[0002] In recent years, with the development of technology, the demand for optical lenses in daily life has been increasing, and optical lenses are being applied in more and more scenarios. For example, in automotive autonomous driving assistance systems, the emerging autonomous driving technology places extremely high demands on the vehicle's ability to perceive its surroundings. LiDAR is a key device for detecting information around a vehicle, and the optical lens mounted on a LiDAR is a crucial component for this ability to perceive the surrounding environment.

[0003] With the rapid development of autonomous driving assistance systems in automobiles, the optical lenses used in LiDAR are evolving towards miniaturization and high performance. Simultaneously, as the safety requirements of these systems increase, higher collimation performance is typically required in optical lenses to ensure more accurate signal detection and maintain the concentration of laser energy. Currently, optical lenses often employ the addition of aspherical mirrors to guarantee collimation performance. However, these lenses are relatively large, costly, and have a large chief ray angle (CRA), which is detrimental to achieving properly collimated laser emission.

[0030] According to another aspect of the present invention, an electronic device is provided, comprising the aforementioned optical lens and an imaging element for converting an optical image formed by the optical lens into an electrical signal.

[0031] This application provides a six-element optical lens. The first, second, and third lenses are configured with negative optical power and convex-concave shapes, enabling the collection of light at large angles, ensuring sufficient light transmission, adjusting light path, and improving imaging performance at the edges of the field of view. The fourth lens is configured with positive optical power, and both its first and second sides are convex, allowing it to work with the first three lenses with negative optical power to correct aberrations. The fifth lens is configured with positive optical power and its second side is convex, further correcting aberrations while compressing the forward beam to ensure a small aperture for the sixth lens, which is beneficial for achieving a small CRA (Current Aspect Ratio). Setting the sixth lens with positive optical power and a convex first side further converges the light, contributing to a small CRA. Simultaneously, constraining T56 / R10 within the range of -0.42 to -0.25 ensures that the second side of the fifth lens is more convex, allowing forward light to converge quickly. Combined with a larger air gap between the fifth and sixth lenses, this ensures that the principal ray in each field of view is close to the corresponding image height at the intersection point of the first side of the sixth lens. Maintaining a large air gap ensures that the principal rays in each field of view are nearly parallel to the optical axis, thereby guaranteeing high receiving efficiency and image quality on the imaging surface. This ultimately results in a wide field of view, a small CRA (Cost Aspect Ratio), and high image quality for the optical lens. Especially for optical lenses used in lidar transmission, it enables high emission collimation performance, allowing the collimation of the optical lens to be less than 0.4°, meaning the average angle of deviation of all outgoing rays from the optical axis is less than 0.4°.

Detailed Implementation

[0039] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0040] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0041] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" are generally used in relation to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or in relation to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction of the component itself; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not intended to limit this invention.

[0042] 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 this application, the first lens discussed below may also be referred to as the second lens or the third lens.

[0043] 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 drawn strictly to scale.

[0044] In this paper, the paraxial region refers to the region near the optical axis. If the lens surface is convex and the location of the convexity is not defined, it means that the lens surface is convex at least in the paraxial region; if the lens surface is concave and the location of the concaveness is not defined, it means that the lens surface is concave at least in the paraxial region. The surface of each lens closest to the object side is called the first side surface of the lens, and the surface of each lens closest to the image side is called the second side surface of the lens. The surface shape in the paraxial region can be determined according to the judgment method commonly used by those knowledgeable in the field, using the R value (R refers to the radius of curvature of the paraxial region, usually the R value in the lens database of optical software) to determine concavity or convexity. For the first side surface, when the R value is positive, it is determined to be convex, and when the R value is negative, it is determined to be concave; for the second side surface, when the R value is positive, it is determined to be concave, and when the R value is negative, it is determined to be convex.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens provided in this application can be used as a light receiving lens or a light emitting lens, wherein: the light receiving lens is generally used to collect light from the object-side space, and the collected light is used to form detection information, including but not limited to imaging, laser point clouds, etc.; the light emitting lens is generally used to transmit light from the light emitting element to the object-side space, and the light transmitted to the object-side space can be divided into projection light for forming a projection image or detection light for detecting target information, etc., according to the function of the light.

[0046] It is understood that when the optical lens provided in this application is used as a light-receiving lens such as a camera lens, a lidar receiver lens, a microscope lens, or a telescope lens, the term "first side" as used herein may refer to the object side, and "second side" may refer to the image side (such as the side closer to the photoelectric sensor or the retina), meaning that light from the object can form an image on the image side. Examples include camera lenses used in devices such as vehicle-mounted cameras, infrared cameras, drone cameras, night vision cameras, and security monitoring cameras. When the optical lens provided in this application is used as a projection lens or a lidar transmitter lens, the term "first side" as used herein may refer to the object side, and "second side" may refer to the light source side.

