[0022] Hereinafter, an optical system, an optical device, and a method for manufacturing an optical system according to an embodiment of the present application will be described.

[0023] The optical system of this embodiment is composed of a first lens group, an aperture stop, and a rear group in order from the object side. The rear group has a first cemented lens composed of a positive lens and a negative lens. The optical system satisfies the following conditional expressions at the same time.

[0024] (1) 0.350 < Bf / y < 0.700 (2) 1.350 < TL / y < 2.000 (3) 0.050 < Np1-Nn1 < 0.400 in, Bf: Back focal length in air conversion length y: maximum image height TL: The distance from the lens surface closest to the object to the image surface Np1: Refractive index of the positive lens constituting the first cemented lens Nn1: Refractive index of the negative lens constituting the first cemented lens

[0025] In the optical system of this embodiment, the rear group includes the first cemented lens, so that chromatic aberration can be corrected well and the Petzval sum can be maintained at an appropriate value, thereby making it possible to correct field curvature well.

[0026] Conditional expression (1) specifies the ratio of the back focus to the maximum image height in air conversion length. The optical system of this embodiment satisfies conditional expression (1), thereby ensuring a back focus of an appropriate length for configuring necessary filters between the optical system and the image plane, while appropriately correcting various aberrations.

[0027] In the optical system of this embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (1) exceeds the upper limit, the back focus becomes too long, and the total length of the optical system increases. In addition, in the optical system, when the total length is shortened by shortening the length other than the back focus, it is difficult to properly correct various aberrations.

[0028] In the optical system of this embodiment, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably by setting the upper limit value of conditional expression (1) to 0.700. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferable to set the upper limit value of conditional expression (1) to 0.691, and further to 0.550.

[0029] In the optical system of this embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (1) is below the lower limit, the back focus becomes too short, making it difficult to arrange filters in front of the image sensor, and the quality of the image signal output from the image sensor decreases.

[0030] In the optical system of this embodiment, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably by setting the lower limit value of conditional expression (1) to 0.350. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferable to set the lower limit value of conditional expression (1) to 0.369, and further to 0.400.

[0031] Conditional expression (2) specifies the ratio of the distance from the lens surface closest to the object to the image plane (optical total length) to the maximum image height. The optical system of this embodiment satisfies conditional expression (2), thereby suppressing the increase in the total length of the optical system, suppressing the shadow in the imaging element, and appropriately correcting various aberrations.

[0032] In the optical system of the present embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (2) exceeds the upper limit, the total length of the optical system increases, and the optical system becomes larger.

[0033] In the optical system of this embodiment, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably by setting the upper limit value of conditional expression (2) to 2.000. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferable to set the upper limit value of conditional expression (2) to 1.843, and further to 1.820.

[0034] In the optical system of the present embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (2) is lower than the lower limit, the incident angle of light to the image sensor increases, causing shadows and making it difficult to correct various aberrations.

[0035] In the optical system of this embodiment, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably by setting the lower limit value of conditional expression (2) to 1.350. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferable to set the lower limit value of conditional expression (2) to 1.400, and further to 1.600.

[0036] Conditional expression (3) defines the difference between the refractive index of the positive lens constituting the first cemented lens and the refractive index of the negative lens constituting the first cemented lens. The optical system of this embodiment can appropriately suppress the occurrence of various aberrations by including the first cemented lens satisfying conditional expression (3).

[0037] In the optical system of the present embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (3) exceeds the upper limit, the refractive power on the cemented surface of the first cemented lens becomes too strong, and various aberrations are generated greatly.

[0038] In the optical system of this embodiment, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably by setting the upper limit value of conditional expression (3) to 0.400. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferred to set the upper limit value of conditional expression (3) to 0.350, and further to 0.300.

[0039] In the optical system of this embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (3) is lower than the lower limit, the Petzval sum cannot be appropriately corrected by the first cemented lens, and it is difficult to suppress field curvature in the entire optical system.

[0040] In the optical system of this embodiment, by setting the lower limit of conditional expression (3) to 0.050, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferable to set the lower limit of conditional expression (3) to 0.060, and further to 0.070.

