Abstract

An equivalent lens is a lens which has the same total power of refraction and the same paraxial imaging characteristics for the marginal rays as another lens, but has a different axial thickness. In this study, an analytic lens conversion from a thick lens to its equivalent lens is investigated, then it is shown that the equivalent lens is a solution of a quadratic equation. Every thick lens corresponds to one of two real roots of this quadratic equation. Therefore, except in the case of a unique solution, the equation has a conjugate solution, the other of the two roots. The conjugate solution has the same axial thickness, power, and paraxial imaging characteristics, but it has different shape and aberration characteristics. The characteristics of an equivalent lens and its conjugate solution are examined by using a sample lens.

등가렌즈는 전체굴절능과 주변광선에 대한 근축광학적 특성은 같지만 축상두께가 다른 렌즈이다. 이 연구에서는 두꺼운 렌즈를 등가렌즈로 변환하는 해석적인 방법에 대하여 연구하였고, 변환조건이 2차방정식의 해로서 주어짐을 보였다. 모든 두꺼운 렌즈는 유일해인 경우를 제외하면 이 2차방정식의 두 실근중의 하나이기 때문에 반드시 공액해가 1개 존재한다. 이 공액해는 축성 두께와 근축광학적 특성은 같지만 모양과 수차특성은 다르다. 예제 렌즈의 등가렌즈 변환을 통하여 등가렌즈와 이에 대응하는 공액해의 특성을 살펴보았다.
