[0037] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] The features, principles and other aspects of this application are described in detail below.

[0039] An exemplary embodiment of this application provides an optical lens, which may include a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, and an eighth lens arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object side to the image side. The first lens may have negative optical power and may be a meniscus lens with a convex object side and a concave image side. The second lens may have negative optical power and its object side may be concave. The third lens may have positive optical power and its object side may be convex. The fifth lens may have a convex object side. The sixth lens may have positive optical power and both its object side and image side may be convex. The seventh lens may have negative optical power. The eighth lens may have positive optical power and both its object side and image side may be convex. The fifth and sixth lenses may be cemented together to form a doublet lens.

[0040] The optical lens of the first aspect of this application, through the rational configuration of the optical power and surface shape of each lens, can achieve confocal focusing of visible and infrared light, enabling the optical lens to obtain clear images even in low-light environments at night. By making the first lens have negative optical power and a meniscus lens with a convex-concave surface, it can collect as much light as possible from a large field of view into the rear lens, increasing the light transmission of the optical lens and helping to fix the direction of large-angle light rays at the edges. By making the second lens have negative optical power and a concave object side, it can further diverge light and adjust the refraction angle of the light, which helps to reduce chromatic aberration of the optical lens. By making the third lens have positive optical power and a convex object side, it can converge light, which helps the light enter the rear lens smoothly and reduces the sensitivity of the optical lens. By rationally configuring the optical power and surface shape of the fourth lens, it can compress the angle of the incident light to achieve a smooth transition of light, allowing the diverging light to enter the rear lens smoothly, further stabilizing the light path and helping to reduce the aperture of the rear lens. By appropriately configuring the optical power of the fifth lens and making its object-side surface convex, excessive divergence of object-side light rays entering the optical lens can be avoided. By giving the sixth lens positive optical power and a biconvex shape, aberrations can be further reduced, image quality improved, and distortion optimized. It also ensures that light rays converge effectively and smoothly at the final point, reaching the image plane smoothly and reducing the overall weight and cost of the optical lens. By giving the seventh lens negative optical power, the light path becomes smoother, facilitating the correction of astigmatism and distortion, thus improving the image quality of the optical lens. By giving the eighth lens positive optical power and a biconvex shape, as much large-angle peripheral light rays as possible can smoothly transition to the rear optical elements, correcting astigmatism and field curvature, and improving the resolving power of the optical lens. By using double-lens film, the air gap between the two lenses can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall optical length; the dispersion of the two lenses can be complementary, which helps to reduce chromatic aberration and improve image quality; the number of assembly parts between the two lenses can be reduced, thereby reducing processes and lowering costs; field curvature can be reduced, thereby correcting off-axis point aberrations of the system; and the focal length can be reasonably allocated, which helps to achieve thermal compensation and obtain good temperature performance; thus, clear imaging can be achieved in a temperature range of -40℃ to 80℃ while taking into account small size and low cost.

[0041] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application may further include an aperture stop, which can be set at an appropriate position according to actual needs, for example, the aperture stop may be located between the third lens and the fourth lens. The aperture stop can constrain the light path and control the light intensity.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one of the mirror surfaces of the first to eighth lenses can be an aspherical mirror surface. An aspherical lens is characterized by a continuously changing curvature from the lens center to the lens periphery. Unlike a spherical lens, which has a constant curvature from the lens center to the lens periphery, an aspherical lens has better curvature radius characteristics, offering advantages in improving distortion and astigmatism. By using an aspherical lens, aberrations occurring during imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, thereby improving image quality. In one example, the eighth lens is an aspherical lens with positive optical power. By placing the aspherical lens at the rearmost position of the optical lens, away from the aperture stop, it can better correct the distortion of the optical lens.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, the fourth or fifth lens can be made of glass, while any of the remaining lenses from the first to the eighth lens can be made of plastic. Using glass allows the lens to have a high Abbe number and a high refractive index, reducing the size of the lens assembly. Using plastic helps save on the cost of the lens assembly and reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the lens while achieving high image quality. Using a combination of glass and plastic materials can reduce costs while overcoming the problem of focus drift caused by the large coefficient of thermal expansion of aspherical lenses made of plastic in high and low temperature environments, thus meeting the requirements for optical lenses in high and low temperature environments.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application satisfies the condition 2.7 ≤ H / ENPD ≤ 3.7, where H is the image height corresponding to the maximum field of view of the optical lens, and ENPD is the entrance pupil diameter of the optical lens. By controlling the ratio of the image height corresponding to the maximum field of view of the optical lens to the entrance pupil diameter of the optical lens within a reasonable range, the width of the light beam entering the optical lens can be increased, thereby improving the brightness of the optical lens at the imaging plane, avoiding vignetting, facilitating the achievement of large aperture characteristics, providing more incident light to the optical lens, increasing the light transmission of the optical lens, enhancing the imaging effect of the optical lens in dark environments, and simultaneously increasing the field of view of the optical lens, which is beneficial for achieving wide-angle characteristics, thereby acquiring more scene information and meeting the large-angle requirements of the optical lens.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application can satisfy the condition -3.8 ≤ f1 / f ≤ -2.0, where f1 is the effective focal length of the first lens and f is the effective focal length of the optical lens. By controlling the ratio of the effective focal length of the first lens to the effective focal length of the optical lens within a reasonable range, the first lens can have an appropriate negative power, which is beneficial for expanding the field of view of the optical lens. At the same time, it can reduce the impact of the distortion generated by the first lens itself on the overall distortion of the optical lens and reduce the difficulty of distortion correction by the rear lens.