[0041] In an optical system that satisfies conditional expressions (1), (2), and (3) at the same time, it is possible to suppress the increase in the total length of the optical system, ensure a back focus of appropriate length, suppress shadows in the imaging element, and appropriately correct various aberrations.

[0042] The optical system of this embodiment is composed of a first lens group, an aperture stop, and a rear group in order from the object side. The rear group has a first cemented lens composed of a positive lens and a negative lens. The optical system satisfies the following conditional expressions at the same time.

[0043] (1) 0.350 < Bf / y < 0.700 (2) 1.350 < TL / y < 2.000 (4) 1.500 < tp1 / tn1 < 7.000 in, Bf: Back focal length in air conversion length y: maximum image height TL: The distance from the lens surface closest to the object to the image surface tp1: Center thickness of the positive lens constituting the first cemented lens tn1: Center thickness of the negative lens constituting the first cemented lens

[0044] Conditional expression (4) specifies the ratio of the center thickness of the positive lens constituting the first joint lens to the center thickness of the negative lens constituting the first joint lens. The optical system of this embodiment satisfies conditional expression (4), thereby being able to appropriately correct various aberrations while suppressing the increase in the total length of the optical system.

[0045] In the optical system of this embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (4) exceeds the upper limit, the thickness on the optical axis of the positive lens constituting the first cemented lens becomes too large, and the total length of the optical system increases.

[0046] In the optical system of this embodiment, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably by setting the upper limit value of conditional expression (4) to 7.000. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferred to set the upper limit value of conditional expression (4) to 6.000, and further to 5.000.

[0047] In the optical system of this embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (4) is lower than the lower limit, the refractive power of the positive lens constituting the first cemented lens cannot be sufficiently strong, and it is difficult to correct various aberrations such as chromatic aberration and Petzval sum.

[0048] In the optical system of this embodiment, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably by setting the lower limit value of conditional expression (4) to 1.500. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferable to set the lower limit value of conditional expression (4) to 1.800, and further to 3.000.

[0049] In an optical system that satisfies conditional expressions (1), (2), and (4) at the same time, it is possible to suppress the increase in the total length of the optical system, ensure an appropriate length of back focus, suppress shadows in the imaging element, and appropriately correct various aberrations.

[0050] The optical system of this embodiment is composed of a first lens group, an aperture stop and a rear group in sequence from the object side. The rear group has a first combined lens composed of a positive lens and a negative lens. The first lens group has a positive lens arranged on the closest object side. The optical system simultaneously satisfies the following conditional expressions.

[0051] (5) 1.000 < f / y < 1.600 (6) 0.025 < t1 / f < 0.080 in, f: focal length of the entire optical system y: maximum image height t1: The center thickness of the lens closest to the object side

[0052] Conditional expression (5) defines the ratio of the focal length of the entire optical system to the maximum image height. The optical system of this embodiment satisfies conditional expression (5) and can appropriately correct spherical aberration and coma at the same time while suppressing an increase in the total length of the optical system.

[0053] In the optical system of this embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (5) exceeds the upper limit, the focal length of the optical system becomes too long, and the total length of the optical system increases. In addition, when the total length of the optical system is to be shortened, it is difficult to appropriately correct various aberrations.

[0054] In the optical system of this embodiment, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably by setting the upper limit value of conditional expression (5) to 1.600. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferable to set the upper limit value of conditional expression (5) to 1.550, and further to 1.500.

[0055] In addition, in the optical system of the present embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (5) is lower than the lower limit value, the difference between the deviation angle of the on-axis light beam and the deviation angle of the off-axis light beam for the lens closest to the object side becomes larger, making it difficult to simultaneously correct the spherical aberration caused by the on-axis light beam and the coma caused by the off-axis light beam.

[0056] In the optical system of this embodiment, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably by setting the lower limit value of conditional expression (5) to 1.000. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferable to set the lower limit value of conditional expression (5) to 1.100, and further to 1.200.

[0057] Conditional expression (6) specifies the ratio of the center thickness of the lens closest to the object to the focal length of the entire optical system. The optical system of this embodiment satisfies conditional expression (6), thereby being able to properly correct coma while arranging the exit pupil at an appropriate position.

