Ideal optical system It can produce clear and completely similar images Imaging system light beam Articles in light Or its extension
The light beams whose lines all intersect at the same point are called Concentric beam After the incident concentric beam passes through an ideal optical system, the outgoing beam must also be concentric. The intersection points of incident and outgoing concentric beams are called object points and Iconography The ideal optical system has the following properties: ① After all the light rays passing through the object point pass through the optical system, the outgoing light rays all pass through the image point. vice versa. This pair visible image Interchangeable points are called Conjugate point 。② Each line of the object side corresponds to a line of the image side, which is called the conjugate line; The corresponding face is called conjugate face. ③ Any plane perpendicular to the optical axis, its conjugate plane is still optic axis Vertical. ④ A pair of conjugate planes perpendicular to the optical axis, transverse Magnification Is a constant. Research Ideal optical system Both sides of the above objects and images One-to-one correspondence The theory of relationship is called Gaussian optics First, German scientist C Gaussian It was stated in the 1841 book. In fact, there is no real ideal optical system. Coaxial spherical system Under the paraxial condition, it can approximately meet the requirements of an ideal optical system. [1]
Base point and base plane

Focus and focal plane
On the optical axis and at infinity Iconography conjugate The point of focus (or the first focus), recorded as F The point on the optical axis that is conjugate with the object point at infinity is called the image focus (or the second focus), which is recorded as F' adopt F and F The plane at 'and perpendicular to the optical axis is called object focal plane (first focal plane) and image focal plane (second focal plane). [1]
Main points and Main face
transverse Magnification A pair of conjugate surfaces equal to 1 is called the principal surface, and the intersection of the two principal surfaces and the optical axis is called Main point From the object focus F Any light emitted will become a light parallel to the optical axis after passing through the optical system, and extend this pair Conjugate ray Get its intersection M , the collection of the intersection points constitutes the main surface of the object (the first main surface), and the intersection point of the main surface and the optical axis H It is called the main point of the object side (the first main point). After the ray parallel to the optical axis enters, the outgoing ray intersects the image focus F' , extend the intersection of the pair of conjugate rays M' , the collection of the intersection points forms the main surface of the image square (the second main surface), which intersects with the optical axis H' It is called the main point of the image side (the second main point). Two principal surfaces are a pair of conjugate surfaces, and two principal points are a pair Conjugate point The height of any pair of conjugate points on the two main planes from the optical axis is equal Magnification Is 1.

For optical system light beam An optical element that acts as a limiting element. It's an optical element( lens reflector The frame itself can also be set with holes Transparent screen Diaphragm The center is usually on and perpendicular to the optical axis. [1]
Each part of the optical system Optical parts By their own Mirror frame In most cases, the light through hole is round. Sometimes, fixed or variable special optical holes are added to the system. In all these optical holes, there must be one optical hole to limit the point imaging beam on the axis Aperture angle The role of; In addition, there is a light hole for restriction Imaging range Role of. Such optical holes are called Diaphragm : The former is called Aperture diaphragm Or effective aperture; The latter is called Field aperture Any optical system must have such two apertures. [2]

Aperture diaphragm

Among multiple apertures, the limiting effect on the beam is the largest, that is, the aperture that determines the size of the imaging beam, also known as the effective aperture. Aperture diaphragm Can block the deviation in the beam Paraxial ray Larger light , iconical definition , accuracy, brightness and Depth of field And so on. [1]
Since the imaging beam of the point on the axis is limited by the aperture aperture, it is easy to imagine that when all the optical holes of the system are imaged into the object space through the optical parts in front of them, the image with the smallest opening angle of the object point on the axis, or Pawn At infinity, the aperture corresponding to the image with the smallest aperture must be an aperture. The image of aperture diaphragm in object space is called Entrance pupil , and its angle to the object point is called the beam of the object side Aperture angle Similarly, the aperture aperture is formed into an image in the image space by the optical parts behind it, which is called Exit pupil , it must also be on the opposite axis Iconography The opening angle is the smallest optical hole image, and this opening angle is the beam aperture angle of the image square. Incident pupil Aperture diaphragm And exit pupil conjugate Of. If the aperture is ignored aberration The incident pupil is the common entrance of the imaging beam at each point on the object surface; The exit pupil is the common exit of the imaging beam. The light passing through the center of the aperture diaphragm is called the main light. Because of the conjugate relationship, it also passes through the center of the entrance pupil and the center of the exit pupil. Therefore, generally speaking, the main ray is the imaging beam Centerline [2]
The position of the aperture diaphragm in an optical system is related to many factors. There are specific requirements in some systems, for example, the visual optical system must use Pupil be located eyepiece In addition, so that the pupil of the eye can coincide with it; In the telecentric system, the aperture diaphragm shall be located at focus On. In addition, the position of the aperture diaphragm is also related to the aberration correction and the transverse dimensions of the optical components of the system, which should be reasonably determined during the design. [2]

