METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ALIGNING A LENS WITH AN OPTICAL SYSTEM
The invention comprises a process for pre-aligning a lens with an optical system, the process comprising: providing a lens and an optical system having an optical axis, wherein the lens is apt to be aligned with the optical system to form on an image plane an image of a source object, the image having top, bottom, left and right edges; coarsely positioning the lens with respect to the optical system; and in a plane normal to the optical axis of the optical system, correcting the position of the lens until the values of four Combination Modulation Transfer Functions (C- MTF) are in predetermined ranges, the C-MTF being calculated at four coarse measurement locations situated close to the edges of the image along two coarse positioning axes crossing the center of the image, each for a combination pattern comprising a combination of a Sagittal pattern and a Tangential pattern.
A two-part glass lens has a first portion (32) made out of a glass material of a first type and a second portion (38) made out of a glass material of a second type. The first portion of the lens has a first side (34) with a first optical surface of the lens. A first side (42) of the second portion of the lens is directly assembled on a second side (36) of the first portion of the lens. An array of lenses comprises at least two lenses as above. A method is used to form the lens or the array of lenses.
The present technology relates generally to the manufacturing of optical lenses used in the fabrication of optical modules, such as for miniature camera, as the camera used in mobile phones. More particularly, the present technology relates to devices and methods for manufacturing arrays of lenses.