[0058] In the optical system of this embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (6) exceeds the upper limit, the thickness of the positive lens arranged on the most object side becomes too thick, and since the position of the aperture stop is close to the image plane, it is difficult to arrange the exit pupil at an appropriate position.

[0059] In the optical system of this embodiment, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably by setting the upper limit value of conditional expression (6) to 0.080. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferable to set the upper limit value of conditional expression (6) to 0.075, and further to 0.070.

[0060] In the optical system of the present embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (6) is below the lower limit, the thickness of the positive lens arranged on the most object side becomes too thin, making it difficult to correct coma aberration.

[0061] In the optical system of this embodiment, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably by setting the lower limit value of conditional expression (6) to 0.025. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferable to set the lower limit value of conditional expression (6) to 0.030, and further to 0.035.

[0062] In an optical system that satisfies both conditional expressions (5) and (6), the exit pupil can be arranged at an appropriate position while suppressing an increase in the total length of the optical system, and spherical aberration and coma can be appropriately corrected simultaneously.

[0063] In addition, in the optical system of the present embodiment, it is preferable that the optical system satisfies the following conditional expression.

[0064] (7) 3.000 < νdp1-νdn1 < 30.000 in, νdp1: Abbe number of the positive lens constituting the first cemented lens based on the d line νdn1: Abbe number of the negative lens constituting the first cemented lens based on the d line

[0065] Conditional expression (7) defines the difference in Abbe number based on the d-line in the positive lens and the negative lens constituting the first cemented lens. The optical system of this embodiment satisfies conditional expression (7), thereby being able to appropriately correct chromatic aberration by the first cemented lens.

[0066] In the optical system of the present embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (7) exceeds the upper limit, correction of chromatic aberration by the first cemented lens becomes excessive.

[0067] In the optical system of this embodiment, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably by setting the upper limit value of conditional expression (7) to 30.000. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferable to set the upper limit value of conditional expression (7) to 25.000, and further to 20.000.

[0068] In the optical system of the present embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (7) is lower than the lower limit, correction of chromatic aberration by the first cemented lens becomes too small.

[0069] In the optical system of this embodiment, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably by setting the lower limit value of conditional expression (7) to 3.000. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferable to set the lower limit value of conditional expression (7) to 4.500, and further to 5.000.

[0070] In the optical system of the present embodiment, it is preferable that the rear group is composed of a positive lens and a negative lens and has a second cemented lens different from the first cemented lens.

[0071] In the optical system of this embodiment, by having such a configuration, it is possible to appropriately correct the chromatic aberration of magnification.

[0072] In addition, in the optical system of the present embodiment, it is preferable that the following conditional expression is satisfied.

[0073] (8) 1.000 < f / y < 1.380 f: focal length of the entire optical system

[0074] Conditional expression (8) specifies the ratio of the focal length of the entire optical system to the maximum image height. The optical system of this embodiment satisfies conditional expression (8), thereby being able to appropriately correct spherical aberration and coma at the same time while appropriately correcting chromatic aberration of magnification through the first and second cemented lenses.

[0075] In the optical system of the present embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (8) exceeds the upper limit value, chromatic aberration of magnification cannot be appropriately corrected by the first cemented lens and the second cemented lens.

[0076] In the optical system of this embodiment, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably by setting the upper limit value of conditional expression (8) to 1.380. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferable to set the upper limit value of conditional expression (8) to 1.330, and further to 1.280.

[0077] In addition, in the optical system of the present embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (8) is lower than the lower limit, the difference between the deflection angle of the on-axis light beam and the deflection angle of the off-axis light beam for the lens closest to the object side becomes larger, making it difficult to appropriately correct spherical aberration and coma at the same time.

[0078] In the optical system of this embodiment, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably by setting the lower limit value of conditional expression (8) to 1.000. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferable to set the lower limit value of conditional expression (8) to 1.100, and further to 1.200.

[0079] In the optical system of the present embodiment, it is preferred that, in the first cemented lens and the second cemented lens, a negative lens is arranged on the object side for the cemented lens arranged on the object side, and a negative lens is arranged on the image side for the cemented lens arranged on the image side.

