- Conditional expression (1) defines the appropriate range of the air gap D between the first lens and the second lens as a percentage of the focal point 'f. If this conditional expression (1) is satisfied, an optical system having good optical properties can be obtained even if the total length is shortened. If D / f exceeds the upper limit of conditional expression (1), the total length of the optical system becomes too long, and the generation of force and off-axis aberration that impairs downsizing increases. There arises a disadvantage that the image performance cannot be obtained. In particular, the coma aberration of the light ray 10 above the principal ray increases, and distortion tends to occur on the + side.
- conditional expression (1) the upper limit of 0 £ is 1.0 and the lower limit is 0.
- conditional expression (1) it is more preferable that the upper limit of DZf is 0.1 and the lower limit is 0.00: 3.
- the focal point 3 ⁇ 4 f of the entire optical system is calculated from the following equation (21) as a thin-walled synthetic focal point ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ where the focal point «of the first lens is f 1 and the focal point « of the second lens is 2. . Also, by transforming equation (21), equation (22) is obtained.
- Conditional expression (2) is such that if the value of DZ (f 1 X f 2) is small to near zero, the predetermined f 1 and It is shown that sufficient refractive power of the entire optical system can be obtained by using the first and second lenses for the value of f2. As a result, it is possible to obtain an optical system (for example, an eyepiece lens) having a large refractive power in which the length between the lenses is shortened to shorten the overall length.
- D / (f 1 f 2) exceeds the upper limit of conditional expression (2), the refractive power of the entire optical system becomes weak, and sufficient refractive power (magnification) cannot be obtained.
- the lens and the image plane are too close to each other, resulting in inconvenience that it is difficult to place a mirror or a prism.
- the distortion becomes too large on one side, and a good image cannot be obtained.
- the lenses come into contact with each other, there will be an inconvenience that interference fringes will appear in the vicinity of the optical axis and the lens surface will be damaged, so D / (f 1
- the lower limit of X f 2) is 0. In conditional expression (2), it is more preferable that the upper limit of DZ (f 1 X f 2) is 0.1.
- conditional expression (3) shows an appropriate balance regarding the total length, refractive power, and aberration of the optical system.
- D / (f 1 X f 2) exceeds the lower limit of conditional expression (3), the length between the lenses becomes longer and the total length becomes longer, and a compact optical system cannot be obtained. Furthermore, the distortion becomes too large on the + side, and a good image cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the lenses come into contact with each other, there will be inconveniences such as interference fringes in the vicinity of the optical axis and scratches on the lens surface, so the upper limit of D / (f 1 X f 2) is 0. . In conditional expression (3), it is more preferable to set the lower limit of (f 1 f 2) to _0.01.
- the difference in the Abbe number between the first optical element 51 and the second optical element 52 is defined as ⁇ d, and the refractive index at the d-line between the second optical element 51 and the second optical element 52 is
- ⁇ d the refractive index at the d-line between the second optical element 51 and the second optical element 52
- Conditional expression (4) is the Abbe's equation for materials with high refractive index and low dispersion and materials with high refractive index. Specify the appropriate range of the number difference ⁇ / d and the refractive index difference And. If the range defined by conditional expression (4) is not met, the height of the relief pattern can be obtained even in a contact multilayer diffractive optical element made of a material with high refractive index and low dispersion and a material with high refractive index and high dispersion. This causes inconveniences such as high diffraction and reduced diffraction efficiency for various wavelengths. In conditional expression (4), it is more preferable to set the upper limit of ⁇ ! / DZAn d to 800 and the lower limit to 100.
- the diffraction efficiency at the d-line of the multi-contact diffractive optical element is Ed
- the diffraction efficiency at the g-line of the multi-layer diffractive optical element is E g
- the C-line of the multi-layer diffractive optical element is
- Conditional expression (5) defines an appropriate range of diffraction efficiency in a broad wavelength range. Outside the range defined by conditional expression (5), the short-wavelength or long-wavelength lasing force diffraction efficiency decreases, and the diffraction flare increases and the image quality is impaired. Specifically, when Eg decreases, blue diffraction flare increases, and when EC decreases, red diffraction flare increases and image quality is impaired. In conditional expression (5), it is preferable to set the coefficient related to £ in the range of 0.8 to 0.98, but the value of 0.9 is an empirical value obtained by sampling a large number of people.
- the contact multilayer diffractive optical element provided on the optical surface of either the first lens or the second lens is symmetrical with respect to the optical axis, and the incident angle of the light ray (chief ray) passing through the outermost side is 10 If the effective diameter (diameter) of the diffractive optical surface is C and the focal point «I of the entire optical system is f, the following conditional expression (6) It is preferable to satisfy the condition represented by:
- Conditional expression (6) defines an appropriate range of the effective diameter (diameter) of the diffractive optical surface. If CZf exceeds the upper limit of conditional expression (6), the effective diameter becomes too large, making it difficult to produce a diffractive optical surface (relief pattern), leading to an increase in cost. In addition, harmful light from outside easily enters the diffractive optical surface, and image quality is liable to deteriorate due to flare and the like. On the other hand, when C / f exceeds the lower limit of conditional expression (6), the effective diameter of the lens on which the diffractive optical surface is provided becomes smaller and the pitch of the relief pattern becomes smaller, so that the diffractive optical surface (relief pattern) is manufactured.
- conditional expression (6) More preferably, the upper limit of / £ is 0.8 and the lower limit is 0.1.
- the surface facing the object side of the first lens is a concave surface
- the surface located on the opposite side to the object side of the first lens is a convex surface, and the surface is in close contact with one of these surfaces.
- Conditional expression (7) shows the relationship between the appropriate height h when forming a relief pattern with a low groove depth and the thickness d of the optical element. If hZd exceeds the upper limit of conditional expression (7), the height of the groove becomes relatively high, which not only makes it difficult to create a relief pattern, but also increases the groove step and hits this step. However, if h / d exceeds the lower limit of conditional expression (7), the optical element element becomes too thick, so that a relief pattern is also created. Not only does this become difficult, but the internal absorption of light in the optical element element increases, resulting in a decrease in the overall optical system's yield rate and loss of color, resulting in a reduction in image quality. In equation (7), set the upper limit of hZd to 1.0 and the lower limit to 0.02.
- condition represented by the following conditional expression (8) is satisfied, where p is the minimum pitch of the relief pattern and f is the focal point of the entire optical system.
- Conditional expression (8) defines an appropriate ratio between the minimum pitch p and the focal length f of the entire optical system. If the minimum pitch p is small, the diffraction angle becomes large and the chromatic dispersion on the diffractive optical surface increases, which is effective for correcting chromatic aberration, but on the other hand, processing becomes difficult and flare occurs on the diffractive optical surface. Also grows. Therefore, it is important to use the minimum pitch p within an appropriate range.
- the minimum pitch p becomes too small.
- the addition becomes difficult and the occurrence of flare on the diffractive optical surface also increases.
- the image quality is degraded by unnecessary flare light, and the diffraction efficiency is also degraded.

