It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

[0030] It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0031] The optical lens provided by the embodiment of the present application is composed of two lenses with optical power and two catadioptric elements, and sequentially includes a first lens, a second lens, a first catadioptric element and a second catadioptric element from the object side to the imaging surface along the light transmission direction.

[0032] The first lens can have positive optical power, the object side surface thereof is a convex surface, and the image side surface thereof can be a concave surface or a convex surface; the second lens can have negative optical power, the object side surface thereof can be a concave surface or a convex surface, and the image side surface thereof is a concave surface.

[0033] The first catadioptric element includes a first light incident surface, a first reflection surface, a second reflection surface, a third reflection surface, a fourth reflection surface and a first light exit surface, and all are planes, wherein the first light incident surface and the second reflection surface are substantially the same plane; the third reflection surface and the first light exit surface are substantially the same plane.

[0034] The second catadioptric element includes a second light incident surface, a fifth reflection surface, a sixth reflection surface, a seventh reflection surface, an eighth reflection surface and a second light exit surface, and all are planes, wherein the second light incident surface and the sixth reflection surface are substantially the same plane; the seventh reflection surface and the second light exit surface are substantially the same plane. The first catadioptric element and the second catadioptric element can be prisms with a parallelogram cross section.

[0035] The first catadioptric element has a first optical axis, a second optical axis, a third optical axis, a fourth optical axis and a fifth optical axis. The light path passes through the first lens and the second lens along the first optical axis into the first catadioptric element, passes through the first light incident surface to the first reflection surface, is reflected to the second reflection surface, is totally reflected to the third reflection surface, is totally reflected to the fourth reflection surface, and is reflected to the first light exit surface to exit into the second catadioptric element; the first reflection surface turns the light path from the first optical axis to the second optical axis, the second reflection surface turns the light path from the second optical axis to the third optical axis, the third reflection surface turns the third optical axis to the fourth optical axis, and the fourth reflection surface turns the fourth optical axis to the fifth optical axis.

[0036] The second catadioptric element has a sixth optical axis, a seventh optical axis, an eighth optical axis, a ninth optical axis and a tenth optical axis; the light path passes through the second light incident surface to the fifth reflecting surface along the sixth optical axis, is reflected to the sixth reflecting surface, is totally reflected to the seventh reflecting surface, is totally reflected to the eighth reflecting surface, and is emitted to the imaging surface from the second light exit surface; the fifth reflecting surface bends the light path from the sixth optical axis to the seventh optical axis, the sixth reflecting surface bends the light path from the seventh optical axis to the eighth optical axis, the seventh reflecting surface bends the eighth optical axis to the ninth optical axis, and the eighth reflecting surface bends the ninth optical axis to the tenth optical axis; the tenth optical axis is perpendicular to the imaging surface; the first optical axis and the tenth optical axis are in the same direction; and the fifth optical axis and the sixth optical axis are in the same direction.

[0037] The light path is bent four times in the first catadioptric element and the second catadioptric element, the first optical axis and the tenth optical axis are in the same direction and are coaxial, the first two lenses and the chip are coaxial, which helps to improve the manufacturing yield. The fifth optical axis and the sixth optical axis are in the same direction and are coaxial. The first reflecting surface, the fourth reflecting surface, the fifth reflecting surface and the eighth reflecting surface have a reflecting coating (film) or are mirror surfaces. By arranging the catadioptric elements, the light path can be bent multiple times inside the catadioptric elements, greatly increasing the propagation distance of the light, making the spatial configuration more flexible, and being conducive to compressing the volume of the folded optical system and achieving super-long focal imaging effect.

[0038] In some embodiments, the optical lens can further include a diaphragm, which can be located between the object side and the first lens. It can be understood that the diaphragm is used to limit the amount of light to change the brightness of the imaging.

[0039] In some embodiments, the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens corresponds to a real image height IH, and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfies: 9 < (43.27 / IH x f) / 24 < 19. The above condition is an optical magnification calculation formula, and the optical lens can achieve a high magnification super-long focal shooting effect of 9X~19X, which not only has a super-long focal length, but also can well meet the demand of periscopic long focal shooting. More specifically, 9.71 < (43.27 / IH x f) / 24 < 17.21.

[0040] In some embodiments, the long side D1 of the first catadioptric element, the height H1 of the first catadioptric element, and the angle θ1 between the first light-incident surface and the first reflecting surface satisfy -1.6 < D1 - 2 x H1 / tan(θ1) < 2.2; the long side D2 of the second catadioptric element, the height H2 of the second catadioptric element, and the angle θ2 between the second light-incident surface and the fifth reflecting surface satisfy -1.6 < D2 - 2 x H2 / tan(θ2) < 2.2. θ1 and θ2 can be understood as the angles between the long side and the short side of the first catadioptric element and the second catadioptric element. Satisfying the above conditions and reasonably setting the shape of the first catadioptric element and the second catadioptric element can effectively limit the size of the first catadioptric element and the second catadioptric element, so that the first catadioptric element and the second catadioptric element have a smaller height and a larger long side, thereby reducing the volume of the optical lens while increasing the optical path in the catadioptric element. More specifically, -1.55 < D1 - 2 x H1 / tan(θ1) < 2.02; -1.55 < D2 - 2 x H2 / tan(θ2) < 2.02.