[0080] In the optical system of the present embodiment, in the cemented lens, by arranging a negative lens on the object side where the on-axis light beam is thicker, various aberrations, especially spherical aberration, can be effectively corrected. In addition, by making the first cemented lens and the second cemented lens have a symmetrical shape, various aberrations, especially coma, can be effectively corrected.

[0081] In addition, in the optical system of the present embodiment, it is preferable that the following conditional expression is satisfied.

[0082] (9) -0.030 < fc1 / fc2 < 1.000 in, fc1: The combined focal length of the first cemented lens and the second cemented lens that is located on the object side fc2: The combined focal length of the first cemented lens and the second cemented lens that is disposed on the image plane side

[0083] Conditional formula (9) specifies the ratio of the composite focal length of the first and second combined lenses disposed on the object side to the composite focal length of the first and second combined lenses disposed on the image side. The optical system of this embodiment satisfies conditional formula (9), thereby suppressing the increase in the total length of the optical system while suppressing the generation of spherical aberration.

[0084] In the optical system of this embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (9) exceeds the upper limit, the refractive power of the first and second cemented lenses arranged on the image plane side increases, and the total length of the optical system becomes too long.

[0085] In the optical system of this embodiment, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably by setting the upper limit value of conditional expression (9) to 1.000. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferable to set the upper limit value of conditional expression (9) to 0.960, and further to 0.930.

[0086] In the optical system of this embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (9) is lower than the lower limit, the refractive power of the cemented lens arranged on the image plane side of the first cemented lens and the second cemented lens increases, causing spherical aberration.

[0087] In the optical system of this embodiment, by setting the lower limit value of conditional expression (9) to -0.030, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferable to set the lower limit value of conditional expression (9) to -0.020, and further to -0.010.

[0088] In addition, in the optical system of the present embodiment, it is preferable that the following conditional expression is satisfied.

[0090] Conditional expression (10) specifies the ratio of the refractive index of the positive lens constituting the second cemented lens to the refractive index of the negative lens constituting the second cemented lens. The optical system of this embodiment can appropriately correct the Petzval sum by having a second cemented lens satisfying conditional expression (10).

[0091] In the optical system of the present embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (10) exceeds the upper limit, the refractive power on the cemented surface of the second cemented lens becomes too strong, and large aberrations occur.

[0092] In the optical system of this embodiment, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably by setting the upper limit value of conditional expression (10) to 0.400. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferred to set the upper limit value of conditional expression (10) to 0.350, and further to 0.300.

[0093] In the optical system of the present embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (10) is lower than the lower limit, the Petzval sum cannot be appropriately corrected by the second cemented lens, and field curvature occurs.

[0094] In the optical system of this embodiment, by setting the lower limit value of conditional expression (10) to 0.050, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferable to set the lower limit value of conditional expression (10) to 0.060, and further to 0.070.

[0095] In addition, in the optical system of the present embodiment, it is preferable that the following conditional expression is satisfied.

[0096] (11) 3.000 < νdp2-νdn2 < 30.000 in, νdp2: Abbe number of the positive lens constituting the second cemented lens based on the d line νdn2: Abbe number of the negative lens constituting the second cemented lens based on the d line

[0097] Conditional expression (11) specifies the difference between the Abbe number of the positive lens constituting the second cemented lens based on the d-line and the Abbe number of the negative lens constituting the second cemented lens based on the d-line. The optical system of this embodiment satisfies conditional expression (11), thereby being able to appropriately correct chromatic aberration through the second cemented lens.

[0098] In the optical system of the present embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (11) exceeds the upper limit value, the correction of chromatic aberration by the second cemented lens becomes excessive.

[0099] In the optical system of this embodiment, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably by setting the upper limit value of conditional expression (11) to 30.000. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferred to set the upper limit value of conditional expression (11) to 25.000, and further to 20.000.

[0100] In the optical system of the present embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (11) is lower than the lower limit, correction of chromatic aberration by the second cemented lens becomes too small.

In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferable to set the lower limit value of conditional expression (11) to 4.500, and further to 5.000.

[0102] In addition, in the optical system of the present embodiment, it is preferable that the following conditional expression is satisfied.