If the focal point of the entire optical system is f, the pupil diameter is ⁇ , and the eye relief is R, the condition expressed by the following conditional expression (9) It is preferable to satisfy
- Conditional expression (9) shows an appropriate relationship between the pupil diameter ⁇ , the eye relief R, and the focal length f when the optical system of the present embodiment is applied to the observation optical system as described above. Taking sufficient eye relief R is important in constructing an observation optical system.
- the eye relief R becomes too long, which tends to cause a large optical system.
- 0xR / f 2 exceeds the lower limit of conditional expression (9) 10
- the eye relief R becomes too short, making it difficult to observe the image.
- the pupil diameter ⁇ is small, it becomes easy to be cut, and inconvenience that it becomes difficult to observe the image force S during use is likely to occur.
- the shape of the pupil need not be a circle, and may be a rectangle or an ellipse depending on the application and design specifications. At this time, such a pupil shape can be achieved by devising the shape of the lens and the shape of the stop.
- conditional expression (9) 15 it is more preferable that the upper limit of 0xR / f 2 is 1.0 and the lower limit is 0.15. In conditional expression (9), it is more preferable that the upper limit of 0 £ 2 is 1.0 and the lower limit is 0.2. Further, it is more preferably around 0xRZf ⁇ iO.3.
- the viscosity (uncured) of the material constituting either optical element element The viscosity of the material is preferably at least 40 Pa ⁇ s (Pascal ⁇ second) or more. If this viscosity is 40 Pa ⁇ S or less, the resin tends to flow during molding, resulting in the inconvenience that precise shape formation becomes difficult. However, the viscosity of the material constituting the other optical element element is preferably at least 200 OPa ⁇ s or more.

- both the material forces S of the first and second optical element elements are resins.
- the specific gravity of these resins is preferably 2.0 or less. Since the specific gravity of resin is smaller than that of glass, it is very effective for reducing the weight of optical systems. In order to achieve further effects, it is more preferable that the specific gravity is 1.6 or less.

If AZ f exceeds the upper limit of the conditional expression (1 0), the axial chromatic aberration will become too large, resulting in a colored image and a significant loss of image quality. In conditional expression (1 0), the upper limit of ⁇ ⁇ is 0.
