Study and Design of Hybrid Triplet Lens

Abstract

This study presents a new method for designing algorithm for a triplet lens with one or two elements that are made of a gradient index medium (GRIN). This method is based upon considering a well-known designed triplet lens (Cooke triplet lens) as a target lens for designing of the Hybrid Triplet Lens (HTL). Our design was based upon keeping the total optical path length for the axial ray fixed for each case of design. The results showed that several designs for the HTL have the same total powers of the target lens. These designs depend on the variation of the GRIN element parameter values and the order of the GRIN element position in the system. These HTL designs have been evaluated by considering several optical merit functions, i.e., the root mean square (RMS) spot radius, wave front error and the spherical aberration. To achieve the optimal design, these functions are compared for the target lens and the HTL designs through a wide range of field angles.

Wide Field of View Under-Panel Optical Lens Design for Fingerprint Recognition of Smartphone

“…A three-lens-element architecture as shown in Figure 2 a provides a solution for meeting the image quality requirements in fingerprint recognition [ 9 ]. These lens elements are sequentially negative, positive, and positive diopters to involve considering the following features: (a) lens 1 has a negative diopter, allowing the optical system to enhance the FOV and improve distortion; (b) lens 2 has a positive diopter, assisting lens 1 in improving the FOV, correcting distortion, and controlling the diameter of lens 1; (c) combining lens 3 with a positive diopter and a smaller focal length achieves focusing and controls the overall length of the lens; (d) the aperture is positioned between lens two and lens three, enabling an increase in aperture size and enhancement of image height; (e) this architecture effectively corrects Petzval [ 17 ].…”

Realization of a cost-effective 3D-printed lens for aberration correction for visible spectrum imaging

“…In a Cooke triplet design, five Seidel aberrations are removed with the help of three glasses separated by air [7][8][9][10]. The triplet design also consists of a flint glass and a crown glass [11][12][13]. The triplet has a flint glass in the middle, acting as a concave lens (negative element), whereas the crown glass, acting as a convex lens (positive element), comes at both sides [14][15][16].…”