[0103] (12) 0.550 < (ΣΔPzi) / ΔPz < 1.400 in, ΣΔPzi: The sum of the Petzval sum of each of at least one cemented lens composed of a positive lens and a negative lens and included in the rear group and the reciprocal of the combined focal length of the cemented lens ΔPz: The sum of the Petzval sum of the entire optical system and the reciprocal of the focal length of the entire optical system

In conditional formula (12), the numerator represents the correction power of the Petzval sum in the cemented lens, and the denominator represents the correction power of the Petzval sum in the entire optical system. The optical system of this embodiment satisfies conditional formula (12), so that the image curvature can be appropriately corrected by the cemented lens.

[0127] In the optical system of this embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (15) exceeds the upper limit, the total length of the optical system becomes too large. In addition, the focal length is too short relative to the total length, and the focal length of each group becomes short, making it difficult to correct coma and spherical aberration.

[0128] In the optical system of this embodiment, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably by setting the upper limit value of conditional expression (15) to 1.600.

[0145] In the optical system of this embodiment, when the first lens group has three or more lenses, the total length of the optical system increases.

[0158] In the optical system of this embodiment, when the value of conditional expression (19) exceeds the upper limit, the center thickness of the lens closest to the object side becomes larger and the position of the aperture stop surface is closer to the image plane, so the exit pupil becomes shorter and shadows are easily generated in the shooting element.

[0228] In the optical system of this embodiment, by setting the lower limit value of conditional expression (28) to 0.400, the effect of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably. In addition, in order to obtain the effect of this embodiment more reliably, it is preferred to set the lower limit value of conditional expression (28) to 0.450, and further to 0.500.

[0240] (First embodiment)

[0241] Figure 1 It is a cross-sectional view of the optical system of the first embodiment when an object at infinity is in focus.

[0242] The optical system of this embodiment comprises, from the object side, a first lens group G1 with positive optical power, an aperture stop S, a second lens group G2 with positive optical power, a third lens group G3 with negative optical power, and a fourth lens group G4 with positive optical power.

[0243] The first lens group G1 is composed of a positive meniscus lens L1 having a convex surface facing the object side.

[0244] The second lens group G2 is composed of the following lenses in sequence from the object side: a cemented positive lens composed of a biconcave negative lens L2 and a biconvex positive lens L3, a cemented positive lens composed of a biconvex positive lens L4 and a biconcave negative lens L5, and a meniscus-shaped positive lens L6 with the concave surface facing the object side.

[0245] The third lens group G3 is composed of a negative meniscus lens L7 having a concave surface facing the object side.

[0246] The fourth lens group G4 is composed of a positive lens L8 of a meniscus shape with a concave surface facing the object side. The positive lens L8 is formed by providing a resin layer on the surface on the object side of a glass lens body. The positive lens L8 is a composite aspheric lens in which the surface on the object side of the resin layer is an aspheric surface. In the [lens parameters] described later, surface number 14 represents the surface on the object side of the resin layer, surface number 15 represents the surface on the image side of the resin layer and the surface on the object side of the lens body (the surface where the resin layer and the lens body are bonded), and surface number 16 represents the surface on the image side of the lens body. In the present embodiment, the composite aspheric lens is regarded as one aspheric lens. Therefore, the surface with surface number 14 is equivalent to the object side lens surface of the positive lens L8, and the sum of the surface intervals of surface number 14 and surface number 15 is equivalent to the center thickness of the positive lens L8.

[0247] An imaging element (not shown) composed of a CCD or a CMOS or the like is arranged on the image plane I.

In the optical system of this embodiment, when focusing on a close object from a state focused on infinity, the optical system moves from the image plane side to the object side.

[0249] In the optical system of this embodiment, the second lens group G2, the third lens group and the fourth lens group are equivalent to the rear group. In addition, the cemented positive lens composed of the negative lens L2 and the positive lens L3 is equivalent to the first cemented lens, and the cemented positive lens composed of the positive lens L4 and the negative lens L5 is equivalent to the second cemented lens.

