TABLE 5

The lens provided by the embodiment is further described below by performing a detailed optical system analysis on the embodiment.

The optical transfer function is used for evaluating the imaging quality of an optical system in a more accurate, visual and common mode, and the higher and smoother curve of the optical transfer function indicates that the imaging quality of the system is better, and aberration is well corrected.

As shown in fig. 2, a graph of an optical transfer function (MTF) of the lens provided in embodiment 1 in a normal temperature state in a visible light band;

as shown in fig. 3, a field curvature and distortion diagram in the visible light band of the lens provided for embodiment 1;

as shown in fig. 4, a transverse fan diagram of the lens provided in embodiment 1 in the visible light band;

as shown in fig. 5, a dot arrangement diagram of the lens provided for embodiment 1 in the visible light band;

as shown in fig. 6, a graph of an optical transfer function (MTF) of the lens provided in embodiment 2 in a normal temperature state in a visible light band;

as shown in fig. 7, a field curvature and distortion diagram in the visible light band of the lens provided for embodiment 2;

as shown in fig. 8, a lateral fan diagram of the lens provided in embodiment 2 in the visible light band;

as shown in fig. 9, a dot array diagram of the lens provided for embodiment 2 in the visible light band is provided.

As can be seen from fig. 2, the optical transfer function (MTF) curve of the lens in the normal temperature state in the visible light portion is smooth and concentrated, and the average MTF value of the full field of view (half-image height Y' =4.4 mm) is more than 0.6; it can be seen that the lens provided by embodiment 1 of the present invention can meet higher imaging requirements.

As can be seen from fig. 6, the optical transfer function (MTF) curve of the lens in the visible light portion at normal temperature state is relatively smooth and concentrated, and the average MTF value of the full field (half image height Y' =4.4 mm) reaches above 0.6; it can be seen that the lens provided by embodiment 2 of the present invention can meet higher imaging requirements.

As can be seen from fig. 3 and 7, the curvature of field of the lens is controlled within ± 0.05 mm. As can be seen from fig. 3, the field curvature of the fixed focus lens provided in embodiment 1 of the present invention is within 0.04mm, and as can be seen from fig. 7, the field curvature of the fixed focus lens provided in embodiment 2 of the present invention is within 0.03 mm. The curvature of field is also called as "field curvature". When the lens has field curvature, the intersection point of the whole light beam is not overlapped with an ideal image point, and although a clear image point can be obtained at each specific point, the whole image plane is a curved surface. T represents the meridional field curvature, and S represents the sagittal field curvature. The field curvature curve shows the distance of the current focal plane or image plane to the paraxial focal plane as a function of field coordinates, and the meridional field curvature data is the distance from the currently determined focal plane to the paraxial focal plane measured along the Z axis and measured in the meridional (YZ plane). Sagittal curvature of field data measures distances measured in a plane perpendicular to the meridian plane, the base line in the schematic is on the optical axis, the top of the curve represents the maximum field of view (angle or height), and no units are set on the vertical axis, since the curve is always normalized by the maximum radial field of view.

As can be seen from fig. 3 and 7, the lens distortion control is better, within-5%. In general, lens distortion is actually a general term of perspective distortion inherent in an optical lens, that is, distortion due to perspective, and the distortion is very unfavorable for the imaging quality of a photograph, and after all, the purpose of photography is to reproduce rather than exaggerate, but because the distortion is inherent in a lens (converging light rays of a convex lens and diverging light rays of a concave lens), the distortion cannot be eliminated and can only be improved. As can be seen from fig. 3, the distortion of the lens provided in embodiment 1 of the present invention is only-4.4%, and the distortion of the lens provided in embodiment 2 of the present invention is only-3.8%, so that the distortion is set to balance the focal length, the field angle and the size of the target surface of the corresponding camera, and the distortion caused by the distortion can be corrected by the post-image processing.

As can be seen from fig. 4 and 8, the curves in the sector diagrams are more concentrated, and the spherical aberration and the chromatic dispersion of the lens are better controlled. In fig. 4 and 8, EX denotes an X-direction aberration, EY denotes a Y-direction aberration, PX denotes normalized X-direction pupil coordinates, and PY denotes normalized Y-direction pupil coordinates.

As can be seen from fig. 5 and 9, the lens has a small and relatively concentrated light spot radius, and the corresponding aberration and coma are also good.

In summary, the embodiments of the present invention provide an optical lens with low cost, large target surface, large aperture and high imaging definition. The imaging system adopts 8 optical lenses with specific structural shapes, and the optical lenses are arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side according to a specific sequence, and the imaging system can realize better distortion control and excellent imaging characteristics through the distribution and combination of specific optical powers of the optical lenses.
