본 논문에서는 회절광학소자를 이용하여 컴팩트형 디지털 스틸 카메라용 광학계를 설계 및 평가하였다. 기존의 디지털 스틸 카메라용 광학계가 retrofocus 형태인 것에 비해 컴팩트한 광학계를 얻기 위해서 telephoto 형태로 구성하였다. 또한, 본 광학계를 회절광학소자와 굴절광학소자가 결합된 hybrid 플라스틱 렌즈 1매와 순수한 굴절광학소자 1매로 구성하여 무게, 부피등을 줄이고자 하였다. Gauss 괄호를 이용한 근축 광선추적을 통해 초기 설계치를 수치 해석적인 방법으로 구하였다. 제1면을 비구면화하고, 색수차를 보정하기 위해 제2면을 회절광학소자를 이용하여 설계된 광학계는 1/4" CCD, F/4에 대응되도록 최적화하였다. 최종적으로 설계된 광학계의 초점거리는 3.89mm, 전장(overall length)은 5.19mm로서 컴팩트하며, 현재의 디지털스틸 카메라용 광학계에서 요구하는 성능을 충분히 만족하며, 차세대 화상통신용 광학계에 응용될 수 있을것으로 기대된다.

This paper presents a new method for designing a lens system stable against chromatic variation at a specified wavelength. Conventional lenses are corrected for chromatic aberration, but the new method suppresses chromatic changes of the marginal ray in the image-side. By doing so, paraxial properties of the lens system are stabilized against chromatic variation. Since the new method is based on paraxial ray tracing, the stabilizing conditions against chromatic variation are given by recurrence formulas. However, there is an analytic solution for the case of a cemented doublet in the air. A stable doublet at 405 nm wavelength is designed and analyzed.

특정한 파장대역에서 파장변화에 따른 굴절능의 변화를 1차, 2차 미분까지 보정하여 기준파장과 그 인근 파장 대역에서 굴절능의 변화가 매우 적도록 안정화된 광학계를 설계하는 방법에 대하여 연구하고, 이를 적용하여 회절한계의 시준렌즈를 설계하였다. 설계된 광학계는 파장 변화에 대하여 매우 안정하였고, 파장 360~410 nm 대역에서 유효초점거리의 변화가 0.002% 이내로 매우 적었다.

We propose a new graphical method for selecting a pair of optical and housing materials to simultaneously athermalize and achromatize an LWIR optical system. To have a much better opportunity to select the IR glasses and housing materials, an athermal glass map is expanded by introducing the DOE with negative chromatic power. Additionally, from the depth of focus in an LWIR optical system, the tolerable housing boundary is provided to realize an athermal and achromatic system even for not readily available housing material. Thus, we can effectively determine a pair of optical and housing materials by reducing the thermal shift to be less than the depth of focus. By applying this method to design a night vision camera lens, the chromatic and thermal defocuses are reduced to less than the depth of focus, over the specified waveband and temperature ranges.

This paper presents a new graphical method for selecting a pair of optical glass and housing materials to simultaneously achromatize and athermalize a multilens system composed of many elements. To take into account the lens spacing and housing, we quantify the lens power, chromatic power, and thermal power by weighting the ratio of the paraxial ray height at each lens to them. In addition, we introduce the equivalent single lens and the expanded athermal glass map including a housing material. Even though a lens system is composed of many elements, we can simply identify a pair of glass and housing materials that satisfies the athermal and achromatic conditions. Applying this method to design a black box camera lens equipped with a 1/4-inch image sensor having a pixel width of $2{\mu}m$, the chromatic and thermal defocusings are reduced to less than the depth of focus, over the specified ranges in temperature and frequency.

We present a graphical method for determining a pair of optical materials and powers to design an achromatic and athermal lens system with corrected Petzval curvature. To graphically obtain the solutions, a three-dimensional (3D) glass chart is proposed. Even if a particular material combination is unavailable, we can select an element suitable for a specific lens and continuously change the element powers of an equivalent single lens for aberrations correction. Thus, we can iteratively identify the materials and powers on a 3D glass chart. By designing a fisheye lens using this method, an achromatic and athermal system with flat Petzval curvature is obtained, over the specified waveband and temperature ranges.

This paper presents a new graphical method for selecting a pair of optical glasses to simultaneously achromatize and athermalize an imaging lens made of materials in contact. An athermal glass map that plots thermal glass constant versus inverse Abbe number is derived through analysis of optical glasses and plastic materials in visible light. By introducing the equivalent Abbe number and equivalent thermal glass constant, although it is a multi-lens system, we have a simple way to visually identify possible optical materials. Applying this method to design a phone camera lens equipped with quarter inch image sensor having 8-mega pixels, the thermal defocuses over $-20^{\circ}C$ to $+60^{\circ}C$ are reduced to be much less than the depth of focus of the system.

This paper presents a new method for redistributing effectively the first orders of each lens element to achromatize and athermalize an optical system, by introducing a novel method for adjusting the slope of an achromatic and athermal line. This line is specified by connecting the housing, equivalent single lens, and aberration-corrected point on a glass map composed of available plastic and glass materials for molding. Thus, if a specific lens is replaced with the material characterized by the chromatic and thermal powers of an aberration-corrected point, we obtain an achromatic and athermal system. First, we identify two materials that yield the minimum and maximum slopes of the line from a housing coordinate, which specifies the slope range of the line spanning the available materials on a glass map. Next, redistributing the optical first orders (optical powers and paraxial ray heights) of lens elements by moving the achromatic and athermal line into the available slope range of materials yields a good achromatic and athermal design. Applying this concept to design a mobile-phone camera lens, we efficiently obtain an achromatic and athermal system with cost-effective material selection, over the specified temperature and waveband ranges.
