Abstract

A subminiature catadioptric omnidirectional optical system (SCOOS) with 2 mirrors, 6 plastic aspherical lenses, and an illumination system of 6 light emitting diodes, to observe the 360° panoramic image of the inner intestine, is optically designed and evaluated for a capsule endoscope. The total length, overall length, half field of view (HFOV), and F-number of the SCOOS are 14.3 mm, 8.93 mm, 51°~120°, and 3.5, respectively. The optical system has a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor sensor with 0.1 megapixels, and an illumination system of 6 light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with 0.25 lm to illuminate on the 360° side view of the intestine along the optical axis. As a result, the spatial frequency at the modulation transfer function (MTF) of 0.3, the depth of focus, and the cumulative probability of tolerance at the Nyquist frequency of 44 lp/mm and MTF of 0.3 of the optimized optical system are obtained as 130 lp/mm, -0.097 mm to +0.076 mm, and 90.5%, respectively. Additionally, the simulated illuminance of the LED illumination system at the inner surface of the intestine within HFOV, at a distance of 15.0 mm from the optical axis, is from a minimum of 315 lx to a maximum of 725 lx, which is a sufficient illumination and visibility.

측면 360° 조명을 위한 6개의 LED (light emitting diode)로 구성된 조명계가 부착된 캡슐내시경용 초소형 반사굴절식 전방위 광학계를 설계하고 성능을 평가하였다. 이 광학계의 총 길이, 전장길이, 반화각(HFOV: half field of view), F-수는 각각 14.3 mm, 8.93 mm, 51°~120°, 3.5로 설계되었다. 이 전방위 광학계는 0.1 megapixels의 CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) 센서를 사용하였으며, LED 조명계는 한 개당 0.25 lm의 LED 6개를 사용하여 광축을 따라 놓여 있는 내장의 내벽을 조명하도록 하였다. 이 결과, 최적화 설계된 광학계의 변조전달함수 0.3에서의 공간주파수, 나이퀴스트 주파수인 44 lp/mm와 0.3의 변조전달함수에서 공차에 따른 누적확률, 초점심도는 각각 130 lp/mm, 95%, -0.097 mm~+0.076 mm이다. 또한 광학계의 시야각 범위 내에서 LED 조명계에 의한 광축으로부터 물체거리가 15 mm인 내장의 내벽에서의 시뮬레이션된 조도는 최소 315 lx~최대 725 lx로 내장의 내벽을 촬영할 수 있는 조도와 가시도임을 알 수 있다.
