This condition was put into the calculation in common ray-tracing and thus to achieve an aplantic ray aiming (instead of paraxial ray aiming).

In paraxial optics, these surfaces are planes, normal to the optical axis. The point where the plane intersects the optical axis is the cardinal point corresponding to that cardinal plane. The six special planes are: First Focal Plane Second Focal Plane First Principle Plane Second Principle Plane First Nodal Plane Second Nodal Plane Once we know the location of these special planes, relative to the physical location of the lenses in the system, we can describe all of the paraxial imaging properties of the system.

All provide low optical distortion and a high degree of telecentricity for maximum, accurate im- age reproduction, particularly when viewing three-dimensional objects. Benefi ts of Telecentric Lenses One of the most important benefi ts of a telecentric lens is that image magnifi ca- tion does not change as object distance varies. A telecentric lens views and displays the entire object from the same prospective angle, therefore, three-di- mensional features will not exhibit the perspective distortion and image position errors present when using a standard lens. Objects inside deep holes are visible throughout the fi eld, undistorted, therefore, telecentric lenses are extremely useful for inspecting three-dimensional objects or scenes where image size and shape accuracy are critical. Choose the Best Lens Option for Your Needs Our machine vision telecentric lenses include the 12X Telecentric Zoom system, the TC-5028 and TEC-M55 telecentric video lens. Our single-sided lenses, the In- varigon-R™, Macro Invaritar™, ELWD Macro Invaritar™ and Invaritar Large Field telecentric lenses are avail- able with several diff erent accessories that enhance the performance of the lenses.

    Y. Sekman, X. Lu, H. Gross Friedrich Schiller University Jena Institute of Applied Physics Albert-Einstein-Str 15 07745 Jena Lens Design I – Seminar 1 Exercise 1-1: Stair-mirror-setup (Homework) Setup a system with a stair mirror pair, which decenters an incoming collimated ray bundle with 10 mm diameter by 40 mm in the -y direction. The wavelength of the beam is = 632.8 nm. After this pair of mirrors, a decentered main objective lens with focal length f = 200 mm made of BK7 is located 25 mm below the optical axis and focusses the beam. a) Setup the system b) Generate layout drawings in 2D and in 3D. c) Calculate the beam cross section on the second mirror, what is the size of the pattern? d) Determine the optimal final sensor plane location. Calculate the spot of the focused beam. Discuss the shape of this pattern. Exercise 1-2: Symmetrical 4f-system Setup a telecentric 4f-imaging system with two identical plano-convex lenses made of BK7 with thickness d = 10 mm and approximate focal lengths f = 100 mm. The wavelength of the system is = 546.07 nm and the numerical aperture in the object space is NA = 0.2. The object has a diameter of 10 mm. a) If the setup is perfectly symmetrical, determine the layout and the spot diagram of the system. b) Optimize the image location. Why is the spot size improved? c) If the starting aperture is decreased, the system becomes more and more close to diffraction limited. What is the value of the NA to get a diffraction limited system on axis? Take in mind here, that a re-focussing might be necessary due to the lowered spherical aberrations, which depends on the aperture.

Fix the wavelength to = 546.07 nm. a) Add a thin mensicus shaped lens behind the system with an arteficial refractive index of n = 2 to enlarge the numerical aperture by a factor of 2 without introducing spherical aberration. To achieve this, the surfaces must be aplanatic and concentric. b) Now reduce the numerical aperture to a diameter of 2 mm and set a folding mirror in the front focal plane of the system. The incoming beam should be come from below and is deflected to the right side. c) Generate a multi-configuration system for a scan system by rotating the mirror. The first coordinate break angle can take the values -50°, -47.5°, -45°, -42.5° and -40°. The second coordinate break should be defined by a pick up with a resulting bending angle of the system axis of -90°. d) The chief ray of the scan system is telecentric in the paraxial approximation. Due to the residual aberrations of the system, there is a deviation from the telecentricity in the real system. Show this by a correponding universal plot. e) Show the variation of the spot in the image plane by using the slider.

  • The Basic Purpose of a Lens of Any Kind Is to Collect the Light Scattered by an Object and Recreate an Image of the Object on A
    Optics he basic purpose of a lens of any kind is to collect the light scattered by an object and recreate Tan image of the object on a light-sensitive ‘sensor’ (usually CCD or CMOS based). A certain number of parameters must be considered when choosing optics, depending on the area that must be imaged (field of view), the thickness of the object or features of interest (depth of field), the lens to object distance (working distance), the intensity of light, the optics type (telecentric/entocentric/pericentric), etc. The following list includes the fundamental parameters that must be evaluated in optics • Field of View (FoV): total area that can be viewed by the lens and imaged onto the camera sensor. • Working distance (WD): object to lens distance where the image is at its sharpest focus. • Depth of Field (DoF): maximum range where the object appears to be in acceptable focus. • Sensor size: size of the camera sensor’s active area. This can be easily calculated by multiplying the pixel size by the sensor resolution (number of active pixels in the x and y direction). • Magnification: ratio between sensor size and FoV. • Resolution: minimum distance between two points that can still be distinguished as separate points. Resolution is a complex parameter, which depends primarily on the lens and camera resolution. www.opto-engineering.com Optics basics Lens approximations and equations he main features of most optical systems can be calculated with a few parameters, provided that some approximation is accepted. TThe paraxial approximation requires that only rays entering the optical system at small angles with respect to the optical axis are taken into account.
