The laser beam shaping system which can convert Gaussian beam to flat-top beam has been widely applied in laser illuminating, laser materials processing and laser medical treatment, etc. For the application of laser illuminating, a laser beam shaping system with simple structure and high efficiency was developed, which used two aspherical lenses to convert the 2 mm waist diameter Gaussian beam to a flat-top beam. To achieve a long-distance illuminating for different object positions, the shaped laser beam divergence angle is required variable. Therefore, a continuous zoom lens which had the zoom ratio of 18.4:1.04 was added to the front of the aspherical lenses. By moving the axial positions of the zoom lens, the continuous change of the beam divergence angle can be achieved. With the aid of ZEMAX software, this laser beam shaping system was simulated and optimized. The simulation results showed that the beam divergence angle can be continuously changed in 1°~18°, while the laser facular area energy distribution keeping uniform of 5m, 45m and 65m illuminating distances, which can satisfy the different long-distances laser illuminating requirements.
Due to the biological multi mode identification technology, a novel fingerprint and finger vein multiple images acquisition optical system is developed and described. The fingerprint and finger vein imaging systems contain respectively 3 and 12 spherical lenses, which work at 650nm and 850nm wavelength with a 640×480 CCD and a 640×512 uncooled IR detector as the imaging devices. With the aid of ZEMAX software, the optical systems were designed and optimized to cause a good imaging quality. The MTF value of the fingerprint imaging lens is above 0.6 at 67lp/mm, while the finger vein imaging lens is above 0.8 at 30lp/mm. The spot diagrams’ RMS radiuses of the two lenses are all much smaller than the detectors’ pixel size, which are close to the diffraction limit. Both the two lenses have distortions less than 0.5%. The experiments proved that this optical system has the merits of fine image quality and high resolution with compact structures and low cost.
Infrared imaging lens is one of the key components of a video security camera. A novel long-wave infrared continuous zoom lens is developed based on the 640×512 high resolution uncooled infrared thermal detector which can substitute the high cost cooled infrared detector. The zoom lens contains five germanium lens and one chalcogenide glass lens, which working in the wavelength range of 8~12 μm. Its F number range is in 1~ 1.1 while the focus length is changing from 20 to 120 mm. Based on the zoom lens design theory, the positive lens mechanical compensation structure is used to calculate the optical parameters and optimize the cam zoom curve, which can have a smooth continuous zoom in the range of all focus lengths. The image analysis show that the system has achieved the modulation transfer function (MTF) value above 0.45 which spatial frequency is 30 lp/mm. The spot diagrams RMS radius is less than 6.3μm which is near the diffraction limit. The real test photos indicate that the lens has the advantages of high resolution, large aperture, smooth zoom and stable image plane. Due to the high image quality and low cost, the continuous zoom lens is easily to be fabricated.