[0047] In some possible implementations, the optical lens provided in this application can also simultaneously perform both light receiving and light transmitting functions. For example, the optical lens provided in this application is used in a lidar system with shared light and light paths, where the optical lens simultaneously performs the functions of emitting laser light and receiving radar echo beams. As another example, the optical lens provided in this application is used in a system integrating optical communication and radar, where the optical lens simultaneously performs the functions of emitting modulated optical signals and receiving radar echo beams.

[0048] To address the challenges of simultaneously achieving a large field of view, miniaturization, low cost, small CRA, high imaging quality, and high collimation performance in existing optical lenses, this invention provides an optical lens and an electronic device.

[0049] In some alternative embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 28 The optical lens consists of six lenses with optical power: the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, and the sixth lens. These six lenses are arranged sequentially from the first side to the second side along the optical axis.

[0050] In some alternative embodiments, the first lens has negative optical power, a first side surface of the first lens is convex, and a second side surface of the first lens is concave. The first lens, being closest to the first side in the optical lens, is set to negative optical power, and its first side surface is convex. This facilitates beam convergence, reducing the diameter of the received beam and thus decreasing the size of the rear lens. Ultimately, this contributes to the miniaturization of the optical lens and reduces manufacturing costs. Simultaneously, the second side surface of the first lens is designed to be concave, making the first lens overall meniscus with the concave side facing the second side. This allows light to enter the rear optical system smoothly, thus mitigating the trajectory of edge rays and reducing the incident angle of the principal rays in each field of view, thereby improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0051] In some alternative embodiments, the second lens has negative optical power, a first convex surface, and a second concave surface. The negative optical power and convex first surface of the second lens allow it to slightly converge the light beam diffused by the first lens, adjusting the light path and helping to reduce the aperture of subsequent third to sixth lenses, thus achieving cost reduction. Simultaneously, the concave second surface of the second lens, matching the shape of the first lens, ensures that both the first and second lenses are large-angle lenses, which facilitates light convergence in a wide-angle field of view, thereby adjusting the path of edge beams and ensuring the optical lens has a large field of view.

[0052] In some alternative embodiments, the third lens has negative optical power, a first convex surface, and a second concave surface. Setting the third lens to negative optical power and a convex first surface slightly converges the diffused light beams from the first and second lenses, smoothing the light path and thus alleviating the resolving pressure on the edge fields of view from the second surface of the third lens and the fourth to sixth lenses behind it. Setting the second surface of the third lens to be concave further adjusts and expands the light beam, ensuring that each field-of-view beam is incident on the fourth to sixth lenses with slight beam expansion, guaranteeing high imaging quality at the edge fields of view. Specifically, when the optical lens is applied to a lidar transmitter, the third lens provides high collimation performance over a large field of view.

[0053] In some alternative embodiments, the fourth lens has positive optical power, and both its first and second sides are convex. By setting the fourth lens to positive optical power, and ensuring that both its first and second sides are convex, optical power compensation is achieved with the first three lenses, which have negative optical power, thus achieving a balance in optical power. The design of the first, second, and third lenses having negative optical power helps to expand the field of view of the optical lens, while the fourth lens, with its first and second sides being convex, converges and focuses the beams diffused by the first three lenses with negative optical power, initiating the converging imaging process of the optical lens.

[0054] In some alternative embodiments, the third lens and the fourth lens are cemented together to form a cemented lens. The combination of the positive and negative optical powers of the fourth and third lenses can smoothly transition the light transmitted from the front to the rear optical system, allowing various aberrations in the optical lens to be fully corrected. In particular, it has a good adjustment effect on spherical aberration in the central field of view and coma in the large field of view, which is beneficial to improving the imaging quality of the optical lens. As an intermediate transition, the cemented lens can balance the optical power distribution of the front group, prevent the optical lens from being excessively elongated, and facilitate a more compact overall axial length. This aligns with the industry trend of miniaturization in LiDAR modules and is conducive to achieving excellent performance in large field of view emission and high collimation output.

