[0060] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

[0061] A teleconverter extends the focal length of an existing imaging lens. It acts as a concave lens and cannot form an image on its own; it must be used in conjunction with an existing imaging lens with a positive focal length to produce a clear image. This existing imaging lens could be, for example, the lens in a mobile phone or a camera.

[0062] Example 1

[0063] Figure 1 This is a detailed structural diagram of a magnifying lens according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, with reference to... Figure 1 The teleconverter lens comprises a first lens 1, a second lens 2, a third lens 3, a fourth lens 4, a fifth lens 5, a sixth lens 6, a seventh lens 7, an eighth lens 8, a ninth lens 9, a tenth lens 10, an eleventh lens 11, a twelfth lens 12, and a thirteenth lens 13 arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object side to the image side; satisfying: Among them, lenses 1 through 9 form the front group of the system; that is, the front group includes lens 1, lens 2, lens 3, lens 4, lens 5, lens 6, lens 7, lens 8, and lens 9. The combined focal length of the front group is... Lenses 10 through 13 form the rear group of the system; that is, the rear group includes lens 10, lens 11, lens 12, and lens 13. The combined focal length of the rear group is... .

[0064] The teleconverter lens provided in this embodiment of the invention employs 13 lenses, designated as lens 1 through lens 13. Lenses 1 through 9 form the front group of the system, and lenses 10 through 13 form the rear group. The distance d1 between the front group and the rear group is variable; a larger d1 enables macro imaging. The ratio of the focal lengths of the front and rear groups is controlled to satisfy... The magnification of the teleconverter can be changed, ultimately achieving a magnification of 3× or higher to meet application requirements. The teleconverter can be paired with lens modules (i.e., imaging lenses) with a field of view within 30°, distortion at infinity is less than 1%, and the total length is within 110mm. Furthermore, the internal groups of the teleconverter can be moved to achieve macro and infinity calibration, ultimately achieving high magnification, low distortion, short total length, and high image quality.

Lenses 6 to 12 form a second group G2, meaning that the second group G2 includes lens 6, lens 7, lens 8, lens 9, lens 10, lens 11, and lens 12. This satisfies: Among them, the focal length of the first group G1 is The focal length of the second group G2 is By controlling the ratio of the focal lengths of the first group G1 to the second group G2, the lengths of the front and rear groups of the system can be reduced, making the total length of the teleconverter less than 110mm, achieving the characteristic of a short total length and improving its portability. The division of the first group G1, the second group G2, and the third group G3 is a physical division, placing lenses that are close together in the same group. The teleconverter forms an image in a single pass within the second group G2.

[0067] Optionally, the first lens 1 to the fifth lens 5 form the first group G1, and the thirteenth lens 13 forms the third group G3. That is, the third group G3 only includes the thirteenth lens 13; satisfying: Among them, the focal length of the first group G1 is The focal length of the third group G3 is . By controlling the ratio of the focal lengths of the second group G2 and the third group G3, the lengths of the front group and the rear group of the system can be reduced, making the total length of the teleconverter lens less than 110 mm, achieving the characteristic of a short total length of the teleconverter lens and improving the portability of the teleconverter lens.

[0068] Optionally, the first lens 1 to the fifth lens 5 are the first group G1; satisfying: ; where the focal length of the first lens 1 is , and the focal length of the first group G1 is . Reduce the distortion of the teleconverter lens.

By restricting the refractive indices of the lenses within the front group of the system, the chromatic aberration magnification of the system can be well controlled.

[0070] Optionally, satisfying: 26.22 < vd2 < 42.92, 56.81 < vd4 < 99.25; where the Abbe number of the second lens is vd2, and the Abbe number of the fourth lens is vd�4. By restricting the Abbe numbers of the lenses within the front group of the system, the chromatic aberration magnification of the system can be well controlled.

[0071] Optionally, satisfying: 34.03 < nd10 × vd10 < 51.13; where the refractive index of the tenth lens 10 is nd10, and the Abbe number of the tenth lens 10 is vd10. It is beneficial to reduce the off-axis aberration of the rear group of the system, thereby improving the overall resolution of the system.

[0076] Exemplarily, 1.69 < nd12 < 2.12. 20.26 < vd12 < 29.13.

[0077] Table 1. One design value for the magnifying lens in Example 1.

[0078]

[0079] Table 1 shows one design value for the teleconverter lens in Embodiment 1. The specific values ​​can be adjusted according to product requirements and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. The teleconverter lens shown in Table 1 can be... Figure 1 As shown. A lens generally consists of two surfaces, each serving as a refractive surface. The surface numbers in Table 1 are assigned according to the surfaces of each lens. Surface number S1 represents the front surface (object side) of the first lens L1, surface number S2 represents the rear surface (image side) of the first lens L1, and so on; further details are omitted here. The radius of curvature represents the degree of curvature of the lens surface. A positive radius of curvature value indicates that the center of curvature is on the side of the surface closer to the image plane IMA; a negative radius of curvature value indicates that the center of curvature is on the side of the surface farther from the image plane IMA; a negative value indicates that the surface is bent towards the object plane. "Infinite" in the radius of curvature column indicates that the surface is planar with an infinite radius of curvature, expressed in mm. The value in the thickness column represents the axial distance between the current surface and the next surface, expressed in mm. The refractive index column represents the refractive index of the medium between the current and next surfaces, representing the material's ability to deflect light between them. The blank space in the refractive index column represents the refractive index of air, which is 1. The Abbe number represents the dispersion characteristics of light by the material between the current surface and the next surface; a blank space indicates the current location is air. Half-diameter refers to the radius of the lens's light-transmitting area (i.e., half the effective light-transmitting diameter), measured in mm.

[0080] For example, since the primary design objective is the teleconverter lens, not the imaging lens (i.e., the connecting lens), the imaging lens is represented as the ideal lens at the location of the aperture stop STO. As shown in Table 1, the 15mm corresponding to the row containing STO represents the ideal focal length of the imaging lens at the aperture stop STO as 15mm. In actual products, the imaging lens can be placed at the aperture stop STO. The imaging lens may include one or more lenses and occupy a certain amount of physical space.
