It should be understood that these detailed descriptions are merely illustrative of embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application in any way. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements. The expression "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0047] It should be noted that in this specification, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used only to distinguish one feature from another and do not imply any limitation on the features. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the invention, the first lens discussed below may also be referred to as the second lens or the third lens.

[0048] In the accompanying drawings, the thickness, size, and shape of the lenses have been slightly exaggerated for ease of illustration. Specifically, the shapes of the spherical or aspherical surfaces shown in the drawings are illustrated by way of example. That is, the shapes of the spherical or aspherical surfaces are not limited to those shown in the drawings. The drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not strictly to scale.

[0049] In this article, "near the optical axis" refers to the region near the optical axis. If the lens surface is convex and its location is not defined, it means that the lens surface is convex at least near the optical axis; if the lens surface is concave and its location is not defined, it means that the lens surface is concave at least near the optical axis. The surface of each lens closest to the subject is called the object-side surface of the lens, and the surface of each lens closest to the imaging plane is called the image-side surface of the lens.

[0050] It should also be understood that the terms "comprising," "including," "having," "containing," and / or "comprising," when used in this specification, indicate the presence of the stated features, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof. Furthermore, when expressions such as "at least one of..." appear after a list of listed features, they modify the entire list of features, not individual elements in the list. Additionally, when describing embodiments of this application, the word "may" is used to mean "one or more embodiments of this application." And the term "exemplary" is intended to refer to an example or illustration.

[0051] Unless otherwise specified, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) shall have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains. It should also be understood that terms (e.g., those defined in common dictionaries) shall be interpreted as having the meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and shall not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so specified herein.

[0052] 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.

[0053] The optical lens provided in this embodiment of the invention consists of seven lenses, which are arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object side to the imaging plane as a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, and a seventh lens.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first lens may have negative optical power, with a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface. The second lens may have negative optical power, with a concave object-side surface near the optical axis and a concave image-side surface. The third lens may have negative optical power, with both its object-side and image-side surfaces concave. The fourth lens may have positive optical power, with a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface. The fifth lens may have positive optical power, with both its object-side and image-side surfaces convex. The sixth lens may have negative optical power, with a concave object-side surface and a concave image-side surface near the optical axis. The seventh lens may have positive optical power, with a convex object-side surface near the optical axis and a convex image-side surface.

[0055] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include an aperture which may be located between the fourth lens and the fifth lens. It can be understood that the aperture can be used to limit the amount of incident light so as to change the brightness of the image. Additionally, when the aperture is located between the fourth lens and the fifth lens, the aperture can reasonably distribute the functions of the first lens to the seventh lens.

Furthermore, when the aperture is located between the fourth lens and the fifth lens, it is convenient to correct the aperture aberration.

[0108] In this embodiment, the field curvature curve, F-θ distortion curve, axial aberration curve, transverse chromatic aberration curve, and MTF curve of the optical lens 100 are respectively as follows: Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown.

[0109] Figure 2 The field curvature curve of Example 1 is shown, which represents the degree of curvature of light of different wavelengths in the meridional and sagittal image planes. The horizontal axis represents the offset (unit: mm), and the vertical axis represents the half field of view (unit: °). As can be seen from the figure, the field curvature of the meridional and sagittal image planes is controlled within -0.03 mm to 0.04 mm, indicating that the optical lens can effectively correct the field curvature.

[0110] Figure 3 The F-θ distortion curve of Example 1 is shown, which represents the F-θ distortion of light of different wavelengths at different image heights on the imaging plane. The horizontal axis represents the F-θ distortion value (unit: %), and the vertical axis represents the half field of view (unit: °). As can be seen from the figure, the F-θ distortion of the optical lens is controlled within 0 to 8%, and the image compression in the edge angle region is relatively smooth, effectively improving the sharpness of the unfolded image.

[0111] Figure 4 The axial aberration curve of Example 1 is shown, which represents the aberration of each wavelength on the optical axis at the imaging plane. The horizontal axis represents the axial aberration value (unit: mm), and the vertical axis represents the normalized pupil radius. As can be seen from the figure, the axial aberration offset is controlled within -0.01 mm to 0.04 mm, indicating that the optical lens can correct axial aberration well.

[0112] Figure 5 The diagram shows the transverse chromatic aberration curves for Example 1, representing the chromatic aberration of each wavelength relative to the center wavelength (0.546 μm) at different image heights on the imaging plane. The horizontal axis represents the transverse chromatic aberration value of each wavelength relative to the center wavelength (unit: μm), and the vertical axis represents the normalized field of view. As can be seen from the diagram, the transverse chromatic aberration of the longest and shortest wavelengths is controlled within -2 μm to 2 μm, indicating that the optical lens can excellently correct chromatic aberration at the edge of the field of view and the secondary spectrum of the entire image plane.

[0113] Figure 6 The MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) curve of Example 1 is shown, which represents the lens imaging modulation at different spatial frequencies in various fields of view. The horizontal axis represents spatial frequency (unit: lp / mm), and the vertical axis represents MTF value. As can be seen from the figure, the MTF value of this example is above 0.3 throughout the entire field of view. Within the range of 0–160 lp / mm, the MTF curve decreases smoothly and uniformly from the center to the edge of the field of view, exhibiting good imaging quality and good detail resolution at both low and high frequencies.