[0041] In some embodiments, the maximum angle of incidence CRA at the maximum image height of the optical lens satisfies 3° < CRA < 7°; the long side D1 of the first catadioptric element, the height H1 of the first catadioptric element, and the angle θ1 between the first light-incident surface and the first reflecting surface respectively satisfy 10 mm < D1 < 16 mm; 2.8 mm < H1 < 3.8 mm; 23° < θ1 < 33°; the long side D2 of the second catadioptric element, the height H2 of the second catadioptric element, and the angle θ2 between the second light-incident surface and the fifth reflecting surface respectively satisfy 10 mm < D2 < 16 mm; 2.8 mm < H2 < 3.8 mm; 23° < θ2 < 33°. Satisfying the above conditions and reasonably limiting the size of the first catadioptric element and the second catadioptric element is conducive to the miniaturization of the optical lens. More specifically, 3.6° < CRA < 6.46°; 10.8 mm < D1 < 15.1 mm; 2.89 mm < H1 < 3.76 mm; 24° < θ1 < 31°; 10.8 mm < D2 < 15.1 mm; 2.89 mm < H2 < 3.76 mm; 24° < θ2 < 31°.

[0042] In some embodiments, the angle θ1 between the first light-incident surface and the first reflecting surface is equal to the angle θ2 between the second light-incident surface and the fifth reflecting surface; the height H1 of the first catadioptric element is equal to the height H2 of the second catadioptric element.

Satisfying the above conditions, the thicknesses of the first lens, the second lens and the catadioptric element can be effectively compressed while satisfying the long focal design and the large image surface of the optical lens, satisfying the product demand of thin and light. More specifically, 0.29 < L / f < 0.35; 1.79 < L / IH < 2.97.

[0044] In some embodiments, the real image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.08 < IH / f < 0.2.

[0045] In some embodiments, the distance L from the object side surface of the first lens to the imaging surface in the first optical axis direction and the total optical length TTL of the optical lens satisfy: 0.22 < L / TTL < 0.3. It can be understood that TTL is the sum of the geometric distances from the object side surface of the first lens to the imaging surface in all optical axes. Satisfying the above conditions, the thicknesses of the first lens, the second lens and the catadioptric element can be effectively compressed, satisfying the product demand of thin and light. More specifically, 0.24 < L / TTL < 0.29.

Satisfying the above range, it is beneficial to balance the relationship among the length, the image height and the field angle of the optical lens. More specifically, 124.67 < 180°xL / (IH / 2) / (FOV / 2) < 355.4.

Satisfying the above range, it is beneficial to have a small front end while satisfying the optical lens with a large field angle and a large image surface, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the optical lens. More specifically, 15.79 < d1 / (IH / 2) / tan(FOV / 2) < 41.16.

[0048] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.08 < f1 / f < 0.45; the radius of curvature R1 of the object side surface of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.14 < R1 / f < 0.28. Satisfying the above conditions, as the first positive lens and the convex object side surface, the first lens can converge incident light and construct a long-focus optical path, while providing a basis for subsequent negative lens optical path compression.

[0049] In some embodiments, the focal length f2 of the second lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -0.65 < f2 / f < -0.05; the radius of curvature R4 of the image side surface of the second lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.03 < R4 / f < 0.1. Satisfying the above range, the second lens adopts a negative lens, which can diverge light, lengthen the equivalent focal length but shorten the physical optical path length, while compensating for the aberration of the front group positive lens. More specifically, -0.6 < f2 / f < -0.06; 0.04 < R4 / f < 0.09.

[0050] In some embodiments, the center thickness CT1 of the first lens, the center thickness CT2 of the second lens, and the distance L in the first optical axis direction from the object side surface of the first lens to the imaging surface satisfy: 0.14 < (CT1+CT2) / L < 0.2; the center thickness CT1 of the first lens, the spacing CT12 of the first lens and the second lens in the first optical axis direction, the center thickness CT2 of the second lens, and the total optical length TTL of the optical lens satisfy: 0.03 < (CT1+CT12+CT2) / TTL < 0.07. Satisfying the above conditions, the size proportion of the first lens and the second lens is reasonably set to meet the product demand of miniaturization of the optical lens. More specifically, 0.15 < (CT1+CT2) / L < 0.19; 0.03 < (CT1+CT12+CT2) / TTL < 0.07.

