[0038] Embodiment 1:

[0039] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a large aperture starlight-class drone lens comprises a first lens L1 with negative focal power, a second lens L2 with negative focal power, a third lens L3 with positive focal power, a fourth lens L4 with negative focal power, a fifth lens L5 with positive focal power, a sixth lens L6 with negative focal power, a seventh lens L7 with positive focal power, an eighth lens L8 with negative focal power, a ninth lens L9 with positive focal power, a tenth lens L10 with positive focal power, and an eleventh lens L11 with positive focal power, which are sequentially arranged along the incident direction of light, wherein:

[0040] Each lens includes at least one lens that satisfies the condition of a refractive index nd≥1.90;

[0041] The third lens L3 and the fourth lens L4 are glued together to form a first glued lens group, and the seventh lens L7, the eighth lens L8 and the ninth lens L9 are glued together to form a second glued lens group.

[0042] In one embodiment, the first lens L1 and the sixth lens L6 are convex-concave lenses;

[0043] The second lens L2 and the eighth lens L8 are biconcave lenses;

[0044] The third lens L3, the fifth lens L5, the seventh lens L7, the ninth lens L9, the tenth lens L10 and the eleventh lens L11 are biconvex lenses;

[0045] The fourth lens L4 is a crescent-shaped lens.

[0046] Among them, when the light is incident, the eleven lenses along the lens adjust the incident angle of the light in sequence to meet the requirements of low-light shooting and imaging quality. The first lens L1 collects the large-angle light into the lens, the second lens L2 adjusts the light propagation angle, the third lens L3 and the fourth lens L4 are glued together to form a first glued lens group for correcting chromatic aberration, the fifth lens L5 is responsible for adjusting the light angle to assist in aberration correction, the seventh lens L7, the eighth lens L8 and the ninth lens L9 are glued together to form a second glued lens group for further correcting chromatic aberration, and the adjacent surfaces of the tenth lens L10 and the eleventh lens L11 are designed to diverge, that is, L10R2 is curved toward the object plane, and L11R1 is curved toward the image plane, which can further correct aberrations, especially spherical aberration, astigmatism and field curvature.

[0047] Each glued lens group is bonded with photosensitive glue, such as UV glue, to correct the chromatic aberration of light of different wavelengths, and the dispersion of each lens can be compensated, so as to minimize the comprehensive chromatic aberration. The lens uses at least one lens with a high refractive index nd≥1.90 and distributes the focal length of the positive and negative lenses, which can avoid the back focus shift caused by temperature changes, effectively optimize and balance chromatic aberration, improve imaging effects, and achieve the optical requirements of large target surface and large aperture. It has good night photography effect, high clarity and small size, and is suitable for drones and different temperature and light conditions.

[0048] In one embodiment, the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, the fifth lens L5, the sixth lens L6, the seventh lens L7, the eighth lens L8, the ninth lens L9, the tenth lens L10 and the eleventh lens L11 are all spherical glass lenses.

[0049] Among them, each lens is a spherical glass lens, which is easy to shape and wear-resistant, has a low mold cost and a long service life. Aspherical lenses can also be used to further reduce the weight and length of the lens and improve the imaging quality of the lens. Alternatively, each lens can be made of plastic material to reduce the weight of the lens, which can significantly reduce costs when produced in large quantities.

[0050] In one embodiment, a large aperture starlight-level drone lens satisfies the following conditions:

[0051] 0.29≤f2 / f1≤0.6

[0052] Wherein, f1 is the focal length value of the first lens L1, and f2 is the focal length value of the second lens L2.

[0053] Among them, the first lens L1 collects large-angle light into the lens, and the second lens L2 adjusts the light propagation angle, controlling the size of the lens to meet 0.29≤f2 / f1≤0.6. The optical focal length of the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 is reasonably allocated, which is more conducive to adjusting the light angle to achieve miniaturization of the lens and is suitable for drone mounting.

[0054] In one embodiment, a large aperture starlight-level drone lens satisfies the following conditions:

[0055] 0.85≤f11 / f10≤0.92

[0056] Wherein, f10 is the focal length value of the tenth lens L10, and f11 is the focal length value of the eleventh lens L11.

[0057] Among them, the tenth lens L10 and the eleventh lens L11 can further correct aberrations, especially spherical aberration, astigmatism and field curvature, and improve imaging quality under the condition of 0.85≤f11 / f10≤0.92.

[0058] In one embodiment, at least one lens satisfying the condition of a refractive index nd ≥ 1.90 is located in the first cemented lens group or the second cemented lens group.

[0059] Among them, the lens with a refractive index nd≥1.90 is preferably located in the first cemented lens group or the second cemented lens group, and the imaging effect is good. Any number or any lens arrangement can be selected. It should be noted that the lens with a refractive index nd≥1.90 can also be any one or more of the 11 lenses in the lens.

[0060] In this embodiment, the refractive index nd of the fourth lens L4, the eighth lens L8 and the tenth lens L10 is ≥1.90.

[0061] Among them, the refractive index nd of the fourth lens L4 in the first cemented lens group, the eighth lens L8 and the tenth lens L10 in the second cemented lens group is ≥1.90, which helps to reduce the thickness of the lenses and facilitates clear imaging.

[0062] In one embodiment, an adjustable aperture STO is disposed between the sixth lens L6 and the seventh lens L7.

[0063] Among them, the adjustable aperture STO is placed between the sixth lens L6 and the seventh lens L7. When the aperture is opened to the maximum, a large amount of light enters, so that a good photo effect can be achieved at night, and the exposure phenomenon can be avoided when there is sufficient light by adjusting the aperture.

[0064] In one embodiment, the maximum aperture number of the large aperture starlight-level drone lens can reach 1.0.

[0065] Among them, the aperture number of this lens can achieve a large aperture of 1.0, which is suitable for use in dim or low-light environments. It can capture more light in dark environments and greatly improve the imaging quality.

[0066] In one embodiment, a filter IRCUT is disposed on a side of the eleventh lens L11 close to the image plane S1.

[0067] The filter IRCUT can automatically switch according to the strength of the external light to achieve the best image effect. It is a conventional technology well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described here. It can be used to correct the color cast problem during the day and improve the brightness at night, so that the best imaging effect can be obtained regardless of day or night. It can also be used to protect the lens and image surface.

[0073] Based on the above table data, Figure 2 As shown, when the aperture is opened to the maximum, that is, F#=1.0, at a spatial frequency of 80lp / mm, the full field of view MTF>0.45, with high resolution and high definition quality.

[0080] Based on the above table data, Figure 4 As shown, when the aperture is opened to the maximum, that is, F#=1.0, at a spatial frequency of 80lp / mm, the full field of view MTF>0.45, with high resolution and high definition quality.

[0083] The optical parameters of each mirror and filter IRCUT in this embodiment are as follows:

[0084]

[0085] The lens related parameters in this embodiment are as follows:

[0086] F# DFOV f1 f2 f10 f11 f2 / f1 f11 / f10 1.0 105° -19.96 -5.78 26.52 22.54 0.29 0.85

[0087] Based on the above table data, Figure 6 As shown, when the aperture is opened to the maximum, that is, F#=1.0, at a spatial frequency of 80lp / mm, the full field of view MTF>0.45, with high resolution and high definition quality.
