| Summary: | The resolution performance of mobile phone camera optics was previously checked only near an infinite point. However, near-field performance is required because of reduced camera pixel sizes. Traditional optics are measured using a resolution chart located at a hyperfocal distance, which can only measure the resolution at a specific distance but not at close distances. We designed a new collimator system that can change the virtual image of the resolution chart from infinity to a short distance. Hence, some lenses inside the collimator systems must be moved. Currently, if the focusing lens is moved, chromatic aberration and field curvature occur. Additional lenses are required to correct this problem. However, the added lens must not change the characteristics of the proposed collimator. Therefore, an equivalent-lens conversion method was designed to maintain the first-order and Seidel aberrations. The collimator system proposed in this study does not move or change the resolution chart.
