Optical apparatus having optical anti-shake function
An optical apparatus of the present invention includes shake detectors 25 p and 25 y which detect a shake, electro-optic elements eo 1 and eo 2 which constitute a part of the optical system and change refractive-index distributions by an electro-optic effect in accordance with an applied voltage, and a drive unit 23 which applies a voltage to the electro-optic element so as to reduce an image blur detected by the shake detectors.
1. An optical apparatus having an optical system, comprising:
a shake detector configured to detect a shake;
an electro-optic element, including a KTN crystal, constituting a part of the optical system and configured to change a refractive-index distribution by an electro-optic effect in accordance with an applied voltage;
a drive unit configured to apply a voltage to the electro-optic element so as to reduce an image blur caused by the shake detected by the shake detector; and
an anti-shake unit configured separately from the electro-optic element to reduce the image blur detected by the shake detector.
2. An optical apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the drive unit drives the electro-optic element so as to reduce the image blur caused by a shake in a high-frequency as compared with the anti-shake unit provided separately from the electro-optic element.
3. An optical apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a photosensitive member configured to record an object image formed by the optical system.
4. An optical apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the drive unit drives the electro-optic element so as to reduce an image blur caused by the shake in a frequency range higher than 100 Hz.
5. An optical apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the anti-shake unit shifts a lens.
6. An optical apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the anti-shake unit shifts an image pickup element.
7. An optical apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the electro-optic element generates a concentric refractive-index distribution inside the electro-optic element.