[0252] When the height perpendicular to the optical axis is y, the distance along the optical axis from the tangent plane of each aspheric surface at the height y to each aspheric surface (the amount of depression) is S(y), the radius of curvature of the reference spherical surface (paraxial radius of curvature) is r, the cone constant is K, and the n-order aspheric coefficient is An, the aspheric surface is represented by the following formula (a). In addition, in each embodiment, the quadratic aspheric coefficient A2 is 0. In addition, "En" represents "×10 -n ”.

[0253] (a) S(y) = (y 2 / r) / { 1 + (1-K×y 2 / r 2 ) 1 / 2} + A4×y 4 + A6×y 6 + A8×y 8 +A10×y 10 +A12×y 12 + A14×y 14 +A16×y 16 + A18×y 18

[0254] In [Overall Parameters] in Table 1, f represents the focal length of the entire optical system, F.NO represents the F value of the optical system, ω represents the half field angle (degrees), Y represents the maximum image height, and TL represents the distance from the lens surface closest to the object to the image plane when focusing on an object at infinity.

[0255] In "Back Focus" in Table 1, Bf represents the back focus of the optical system in terms of air conversion length.

[0256] The focal length f, the radius of curvature r, and other lengths described in Table 1 are expressed in “mm.” However, even if the optical system is scaled up or scaled down, the same optical performance can be obtained, and therefore the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0264] Figure 21 and 10 are diagrams showing various aberrations of the optical system of the first embodiment when an object at infinity is in focus.

[0265] In each aberration diagram, FNO represents the F value, and Y represents the image height. In detail, the value of the F value corresponding to the maximum aperture is shown in the spherical aberration diagram, the maximum value of the image height is shown in the astigmatism diagram and the distortion diagram, and the value of each image height is shown in the coma diagram. d represents the d line, and g represents the g line (wavelength 435.8nm).

[0363] In other variations, it is also possible to replace Fig.12 Instead of step S13 in the method for manufacturing the optical system shown in the figure, step S33 shown below is executed.

[0364] Step S33: Make the optical system satisfy the following conditional expressions simultaneously.

[0365] (5) 1.000 < f / y < 1.600 (6) 0.025 < t1 / f < 0.080 in, f: focal length of the entire optical system y: maximum image height t1: The center thickness of the positive lens located closest to the object side

[0366] According to these methods for manufacturing an optical system of the present embodiment, it is possible to manufacture an optical system having good imaging performance.

[0367] Although a four-group structure is shown as an embodiment of the optical system of this embodiment, this embodiment is not limited to the four-group structure, and may also be other group structures (e.g., a five-group structure, etc.). Specifically, the optical system of this embodiment may also have a structure in which lenses or optical components are added to the object side or the image plane side of the optical system of the embodiment.

[0368] The optical system of this embodiment may also include an anti-shake lens group, which corrects image shake caused by hand shake by moving in a manner having a component in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. The anti-shake lens group may be a lens group or a partial lens group composed of one or more lens components included in the lens group.

[0369] In the optical system of this embodiment, when focusing, the entire optical system, any one lens group, multiple lens groups, or part of the lens groups may be moved in the optical axis direction. For example, when focusing from an infinitely distant object to a close object, the lens group arranged on the object side relative to the aperture stop and the lens group arranged on the image side relative to the aperture stop may be moved toward the object side by different amounts.

[0370] In the optical system of this embodiment, the lens surface may be formed by a spherical surface or a flat surface, or may be formed by an aspherical surface. When the lens surface is a spherical surface or a flat surface, lens processing and assembly adjustment become easy, and the degradation of optical performance caused by errors in processing and assembly adjustment is prevented, so it is preferred. In addition, when the lens surface is a spherical surface or a flat surface, the degradation of the image rendering performance when the image plane is offset is small, so it is preferred.

[0371] When the lens surface is an aspheric surface, the aspheric surface can also be formed by grinding glass or glass molding using a mold having an aspheric shape, or can be formed on a resin surface bonded to the glass surface. In addition, in the optical system of this embodiment, the lens surface can also be a diffraction surface, and the lens can also be a refractive index distribution lens (GRIN lens) or a plastic lens.

[0372] In the optical system of this embodiment, the aperture stop is preferably arranged between the first lens group and the second lens group. However, instead of providing an independent component as the aperture stop, a lens frame or the like may be used to replace the aperture stop.

[0373] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can add various changes, substitutions, and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.