[0055] In some alternative embodiments, the fifth lens has positive optical power, a concave first side surface, and a convex second side surface. Setting the fifth lens to positive optical power and having a concave first side surface smooths the light path, which is beneficial for correcting edge field-of-view aberrations and thus improving the imaging performance of the optical lens. Simultaneously, the convex second side surface of the fifth lens compresses the forward beam, ensuring a smaller aperture for the sixth lens and making the intersection point of the principal ray of each field of view with the first side surface of the sixth lens close to the corresponding image height, which is beneficial for achieving a small CRA (Collateral Recognition Aberration). Optionally, for optical lenses used in lidar transmission, the above design can significantly improve transmission collimation performance.

[0056] In some alternative embodiments, the fifth lens has positive optical power, and both its first and second sides are convex. Setting the fifth lens to positive optical power and cooperating with the fourth lens allows for a second convergence adjustment of the light beam, reducing the resolving pressure on the fourth lens. Simultaneously, the convexity of both sides of the fifth lens facilitates smooth convergence of the forward light beam, improving the imaging quality of the optical lens. This also reduces the aperture of the rear sixth lens, thus achieving miniaturization. Optionally, for optical lenses used in lidar emission, the above design achieves both high-quality collimation performance and the trend towards miniaturization.

[0057] In some alternative embodiments, the fifth lens has positive optical power, a first side surface that is planar, and a second side surface that is convex. Setting the fifth lens to positive optical power and having a planar first side surface smooths the light path while improving its manufacturability and reducing assembly difficulty. The convex second side surface of the fifth lens compresses the forward light beam, thereby ensuring a smaller aperture for the subsequent sixth lens and guaranteeing the miniaturization of the optical lens.

[0058] In some alternative embodiments, the sixth lens has positive optical power, a convex first side, and a concave second side. By setting the sixth lens to positive optical power and having a convex first side, it works in conjunction with the fourth and fifth lenses to effectively converge the already converging light beam a third time. The beam is then passed to the second side of the sixth lens for final resolution. The concave second side of the sixth lens creates a crescent shape facing the second side, effectively smoothing the path of light after passing through the fourth and fifth lenses, contributing to a small CRA (Cost Reduction Aspect) and high image quality in the optical lens.

[0059] In some alternative embodiments, the sixth lens has positive optical power, and both its first and second sides are convex. Setting the sixth lens to positive optical power and having both sides convex gives it strong positive refractive power, thereby effectively converging the light beam onto the imaging plane. Because the effective focal length of the sixth lens is relatively small, it complements the third, fourth, and fifth lenses in the preceding transition lens group, thus performing final aberration correction and ensuring high image quality from the optical lens.

[0060] In some alternative embodiments, the sixth lens has positive optical power, a convex first side, and a flat second side. By setting the sixth lens to positive optical power and having a convex first side, it works in conjunction with the preceding fourth and fifth lenses to further converge the light beam and transmit it to the second side for final resolution. The flat second side of the sixth lens helps to smooth the light path while reducing the sensitivity of the sixth lens, ensuring image quality.

[0061] In some optional embodiments, the optical lens satisfies: -0.42 ≤ T56 / R10 ≤ -0.25, where T56 is the air gap between the fifth and sixth lenses on the optical axis, and R10 is the radius of curvature of the second side surface of the fifth lens. By limiting -0.42 ≤ T56 / R10 ≤ -0.25, the second side surface of the fifth lens is made more convex, allowing the forward light rays to converge quickly after passing through the second side surface of the fifth lens. Combined with the larger air gap between the fifth and sixth lenses, this ensures that the principal ray of each field of view is close to the corresponding image height at the intersection point of the first side surface of the sixth lens. Maintaining a large air gap allows the principal rays of each field of view to be nearly parallel to the optical axis, thus ensuring high receiving efficiency and image quality of the imaging surface while limiting the size of the optical lens. Ultimately, this achieves a wide field of view, a small CRA (Collateral Radiation Aspect Ratio), and high image quality, allowing the collimation of the optical lens to be less than 0.4°, meaning the average angle of deviation of all outgoing rays from the optical axis is less than 0.4°. This is particularly beneficial for optical lenses used in lidar transmission, enabling high transmission collimation performance.

