Zoom Auxiliary Imaging Lens Design for a Modulation Transfer Function Test System by Yicheng Sheng, Sihan Xu, Caishi Zhang, Binghua Su, Dingxiang Cao, Zhe Chen

“…In this paper, we propose a zoom auxiliary imaging lens based on the four-component mechanical zoom method for a modulation transfer function (MTF) test system. The auxiliary imaging lenses of the current MTF test system typically use fixed-focus optical systems, which are unable to meet the test scenarios of fast and batch measurement and measure lenses with an extensive focal length range. …”