[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application can satisfy the condition -3.9 ≤ f2 / f ≤ -2.1, where f2 is the effective focal length of the second lens and f is the effective focal length of the optical lens. By controlling the ratio of the effective focal length of the second lens to the effective focal length of the optical lens within a reasonable range, the focal length of the second lens can be reasonably allocated, allowing light to enter the optical lens smoothly. This also helps to collect more light, ensuring the light transmission of the optical lens and improving its resolution.

[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application can satisfy the condition 3.0≤f3 / f≤4.1, where f3 is the effective focal length of the third lens and f is the effective focal length of the optical lens. By controlling the ratio of the effective focal length of the third lens to the effective focal length of the optical lens within a reasonable range, the light path between the second and fourth lenses can be controlled, reducing aberrations caused by large-angle light rays entering through the second lens. Simultaneously, the inter-lens structure can be made more compact, which is beneficial for the miniaturization of the optical lens.

[0048] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application satisfies the condition 3.3 ≤ |f4 / f| ≤ 6.0, where f4 is the effective focal length of the fourth lens and f is the effective focal length of the optical lens. By controlling the ratio of the effective focal length of the fourth lens to the effective focal length of the optical lens within a reasonable range, the optical power of the fourth lens can be reasonably allocated, allowing light to converge. This enables divergent light to smoothly enter the rear lens and lowers the position of the light entering the rear lens, reducing the aperture of the rear lens and facilitating the miniaturization of the optical lens.

[0049] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application can satisfy condition 2.1≤|f5 / f|≤9.2, where f5 is the effective focal length of the fifth lens and f is the effective focal length of the optical lens. By controlling the ratio of the effective focal length of the fifth lens to the effective focal length of the optical lens within a reasonable range, it helps to ensure a smooth transition of light and is beneficial for correcting chromatic aberration in the optical lens.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application can satisfy the condition 2.1≤f6 / f≤4.8, where f6 is the effective focal length of the sixth lens and f is the effective focal length of the optical lens. By controlling the ratio of the effective focal length of the sixth lens to the effective focal length of the optical lens within a reasonable range, it helps to smooth the transition of light and is beneficial for correcting chromatic aberration in the optical lens.

[0051] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application can satisfy the condition -6.0 ≤ f7 / f ≤ -3.3, where f7 is the effective focal length of the seventh lens and f is the effective focal length of the optical lens. By controlling the ratio of the effective focal length of the seventh lens to the effective focal length of the optical lens within a reasonable range, the seventh lens can have negative optical power, which can then be used to balance the astigmatism produced by the subsequent positive lenses.

[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application can satisfy the condition 2.4≤f8 / f≤3.5, where f8 is the effective focal length of the eighth lens and f is the effective focal length of the optical lens. By controlling the ratio of the effective focal length of the eighth lens to the effective focal length of the optical lens within a reasonable range, it is beneficial for light to reach the imaging plane smoothly, while reducing the distortion of the optical lens and improving the resolution quality of the optical lens.

[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application can satisfy the condition 2.7≤fj / f≤7.9, where fj is the effective focal length of the doublet lens and f is the effective focal length of the optical lens. By controlling the ratio of the effective focal length of the doublet lens to the effective focal length of the optical lens within a reasonable range, it helps to smooth the transition of light, which is beneficial for correcting chromatic aberration, improving image quality, and effectively improving the thermal compensation of the optical lens.

[0054] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application can satisfy the condition -1.6 ≤ Fa / Fb ≤ -0.6, where Fa is the combined focal length of the first, second, and third lenses, and Fb is the combined focal length of the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth lenses. By controlling the ratio of the combined focal length of the first, second, and third lenses to the combined focal length of the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth lenses within a reasonable range, the focal length distribution of the lens groups before and after the aperture stop can be made similar, which helps to smoothly transition light and improves the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0055] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application can satisfy the condition 9.1≤TTL / f≤11.4, where TTL is the total optical length of the optical lens and f is the effective focal length of the optical lens. By controlling the ratio of the total optical length to the effective focal length of the optical lens within a reasonable range, the length of the optical lens can be effectively limited, which is beneficial for miniaturizing the optical lens.