By limiting -1.6 ≤ R5 / F2 ≤ -0.75, the ratio of the radius of curvature of the first side of the third lens to the effective focal length of the second lens is reasonably controlled, which can adjust the trend of the continuously diffused light after passing through the second lens to be slightly smoother, thereby alleviating the resolving pressure on the edge field of view of the subsequent third to sixth lenses, and thus improving the imaging quality of the optical lens. Preferably, the optical lens can further satisfy -1.4 ≤ R5 / F2 ≤ -0.9 to balance the optical path trend of the optical lens, which is beneficial to further improving the imaging quality of the optical lens. More preferably, the optical lens can further satisfy -1.3980 ≤ R5 / F2 ≤ -0.9259, which is beneficial to further improve the resolving power of the optical lens and further improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0096] It should be noted that the total optical length TTL of the optical lens is the distance on the optical axis between the first side surface of the first lens and the imaging plane of the optical lens; the optical back focal length BFL is the distance on the optical axis between the second side surface of the sixth lens and the imaging plane of the optical lens; the sagitta SAG10 of the second side surface of the fifth lens is the distance on the optical axis between the intersection of the second side surface of the fifth lens and the optical axis of the optical lens and the vertex of the effective radius of the second side surface of the fifth lens; and the sagitta SAG11 of the first side surface of the sixth lens is the distance on the optical axis between the intersection of the first side surface of the sixth lens and the optical axis of the optical lens and the vertex of the effective radius of the first side surface of the sixth lens.

[0097] In another alternative implementation, the effective focal length of the third lens can be set to be larger by controlling -12≤F3 / F≤-5. In this case, the incident angle of the large field of view light transmitted by the first and second lenses can be adjusted, thereby ensuring that the apertures of the subsequent fourth, fifth and sixth lenses are smaller, compressing the volume of the optical lens and reducing material costs. At the same time, aberration balance adjustment is performed on the large field of view light gathered by the first and second lenses with negative optical power, especially the coma adjustment under the large field of view, ultimately achieving high imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0098] In another optional embodiment, by setting -1.7≤R8 / R7≤-0.8, 0.8≤(CT3+CT4) / F4≤1.3, and 2.2≤F34 / F≤5.5, the radii of curvature of the first and second sides of the fourth lens are close to or equal, and both the first and second sides of the fourth lens are convex surfaces. Together with the third lens, they form a thick lens group, generating high positive refractive power, undertaking the main converging task, and maintaining superior performance. The cemented joint between the third and fourth lenses serves as an intermediate transition. The thicker cemented lens helps improve structural stability and optical performance. Simultaneously, the smaller effective focal length of the fourth lens balances the optical power distribution of the front and rear optical systems, preventing excessive elongation of the optical lens, thereby achieving a smaller overall length of the optical lens, conforming to the miniaturization trend of radar modules. Optionally, the aforementioned optical lens may also include a filter for correcting color deviation and a protective glass for protecting the photosensitive element located on the imaging plane.

[0099] The optical lens in this application can employ multiple lenses, such as the six lenses mentioned above. In this application, at least one of the mirror surfaces of each lens is 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 aberrations and astigmatism. By using aspherical lenses, aberrations occurring during imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, thereby improving image quality. The use of aspherical lenses helps correct system aberrations and improves resolving power. Specifically, when the imaging quality of the optical lens is of primary concern, all six lenses can be aspherical lenses.

[0100] In an exemplary embodiment, the first to sixth lenses can all be glass lenses. Optical lenses made of glass can suppress the shift in the back focus of the optical lens due to temperature changes, thereby improving system stability. Simultaneously, using glass avoids lens blurring caused by high and low temperature variations in the operating environment, thus preventing interference with normal lens use. For example, an all-glass optical lens has a wider temperature range, maintaining stable optical performance within the range of -40℃ to 105℃. Specifically, when resolution and reliability are of primary concern, the first to sixth lenses can all be aspherical glass lenses. Of course, in applications with lower temperature stability requirements, the first to sixth lenses in the optical lens can also be made of plastic. Using plastic to make optical lenses can effectively reduce manufacturing costs. Alternatively, the first to sixth lenses in the optical lens can also be made of a combination of plastic and glass.

[0101] However, those skilled in the art will understand that the number of lenses constituting the optical lens can be varied to obtain the various results and advantages described herein without departing from the technical solutions claimed in this application. For example, although six lenses are described as an example in the embodiments, the optical lens is not limited to including six lenses. If necessary, the optical lens may also include other numbers of lenses.

[0102] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrates examples of specific surface shapes and parameters of optical lenses applicable to the above embodiments.

[0103] It should be noted that in the basic structural parameter tables of the optical lenses in Examples 1 to 14, the units of radius of curvature (Radius) and thickness (Thickness / distance) are all millimeters (mm), Surf is the surface number of the lens, Nd is the refractive index, Vd is the Abbe number, and Infinity represents infinity. In the MTF curves of the optical lenses in Examples 1 to 14, the horizontal axis represents spatial frequency, with units of lp / mm (Spatial Frequency in cycles per mm); the vertical axis represents the modulus of the OTF (Optical Transfer Function). Specifically, 0.00 (deg) - Tangential represents the curve at 0° meridional field of view, i.e., the curve at the center of the meridional field of view; 0.00 (deg) - Sagittal represents the curve at 0° sagittal field of view, i.e., the curve at the center of the sagittal field of view; 46.74 (deg) - Tangential represents the curve at 46.74° meridional field of view; 46.74 (deg) - Sagittal represents the curve at 46.74° sagittal field of view; 85.3 (deg) - Tangential represents the curve at 85.3° meridional field of view; 85.3 (deg) - Sagittal represents the curve at 85.3° sagittal field of view.

