Generally, a thermal imaging device is a device that detects infrared rays emitted by a person or an object and displays the image as an image, whereby the position and the dynamics of a person or an object can be grasped at night or in a place without light.

However, the infrared ray is a general glass lens and the infrared ray-exclusive lens made of a material such as germanium (Ge), zinc sulfide (ZnS), zinc selenide (ZnSe), chalcogenide, etc. is adopted because the transmittance is low due to low transmittance. These infrared lenses are characterized by a large change in refractive index depending on the temperature and a relatively small dispersion capability of the material compared with the materials used in the visible light region, and the DOE lens reduces the chromatic aberration of the optical system and reduces the size.

In other words, the optical performance of the thermal imager can be reduced by reducing the chromatic aberration and the size of the optical system by using the DOE lens.

The first lens 10 has a convex surface R1 having positive refractive power on the object side and a concave surface R2 having negative refractive power on the upper side and is formed with a negative magnification as a whole.

Further, the first lens 10 preferably has a high refractive index so as to adjust the light of thermal infrared rays, and is made of a germanium (Germanium) lens which is resistant to impact due to the characteristics exposed to the external environment and has no heavy metal exposure during processing. .

A convex surface R3 having a positive refractive power is formed on the object side in a state where the second lens 20 is disposed behind the first lens 10 and a concave surface R4 having a negative refractive power And is formed with a positive magnification as a whole.

The third lens 30 is disposed on the rear side of the second lens 20 and has a concave surface R5 having a negative refracting power on the object side and a concave surface R6 And is formed with a positive magnification as a whole.

A convex surface R7 having a positive refractive power is formed on the object side in a state in which the fourth lens 40 is disposed behind the third lens 30 and a concave surface R8 having a positive refractive power And is formed with a positive magnification as a whole.
