OPTICAL IMAGING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18419882 titled 'OPTICAL IMAGING SYSTEM

The optical imaging system described in the patent application consists of a series of six lenses arranged in a specific configuration to achieve certain optical parameters.

  • The system must satisfy the conditions of 0.35<R1/f<0.40, N2+N3+N4>4.8, and TTL/(2*IMG HT)<0.70.
  • R1 is the radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the first lens, f is the overall focal length of the system, N2, N3, and N4 are refractive indices of specific lenses, TTL is the distance from the first lens to the image sensor, and IMG HT is half of the diagonal length of the image sensor.
  • The arrangement and specifications of the lenses in the system are crucial to meet the required optical performance criteria.

Potential Applications:

  • This optical imaging system could be used in digital cameras, medical imaging devices, and other imaging systems that require high-quality optical performance.
  • It may find applications in scientific research, astronomy, and industrial imaging where precise and accurate imaging is essential.

Problems Solved:

  • The system addresses the challenge of achieving specific optical parameters such as focal length, refractive indices, and distance between lenses to ensure optimal imaging performance.
  • By meeting the specified conditions, the system can produce high-resolution and sharp images with minimal aberrations.

Benefits:

  • Improved image quality and sharpness due to the optimized optical design.
  • Enhanced performance in various imaging applications leading to better results and accuracy in image capture.

Commercial Applications:

  • The optical imaging system could be integrated into consumer electronics like smartphones, tablets, and digital cameras to enhance their imaging capabilities.
  • It may also have potential uses in the medical field for diagnostic imaging equipment and in industrial settings for quality control and inspection processes.

Questions about the Optical Imaging System: 1. How does the specific arrangement of lenses contribute to the overall optical performance of the system? 2. What are the key factors that determine the refractive indices of the lenses in the system?


Original Abstract Submitted

An optical imaging system includes: a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens sequentially arranged from an object side. The optical imaging system satisfies 0.35<R1/f<0.40; N2+N3+N4>4.8; and TTL/(2*IMG HT)<0.70, where R1 is a radius of curvature of an object-side surface of the first lens, f is an overall focal length of the optical imaging system including the first to sixth lenses, N2 is a refractive index of the second lens, N3 is a refractive index of the third lens, N4 is a refractive index of the fourth lens, TTL is a distance from the object-side surface of the first lens to an image capturing surface of an image sensor, and IMG HT is half of a diagonal length of the image capturing surface of the image sensor.