[0051] In some embodiments, the maximum field of view FOV of the optical lens and the aperture value Fno of the optical lens satisfy: 0.6° < FOV / Fno < 1.5°. Satisfying the above range, the relationship between the maximum field of view and the aperture value is balanced, and the lens is more compact, suitable for periscopic structure (such as mobile phone long-focus lens), and still maintains small volume after optical path folding. More specifically, 0.66° < FOV / Fno < 1.42°.

[0052] In some embodiments, the real image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view of the optical lens and the entrance pupil diameter EPD of the optical lens satisfy: 0.9 < IH / EPD < 1.5.

[0053] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens, the maximum field of view FOV of the optical lens, and the real image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view FOV of the optical lens satisfy: 0.99 < (IH / 2) / (f*tan(FOV / 2)) < 1.02. Satisfying the above range, the lens has a smaller distortion value and can provide a high-definition imaging effect.

[0054] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the focal length f2 of the second lens satisfy: -1.5 < f1 / f2 < -0.7. Satisfying the above range, a positive-negative focal power combination is formed, which can improve the temperature drift stability of the lens, reduce sensitivity, help to reduce the influence of environmental temperature on the lens group, and also meet the compactness requirement of the lens. More specifically, -1.35 < f1 / f2 < -0.73.

[0055] In some embodiments, the real image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 200 < 43.27 / IHxf < 450. The above condition is an equivalent focal length calculation formula, and satisfying the above condition indicates that the optical lens has a longer equivalent focal length. More specifically, 233.29 < 43.27 / IHxf < 412.79.

[0056] In some embodiments, the object side half light entrance diameter d1 of the first lens and the real image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view of the optical lens satisfy: 0.7 < d1 / (IH / 2) < 1.1. Satisfying the above condition balances the relationship between the front end diameter and the image height of the optical lens. More specifically, 0.72 < d1 / (IH / 2) < 1.09.

[0057] In some embodiments, the optical lens satisfies the condition formula: 27mm < f < 44mm, 3.5mm < EPD < 4.7mm, 8.5mm < L < 13mm, 30mm < TTL < 52mm, 7 < Fno < 9.5, 4mm < IH < 6.5mm, 5° < FOV < 11°; wherein f represents an effective focal length of the optical lens, EPD represents an entrance pupil diameter of the optical lens, L represents a distance from an object side of the first lens to an imaging surface in a first optical axis direction; TTL represents an optical total length of the optical lens, Fno represents an aperture value of the optical lens, IH represents a real image height corresponding to a maximum field of view angle of the optical lens, and FOV represents a maximum field of view angle of the optical lens. By satisfying the above condition, the optical lens provided by the embodiments of the present application at least has the characteristics of super-telephoto, short total length, miniaturization and the like. More specifically, 29.76mm < f < 40.27mm, 3.69mm < EPD < 4.51mm, 8.98mm < L < 12.51mm, 31.88mm < TTL < 50.01mm, 7.5 < Fno < 8.96, 4.21mm < IH < 6.11mm, 5.99° < FOV < 10.61°.

[0058] In some embodiments, the material of the lenses and catadioptric elements in the optical lens provided by the present application can be glass or plastic. When the material of the lenses and catadioptric elements is plastic, the production cost can be effectively reduced. When the material of the lenses and catadioptric elements is glass, the geometric chromatic aberration of the optical system can be effectively corrected by the low dispersion characteristic of the glass itself. The first catadioptric element and the second catadioptric element in the optical lens provided by the present application can adopt glass material; the first lens and the second lens can adopt plastic material, which not only makes the lens have excellent imaging performance, but also makes the structure of the lens more compact, and can better realize the balance between miniaturization and high image quality of the lens.

[0059] In some embodiments, the first lens and the second lens can adopt spherical lenses or aspherical lenses. Compared with the spherical structure, the aspherical structure can effectively reduce the aberration of the optical system, thereby reducing the number of lenses and the size of the lenses, and better realizing the miniaturization of the lens. More specifically, the first lens and the second lens of the present application can both adopt aspherical lenses, which can effectively reduce the aberration of the optical lens, thereby reducing the number of lenses and the size of the lenses, and better realizing the miniaturization of the lens.

[0060] In various embodiments of the present application, when the lenses adopt aspherical lenses, the shape of each aspherical surface of the optical lens satisfies the following equation: ; Wherein, z is the distance of the curved surface and the curved surface vertex in the direction of the optical axis, h is the distance of the optical axis to the curved surface, c is the curvature of the curved surface vertex, K is the quadratic curved surface coefficient, B, C, D, E, F are the fourth order, sixth order, eighth order, tenth order, and twelfth order curved surface coefficients respectively.

[0061] The application will be further described in the following embodiments. In each embodiment, the thickness, the radius of curvature, and the material selection of each lens in the optical lens are different, and the specific differences can be referred to the parameter table of each embodiment. The following embodiments are merely the preferred embodiments of the application, but the embodiments of the application are not limited to the following embodiments only, and any change, substitution, combination, or simplification made without departing from the innovative points of the application should be regarded as equivalent replacement, and should be included in the protection scope of the application.