The second lens L2 has negative optical power, its first side surface S3 is convex, and its second side surface S4 is concave. The third lens L3 has negative optical power, its first side surface S5 is convex, and its second side surface S6 is concave. The fourth lens L4 has positive optical power, its first side surface S7 is convex, and its second side surface S8 is convex. The fifth lens L5 has positive optical power, its first side surface S9 is flat, and its second side surface S10 is convex. The sixth lens L6 has positive optical power, its first side surface S11 is convex, and its second side surface S12 is flat. The third lens E3 and the fourth lens E4 form a cemented lens, and the aperture stop STO is located between the second lens E2 and the third lens E3. Light from the object passes sequentially through surfaces S1 to S12 and is finally imaged onto the imaging plane IMA. Table 14 shows the basic structural parameters of the optical lens of Embodiment Fourteen.

[0187] Figure 28 The MTF curve of the optical lens of Embodiment Fourteen is shown, which represents the optical lens's ability to transmit light of different wavelengths. Figure 28 As can be seen, the optical lens achieves a resolution of over 0.69 at 28 lp / mm, producing a uniform image that meets the requirements for high resolution and demonstrates excellent imaging performance.

[0188] Comparative Example 1

[0189] like Figure 29 As shown, the optical lens, from the object side to the image side, includes a first lens L1, a second lens L2, an aperture stop STO, a third lens L3, a fourth lens L4, a fifth lens L5, a sixth lens L6, and an imaging plane IMA.

[0190] In Comparative Example 1, the first lens L1 has negative optical power, its first side surface S1 is convex, and its second side surface S2 is concave. The second lens L2 has negative optical power, its first side surface S3 is convex, and its second side surface S4 is concave. The third lens L3 has negative optical power, its first side surface S5 is convex, and its second side surface S6 is concave. The fourth lens L4 has positive optical power, its first side surface S7 is convex, and its second side surface S8 is convex. The fifth lens L5 has positive optical power, its first side surface S9 is concave, and its second side surface S10 is convex. The sixth lens L6 has positive optical power, its first side surface S11 is convex, and its second side surface S12 is concave. In this lens, the third lens E3 and the fourth lens E4 form a cemented lens, and the aperture stop STO is located between the second lens E2 and the third lens E3. Light from the object passes sequentially through each surface S1 to S12 and is finally imaged on the imaging plane IMA. Table 15 shows the basic structural parameters of the optical lens in Comparative Example 1.

[0191] Table 15

[0192]

[0193] Compared with Examples 1 to 7, in the optical lens of Comparative Example 1, T56 is only 2.004mm. At this time, T56 / R10=-0.169. The air gap between the fifth lens and the sixth lens on the optical axis is relatively small. The angle between the edge field of view rays and the optical axis is too large, which is not conducive to the imaging surface receiving light and affects the imaging quality. Figure 30 The MTF curve of the optical lens in Comparative Example 1 is shown, which represents the optical lens's ability to transmit light of different wavelengths. Figure 30 As can be seen, the minimum resolution of this optical lens is as low as 0.27 at 28 lp / mm, resulting in a blurry image and poor imaging quality.

[0194] Compared with Examples 1 to 7, it can be seen that increasing the air gap between the fifth lens and the sixth lens on the optical axis can effectively ensure that the height of the intersection point of the principal rays of each field of view at the first side of the sixth lens is close to the corresponding image height, so that the principal rays of each field of view are nearly parallel to the optical axis. This ensures that the imaging surface has high receiving efficiency and imaging quality while limiting the size of the optical lens, and ultimately achieves a wide field of view, a small CRA, and high imaging quality for the optical lens.

[0195] It should be noted that the air gap between the fifth and sixth lenses on the optical axis cannot be extended indefinitely. To ensure the miniaturization of the optical lens and the imaging quality, the optical lens needs to be constrained to satisfy -0.42≤T56 / R10≤-0.25.

[0196] In summary, Examples 1 to 7 satisfy the relationships shown in Table 16, and Examples 8 to 14 satisfy the relationships shown in Table 17.
