[0143] In the following description, exemplary embodiments according to this application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0144] In the miniaturization of optical systems, optical systems using traditional plastic lenses face limitations in thickness and curvature due to the constraints of their injection molding process. This makes it difficult to achieve breakthroughs in the thickness of individual lenses, the spacing between lenses, and the overall system length in five-element lens structures. Furthermore, the limited availability of only a dozen or so materials for plastic lenses restricts the freedom of aberration correction in optical systems. While glass-resin hybrid lenses have addressed issues such as chromatic aberration to some extent, the injection molding process still significantly hinders the miniaturization and weight reduction of optical systems. Currently, reducing the overall length of an optical system by even 1 millimeter requires tremendous effort.

[0145] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a composite lens, such as... Fig. 1 As shown, the compound lens includes a first lens 10 and a second lens 20 arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side. The first lens 10 is a refractive lens with a positive focal length, and the second lens 20 is a superlens. Both the object-side and image-side surfaces of the first lens 10 are aspherical. The first lens 10 and the second lens 20 also satisfy the following formula (1):

[0146] t 12 ≤0.5mm; (1-1)

[0147]

[0148] R 1i >R 1O (1-3)

[0149] In formulas (1-1) to (1-3), t 12 f1 is the distance between the first lens 10 and the second lens 20; f2 is the focal length of the first lens 10; f3 is the focal length of the second lens 20; R 1o R is the radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the first lens 10; 1iis the radius of curvature of the image-side surface of the first lens 10. It should be noted that the interval t 12 is less than a reference value. Optionally, when the composite lens is used in a consumer electronic device, t 12 is less than 0.5 mm.

[0150] The composite lens, by combining aspherical lenses with superlenses, can be used in a lens group with a lens number of not less than four to reduce the pressure on subsequent lens groups for aberration correction; secondly, if the second lens 20 adopts other lenses other than superlenses, the second lens 20 needs multiple inflection points and high-order curved surface structures to achieve similar results, but the existing processing technology does not support such complex design; and by virtue of the advantage that the thickness of the superlens is much smaller than that of the refractive lens, the total length (TTL, Total Tracking Length) of the optical system can be effectively reduced

[0151] According to the embodiments of the present application, the material of the first lens 10 can be optical glass, such as crown glass, flint glass, quartz glass, etc.; or various optical plastics, such as APL5514, OKP4HT, etc. Preferably, the first lens 10 is selected from optical plastics. The first lens 10 adopts optical plastics, which can realize mass production of aspherical lenses at low cost through injection molding.

[0152] According to the embodiments of the present application, optionally, the condensing power of the second lens 20 is less than that of the first lens 10. The role of the second lens 20 includes correcting the chromatic spherical aberration, other monochromatic aberrations and transverse chromatic aberration of the first lens 10. Preferably, the absolute value of the focal length ratio of the second lens 10 to the first lens 20 needs to be greater than 8.

[0153] Next, the superlens (i.e. the second lens 20) provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described. Figs. 2 to 17 Next, the superlens (i.e. the second lens 20) provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described.

[0154] Specifically, the superlens is a specific application of the super surface, which modulates the phase, amplitude and polarization of the incident light through the periodic arrangement of sub-wavelength size nano structures.

[0155] Fig. 2 An optional structural schematic diagram of the superlens provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown. Referring to Fig. 2 , the second lens 20 includes a substrate layer 201 and at least one nano structure layer 202 arranged on the substrate layer 201. Each of the at least one nano structure layer 202 includes a periodic arrangement of nano structures 2021.

[0156] According to the embodiments of the present application, in any of the at least one nano structure layer 202, the arrangement period of the nano structure 2021 is greater than or equal to 0.3λ cand less than or equal to 2λ c ; wherein λ c is the center wavelength of the working waveband of the second lens 20.

[0157] According to the embodiments of the present application, optionally, the height of the nanostructure 2021 in any one of the at least one nanostructure layer 202 is greater than or equal to 0.3λ c and less than or equal to 5λ c ; wherein λ c is the center wavelength of the working waveband of the second lens 20.

Optionally, Fig. 4 the nanostructure 2021 in the above-mentioned Fig. 1 and Fig. 4 , the second lens 20 further comprises a filler 2022, the filler 2022 fills between the nanostructures 2021, and the extinction coefficient of the material of the filler 2022 to the working waveband is less than 0.01. Optionally, the filler comprises air or other materials transparent or translucent in the working waveband. According to the embodiments of the present application, the absolute value of the difference between the refractive index of the material of the filler 2022 and the refractive index of the nanostructure 2021 should be greater than or equal to 0.5. When the superlens provided by the embodiments of the present application has at least two nanostructure layers 12, the filler 2022 in the nanostructure layer 202 farthest from the base layer 201 can be air.

[0159] In some optional embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figs. 5 to 7 , the at least one nanostructure layer 202 comprises a superstructure unit 203 arranged in an array in any one of the at least one nanostructure layer 202. The superstructure unit 203 is a close-packed pattern, and the vertex and / or center position of the close-packed pattern is provided with a nanostructure 2021. In the embodiments of the present application, the close-packed pattern refers to one or more patterns that can fill the entire plane without gaps and without overlapping.

[0160] As shown in Fig. 5 , according to the embodiments of the present application, the superstructure unit can be arranged in a fan shape. As shown in Fig. 6 , according to the embodiments of the present application, the superstructure unit can be arranged in a regular hexagonal array. In addition, as shown in Fig. 7As shown, according to embodiments of the present application, the super-structure units 203 can be arranged in a square array. Those skilled in the art should appreciate that the super-structure units 203 included in the nano-structure layer 202 can also include other forms of array arrangement, all of which are encompassed within the scope of the present application.

[0161] Optionally, the wide-spectrum phase of the super-structure units 203 and the working wavelength band of the super-lens also satisfy:

[0162]

[0163] In formula (2), r is the radial coordinate of the second lens 20; r0is the distance from any point on the second lens 20 to the center of the second lens 20; and λ is the working wavelength of the second lens 20.
