In order to improve the optical performance and the imaging quality of an eyepiece optical system, in the prior art, a multi-lens combination is often adopted, and although the eyepiece optical system adopting the multi-lens combination has better optical performance and imaging quality, the eyepiece optical system has larger size, poor portability, complex structure and heavier product, which affects the user experience.
The aspheric optical element is an optical element with a surface shape deviating from a spherical surface, and has higher degree of freedom and flexibility and various shapes compared with a traditional plane and spherical optical element. Therefore, various aberrations can be effectively corrected, the image quality is improved, the number of required optical elements is reduced, the external dimension of the optical system is reduced, and the weight of the optical system is reduced.

As can be seen from table 3, the effective focal length of the eyepiece is 20mm and the exit pupil distance is 25 mm. The diagonal full field angle of the eyepiece is 50 degrees, the diameter of the exit pupil is 18mm, the observation range of human eyes can be reached, and therefore the resolving power of the human eyes can be fully exerted.
In some other embodiments, the eyepiece with a large exit pupil diameter further comprises a low-light image intensifier disposed at an image side of the eyepiece and coaxial with the eyepiece for providing an image source.
The image intensifier used therein is an active device, and no other illumination light source is needed.
In this embodiment, the radius of the image intensifier is 9 mm.
In other embodiments, the size of the image intensifier may be varied according to particular needs.
The imaging quality of the eyepiece having a large exit pupil diameter is examined below.
As shown in fig. 2, the MTF (modulation transfer function) can reflect the imaging quality of the optical system, and specifically, the larger the area enclosed by the x-axis below the MTF curve, the smoother the transition of the MTF curve, and the better the imaging quality of the optical system. As can be seen from the figure, the MTF curve transition for the main field is smooth, and the MTF for this eyepiece with a large exit pupil diameter is >0.26 at a side frequency of 40 line pairs/mm. For the eyepiece having a large exit pupil diameter, it can be considered that the optical system has a good imaging effect, that is, the aberration of the eyepiece having a large exit pupil diameter in the present embodiment is well corrected, and the imaging quality is good.
As shown in fig. 3, the left side is the axial aberration curve, the middle is the field curve, and the right side is the distortion curve. The field curvature is an aberration of an object plane forming a curved surface image, and is characterized by tangential and sagittal field curvatures, and the imaging quality of off-axis rays of an optical system is seriously influenced by the excessive tangential and sagittal field curvatures. From figure 3 we can see that the axial aberrations are not large for an eyepiece with a large exit pupil diameter. The curvature of field is in the range of ± 0.15mm, i.e., the curvature of field of the eyepiece having a large exit pupil diameter has been corrected to a smaller range. Meanwhile, when the distortion of the system is less than 4%, the human eye is hardly noticeable, and as can be seen from fig. 3, the maximum distortion of the eyepiece having a large exit pupil diameter is less than 40%, so that the human eye can perceive the distortion, but a large field of view is obtained.
As shown in fig. 4, the point diagram reflects the imaging geometry of the optical system, and in the image quality evaluation, the image quality is very intuitively reflected by the density of the point diagram, and the smaller the RMS radius in the point diagram, the better the imaging quality of the system is proved by the smaller the aberration. From fig. 4, it can be seen that the RMS radius is controlled within 0.1mm, the size of the spot radius of each field is not changed greatly, aberration correction is good, and the imaging quality of the eyepiece with a large exit pupil diameter is good.
According to the data, the eyepiece with the large exit pupil diameter is simple in structure, good in aberration correction and good in imaging quality.
The embodiment of the utility model provides an eyepiece has shimmer night-time vision device of big exit pupil diameter, this eyepiece include from the thing side to the first lens, second lens and the third lens that the coaxial axis set gradually between the image side, and all lenses all have positive focal power and be biconvex lens, the embodiment of the utility model provides an eyepiece light in weight simple structure and easily manufacturing.