[0056] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application can satisfy the condition 1.5≤BFL / f≤2.2, where BFL is the back focal length of the optical lens and f is the effective focal length of the optical lens. By controlling the ratio of the back focal length to the effective focal length of the optical lens within a reasonable range, it is beneficial to achieve a balance between obtaining good image quality and an easy-to-assemble optical back focal length, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty of optical lens assembly while ensuring the image quality of the optical lens.

[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application can satisfy the condition 2.5 ≤ H / f ≤ 3.5, where H is the image height corresponding to the maximum field of view of the optical lens, and f is the effective focal length of the optical lens. By controlling the ratio of the image height corresponding to the maximum field of view of the optical lens to the effective focal length of the optical lens within a reasonable range, it is beneficial to improve the resolving quality of the optical lens.

[0058] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application can satisfy the condition 0.4≤Dmax / TTL≤0.7, where Dmax is the maximum aperture of the optical lens and TTL is the total optical length of the optical lens. By controlling the ratio of the maximum aperture to the total optical length of the optical lens within a reasonable range, the aperture at the front end of the optical lens can be made smaller, which is beneficial for miniaturizing the optical lens.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application satisfies the conditions 5.5≤R1 / f≤14.6 and 1.0≤R2 / f≤2.1, where R1 is the radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the first lens, R2 is the radius of curvature of the image-side surface of the first lens, and f is the effective focal length of the optical lens. By controlling the ratio of the radius of curvature of the object-side surface and the radius of curvature of the image-side surface of the first lens to the effective focal length of the optical lens within a reasonable range, it is beneficial to achieve wide-angle characteristics, thereby enabling the acquisition of more scene information and meeting the requirement of a large field of view for the optical lens.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application can satisfy the condition -3.0 ≤ R3 / R2 ≤ -0.8, where R2 is the radius of curvature of the image-side surface of the first lens and R3 is the radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the second lens. By controlling the ratio of the radius of curvature of the image-side surface of the first lens to the radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the second lens within a reasonable range, it is beneficial that the incident light rays from the first lens are relatively smooth when they enter the object-side surface of the second lens, thereby reducing the tolerance sensitivity of the optical lens.

[0061] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application can satisfy the condition -1.5≤R8 / f4≤5.5, where R8 is the radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the fourth lens, and f4 is the effective focal length of the fourth lens. By controlling the ratio of the radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the fourth lens to the effective focal length of the fourth lens within a reasonable range, the shape of the fourth lens can be reasonably designed and optimized, so that the diverging light rays after passing through the first, second, and third lenses can be further converged, and the aperture of the optical lens can be further reduced.

[0062] In an exemplary embodiment, the fifth and sixth lenses in the optical lens of this application are cemented together to form a doublet lens, or the fourth and fifth lenses are cemented together to form a doublet lens. The optical lens of this application can satisfy the conditions 1.8≤Nd≤2.1, 15≤Vd≤40, where Nd is the refractive index of the negative lens in the doublet lens, and Vd is the Abbe number of the negative lens in the doublet lens. By controlling the refractive index and Abbe number of the negative lens in the doublet lens within a reasonable range, the high and low refractive indices of the lenses in the doublet lens can be matched, which is beneficial for the rapid transition of light in front, increases the aperture, and improves the light transmission, thus helping the optical lens meet the needs of night vision.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, the fifth and sixth lenses in the optical lens of this application are cemented together to form a doublet lens, or the fourth and fifth lenses are cemented together to form a doublet lens. The optical lens of this application can satisfy the condition 0.1≤Dt / TTL≤0.3, where Dt is the center thickness of the doublet lens and TTL is the total optical length of the optical lens. By controlling the ratio of the center thickness of the doublet lens to the total optical length of the optical lens within a reasonable range, it is beneficial to reasonably set the center thickness of the doublet lens, which can help improve the relative illumination of the optical lens.

[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens of this application may further include a filter for correcting color deviation and / or a protective glass for protecting the photosensitive element located on the imaging surface.

[0065] According to the above-described embodiments of the present application, the optical lens can achieve confocal focusing of visible and infrared light by reasonably configuring the optical power and surface shape of each lens, enabling the optical lens to obtain clear images even in low-light environments at night. By using double-sided lenses, clear imaging can be achieved within a temperature range of -40°C to 80°C while maintaining a small size and low cost. By controlling the ratio of the image height corresponding to the maximum field of view of the optical lens to the entrance pupil diameter of the optical lens within a reasonable range, the width of the light beam entering the optical lens can be increased, thereby improving the brightness of the optical lens at the imaging plane, avoiding vignetting, facilitating the achievement of large aperture characteristics, providing more incident light to the optical lens, increasing the light transmission of the optical lens, enhancing the imaging effect of the optical lens in dark environments, and simultaneously increasing the field of view of the optical lens, which is conducive to achieving wide-angle characteristics, thereby acquiring more scene information and meeting the large-angle requirements of the optical lens.
