The invention relates to a searching and tracking integrated
infrared zoom lens and an imaging method, and aims to solve the problems that the existing searching and tracking integrated
infrared zoom lens adopts a diffractive optical element to correct
chromatic aberration, so that the
system structure is relatively complicated, a
diffraction ring is generated on an image surface, and the
signal-to-
noise ratio and the imaging
contrast ratio are reduced. The lens comprises a front-end
telescope group, a sweep reflector and a rear-end
imaging lens group which are sequentially arranged along a light path, wherein the sweep reflector is used for compensating
image motion and expanding a
field angle. The front-end
telescope group comprises a first lens, a second lens, a third lens and a fourth lens which are sequentially arranged along a light path, the first lens is a
silicon positive lens, the second lens is a
germanium negative lens, the third lens is a
silicon positive lens, and the fourth lens is a
germanium negative lens; and the rear-end
imaging lens group comprises a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens and an eighth lens which are sequentially arranged along the light path, the fifth lens is a
sulfur positive lens, the sixth lens is a
silicon positive lens, the seventh lens is a
germanium negative lens, and the eighth lens is a silicon positive lens.
