[0044] Table 1 Lens Parameters

[0045]

[0046] It is understandable that for two lenses that are in contact with each other, the image side of the lens in front and the object side of the lens behind are in contact along the optical axis transmission direction, and their radii of curvature are the same. Therefore, in Table 1, only the object side of the lens behind is shown.

The protective window 22 can also be replaced with a filter.

[0048] Please see Figures 2 to 9 , Figures 2 to 4 The image shows the MTF (Mean Transformer Format) of the 4K optical lens in the above embodiment in the 0.486-0.656μm band. Figures 5 to 7 The MTF diagram of the 4K optical lens in the above embodiment in the 0.76-0.96μm band; Figure 8 The field curvature / distortion of the 4K optical lens in the above embodiments in the 0.486-0.656μm band is described. Figure 9This refers to the field curvature / distortion of the 4K optical lens in the 0.76-0.96μm wavelength range described in the above embodiments. The 4K optical lens provided in this application employs a heat-free design using domestically produced spherical glass, resulting in a simple, compact structure and small size. Furthermore, it utilizes material dispersion matching; for example, a cemented doublet lens group uses a high-dispersion material lens and a low-dispersion material glass bonded together to achieve dispersion matching. The combination of different lenses and the rational allocation of optical power ensure excellent optical performance.
