Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a performance drop as a low-pass filter of a double refraction plate, and to remove a false color signal, by placing a main axis of a half-transmission mirror by rotating it by a specific angle against the horizontal scanning direction of an image pickup tube. CONSTITUTION:A main axis of a half-transmission mirror 1 is placed by rotating it by (45+90n) deg. when (n) is set to 0, 1, 2 and 3, and by 45 deg. in this case by setting ''n'' to ''0'', against the horizontal scanning direction of an image pickup tube. When it is rotated by 45 deg. in this way, a P component and an S component of light become equal, and a transmission ratio of a normal light beam 4 and an abnormal light beam 5, which have been separated by a double refraction plate 2 becomes equal, therefore, the double refraction plate 2 is capable of sufficiently displaying the performance as a low-pass filter. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate a false color signal caused by mixing of space frequency of an object to be photographed and color carrier frequency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention uses a semi-transmissive mirror and a birefringent low-pass filter as a part of the optical system in a conventional video camera of this type using a frequency separation method. The plane including the normal line of the reflecting surface of the transmitting mirror and the optical axis of the photographing optical system was arranged so as to face in the same direction or at right angles to the horizontal scanning direction of the image pickup tube. That is, the finder system was placed directly above or next to the video camera. Even if the semi-transparent film is a metal film or a non-metal film, the transmission ratio of the semi-transparent mirror differs depending on the polarization components of the P component and the S component. On the other hand, a birefringent plate has a property of separating an incident light beam into an ordinary light beam and an extraordinary light beam by 1 sK depending on the direction of vibration of the light beam, and emitting the same, and video cameras use this property as a low-pass filter.

Therefore, if the ratio of the P component and the S component of the light incident on the birefringent plate is different, the transmission ratio of the ordinary ray and the extraordinary ray of the emitted light will be different, so the birefringent plate cannot fully demonstrate its performance as a low-pass filter. It's going to disappear.

As a means to solve these shortcomings,
No. 499 proposes a method of inserting a correction plate in the front part of the birefringent plate. However, inserting a new optical member requires adjustment of its axis alignment and causes a decrease in the transmittance of the entire optical system, which is not very desirable.

The present invention prevents a birefringent plate from deteriorating its performance as a low-pass filter due to an imbalance in the transmission ratio of the P component and S component when a semi-transmissive mirror is used as part of the optical system, and improves the spatial frequency and color of the subject. The object of the present invention is to provide an optical system for a video camera that eliminates false color signals based on carrier frequency confusion.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the optical arrangement of a semi-transmissive mirror 1 and a birefringent plate 2 in a conventional video camera 2. As shown in FIG. 1& is a semi-transparent surface. The transmission ratio of the P component and the S component of the light transmitted through the semi-transmissive mirror differs regardless of the method of extracting the finder light beam in either the vertical cross-sectional direction or the horizontal cross-sectional direction of the semi-transmissive surface 1a. Therefore, the light transmitted through the birefringent plate 2 has a different transmission ratio between the ordinary ray 4 and the extraordinary ray 5, making it impossible to fully exhibit its performance as an optical low-pass filter.

It is easy to understand that if the semi-transparent mirror is rotated 90 degrees from its standard position, the transmission ratio of the P and S components will be reversed, so if it is rotated 45 degrees, the P and S components may become equal. . In this state, the transmission ratio of the ordinary ray 4 and the extraordinary ray 5 separated by the birefringent plate becomes equal, so that the birefringent plate 2 fully exhibits its performance as a low-pass filter.