Field aperture

An aperture that determines the range of objects to be viewed. Field aperture Determinable field The size of the range. The image scale formed by the optical system in front of the field aperture Incident window The image formed by the rear system is called the exit window. [1]
The field aperture is an optical hole in an optical system that determines its imaging range. In a system with an intermediate real image plane (e.g Kepler telescope And microscope) and systems with real image planes (e.g Photography system )The field apertures are set on this image plane. The image of the field stop formed by the optical parts in front of it in the object space is called the incident window Entrance pupil The angle of the center is the smallest of all optical hole images. This angle is called Field angle Similarly, the image formed by the optical part behind the field stop in the image space is called the exit window. The entrance window, field aperture and exit window are also conjugate. When the field aperture is set on the real image plane or the middle real image plane, the entrance window and exit window coincide with the object plane and image plane respectively field There are clear boundaries. In None Real image Or the middle real image plane, such as eyes passing through magnifier or Galileo telescope When observing, there is always a part in the system Luminous aperture It limits the field of view. In the above two cases, the magnifying glass itself aperture And telescope objective lense The aperture of Field aperture Obviously, at this time, the incident window does not coincide with the object plane, and there is no clear field boundary. [2]

Relative aperture

Imaging instrument in objective lense diameter D And focal length f Ratio of. Used to describe the light collecting ability of objective lens physical quantity , because it looks like Luminous flux density And( D / f ) two become Proportional Relative aperture Of reciprocal call Aperture coefficient , or F number Photographic lenses are equipped with adjustable apertures (commonly known as aperture ), used to adjust the size of the relative aperture, so as to adjust Photosensitive film The luminous flux density on the. The lens is engraved with a series of F numbers, and the F number decreases by 2% of the original value -1/2 The luminous flux density is increased by 2 times. The general F-number series values are
1,1.4,2,2.8,4,5.6,8,11,16,22,…
The above values are calculated by the following formula (after rounding ):11
Aperture coefficient (F number)=(2 1/2 ) x

Ideally, the light beam All suffer Aperture diaphragm With basically the same beam Aperture angle , if field Not too big, the whole field of view Image illuminance Basically even. However, in the Actual optical system In the middle, the off-axis point imaging beam is often affected by other Optical parts As a result, the beam aperture angle of the off axis point is much smaller than that of the on axis point due to the limitation of the through hole. This is because the point outside the axis is also filled with Entrance pupil When the light beam is imaged, those far away from the aperture aperture lens It needs to have a fairly large diameter and Full aperture The off axis beam is corrected aberration It's also very difficult. Therefore, in order to improve the imaging quality of off-axis points and ensure that the transverse size of optical parts is not particularly large, it is often necessary to reduce the diameter of certain lenses to limit the off-axis beam. This phenomenon that the light beam full of the incident pupil emitted from the off-axis point is partially intercepted by some optical parts and cannot pass through the optical system completely is called the light beam Vignetting Off axis point separation optic axis The farther away, the more serious the interception phenomenon (i.e. vignetting) is, and the result is field Peripheral image plane illumination Greatly reduced. Of course, most optical systems allow a certain degree of vignetting. [2]

The imaging beam of the object point is a beam with the object point as the vertex Entrance pupil Bottom space Light cone After the beam passes through the optical system, its structure will change Axisymmetric optical system (The vast majority of systems belong to this category). The point beam on the axis always has symmetry, but Outer point The beam is out of symmetry after passing through the system. In order to understand the structure of this beam, the plane beam on its two characteristic planes is usually used to describe it.
The plane containing the off axis object point and the optical axis is called the meridian plane. Due to the axial symmetry Property: the off axis object points can always be located on the drawing plane, that is, the paper plane is the meridian plane. The beam on the meridian plane is called the meridian beam. Obviously, the main light must be one of the meridional beams light
The plane containing the main ray and perpendicular to the meridian plane is called sagittal Plane. The beam on the sagittal plane is called sagittal beam. Obviously, the main ray is the intersection line between the meridian plane and the sagittal plane. Since the main light passes through the refraction reflex And change its direction, so the sagittal plane also changes plane by plane rather than a unified plane.
Due to the axis of the optical system Symmetry On axis point beam does not need molecular noon beam and arc vector beam, and off axis point beam must be opposite to meridian Plane symmetry Of. [2]

There are 7 kinds of aberrations; yes Monochromatic light There are 5 kinds, namely Spherical aberration Coma Astigmatism and Image surface bending and distortion about Polychromatic light There are two more chromatic aberration , i.e axial Sum of chromatic aberration Vertical chromatic aberration It is designed to eliminate or reduce these aberrations as much as possible Optical set An important task of.
