RELAY SYSTEM AND PROJECTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240288762 titled 'RELAY SYSTEM AND PROJECTOR
The patent application describes a relay system that connects an enlargement-side image formation plane to a reduction-side image formation plane, with the relay system having concave and convex reflection surfaces arranged in a specific sequence.
- The relay system includes a concave first reflection surface, a convex second reflection surface, and a concave third reflection surface.
- The optical axes of the enlargement-side and reduction-side image formation planes are parallel to each other.
- The beams travel from the enlargement side towards the reduction side, with different radii of curvature for the first and third reflection surfaces.
- Each reflection surface has an aspheric shape, and both enlargement-side and reduction-side portions of the relay system are telecentric.
Potential Applications: - Optical imaging systems - Medical imaging devices - Surveillance cameras
Problems Solved: - Efficiently transferring images between different planes - Maintaining image quality during the transfer process
Benefits: - Improved image resolution - Enhanced optical performance - Compact design for space-saving applications
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Optical Relay System for High-Resolution Imaging Devices This technology can be used in high-end cameras, medical imaging equipment, and industrial inspection systems to enhance image quality and overall performance.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the relay system improve image resolution in optical devices? 2. What are the key advantages of using aspheric reflection surfaces in the relay system?
Original Abstract Submitted
a relay system couples an enlargement-side image formation plane to a reduction-side image formation plane that is a reduced enlargement-side image formation plane. the relay system has a concave first reflection surface, a convex second reflection surface, and a concave third reflection surface sequentially arranged in the direction in which the beams travel from the enlargement side toward the reduction side. the optical axis of the enlargement-side image formation plane and the optical axis of the reduction-side image formation plane are parallel to each other. the direction in which the beams are incident on the enlargement-side image formation plane is opposite the direction in which the beams are incident on the reduction-side image formation plane. the first and third reflection surfaces have different radii of curvature. the first, second, and third reflection surfaces each have an aspheric shape. enlargement-side and reduction-side portions of the relay system are telecentric portions.
