Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve a white tracking characteristic without decreasing a dynamic range by guiding bias light only to a solid-state image pickup element for a blue channel. CONSTITUTION:A 2nd prism 10 is provided with the light source part 3 consisting of a red light-emitting diode 30 which has a light emission spectrum outside the near infrared-light range and a visible light cutting filter 31. Then the luminous flux from the light source 3 is made incident on the 2nd prism 10, passed through a dichroic film 7 which reflects a light component of blue, and reflected totally by the incidence surface of a 1st prism 8 to make additional light (bias light) different from image pickup light irradiate only the photodetection surface of the blue channel solid-state image pickup element 4. Namely, the bias light consisting of the near infrared light different from the image pickup light is guided previously to the photodetection surface of the blue channel solid-state image pickup element 4 which is less in light quantity than green light and red light. Therefore, linear output from the weak light of the image pickup light is possible. Consequently, the white tracking performance can be improved without decreasing the dynamic range.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, as shown in Figure 2, the photoelectric conversion characteristics of the solid-state image sensors we use are such that there is almost no output signal at low illumination levels, and the amount of incident light is gradually reduced. As the value is increased, the output signal also increases with y=near, but it becomes saturated in the high illuminance area. The horizontal axis represents the surface of the photosensitive portion (unit: Ax), and the vertical axis represents the output current of the solid-state image sensor (unit: nm). Although efforts are being made to widen the dynamic range, it cannot be said to be sufficient yet.

Next, the path of near-infrared light from the light source section 3 will be explained. The optical axis of the red light emitting diode of the light source section 3 is such that the blue light component of the imaging light is reflected by the blue reflecting dichroic film 7, and then totally reflected by the incident surface 16 of the first prism 8, and directed toward the stomach channel trimming filter. Almost perpendicular to optical path 18
A part 19 of the second prism 1o is made into a mirror surface so that l[lc, and the light source section 3 is installed there. Of the light beam incident on the second prism 1o, the incident angle is less than or equal to the total reflection condition (Sinα-1/
Find with n2, α=4Qj°+n2=1.5525')
The incident light is directed toward the blue-reflecting dichroic film, and the incident angle is below the total reflection condition of the blue-reflecting dichroic film (α2
= 37.67°, according to Garyo's film configuration), most of the light passes through the blue reflective dichroic film A and is totally reflected at the incident surface of the first prism (calculated by $1nα-1/n2, α!
40.1°, 12=1.545251) and passes through an absorption type (colored glass) and an interference type (optical multilayer film) trimming filter for the blue channel, and irradiates the light receiving part of the solid-state image sensor. Some of the light that was not totally reflected (incident angle α−
40.1° or less) passes through prism 8 and enters lens 1.
Head to. Here, the spectral transmittance characteristics of the blue channel absorption type (colored glass) trimming filter 32 are shown in FIG. 6, and the spectral transmittance characteristics of the interference type (optical multilayer film) trimming filter 33 are shown in FIG. show. From this, 7QQn! It can be seen that near-infrared rays in the range from m to 800n are transmitted through the trimming filter. Although it varies somewhat depending on the glass material of the prism, the angle range from the light source to the solid-state image sensor is 40 degrees with respect to the total reflection surface of the first prism.
.. The WL range is from 1° to 62jO°. The angle θ1 of the first prism is 25.5°.

In addition, a light source with a spectrum of 1, a, a, e, and 1 in Figure 3 can be easily obtained at low cost like a red light emitting diode; The light cannot be absorbed or reflected by the blue channel trimming filter provided in front of the image sensor and irradiated onto the light receiving section.

The light source section 3 generates light with a wavelength of near-infrared light (700~soonm), and even if it is composed of a semiconductor laser, a tungsten light source, and a filter that cuts off light outside the above wavelength range, the cost will increase and the service life will be shortened. A similar effect can be obtained with the disadvantage that the length is short.
