Telephoto optical imaging system and zoom camera apparatus
The granted patent US12044834B2 describes a telephoto optical imaging system designed to enhance imaging capabilities through a specific arrangement of optical components. The system includes a first lens with positive refractive power and a second lens with negative refractive power, which work in conjunction with an optical path turning prism. This prism features an incident surface that is perpendicular to the axis of the second lens and an exit surface that is perpendicular to the incident surface. The imaging light is reflected at two surfaces of the prism before being emitted perpendicularly, and a triangular prism further deflects the light by 90 degrees towards the image side. The patent outlines specific parameters, such as the relationship between the distance from the object-side surface of the first lens to the imaging plane and the total effective focal length, as well as constraints on the refractive indices of the lenses.
Additionally, the patent includes claims for a zoom camera apparatus that incorporates the described telephoto optical imaging system alongside a short-focus optical imaging system. The relationship between the focal lengths of the two systems is defined, ensuring that the telephoto system has a significantly longer focal length compared to the short-focus system. The claims also specify various geometric and optical parameters, such as the angle between surfaces of the optical path turning prism and the effective diameter of the incident surface, which are critical for optimizing the performance of the imaging system. Overall, the patent presents a detailed configuration aimed at improving telephoto imaging through innovative optical design.
