[0002] In recent years, optical systems used in image pickup apparatuses are required to be compact and to perform high-speed focusing.

[0003] Therefore, as a compact configuration for reducing the weight of the lens groups that move during focusing while suppressing the fluctuation of aberrations that occur during focusing, a system in which a plurality of lens groups move during focusing is known.

[0011] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of an optical system and an image pickup apparatus having the same according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0012] 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 are lens cross-sectional views when focusing at infinity in the optical system L0 of Examples 1 to 7. The optical system L0 of each Example is an optical system used in imaging devices such as digital video cameras, digital still cameras, broadcast cameras, silver halide film cameras, surveillance cameras, and vehicle-mounted cameras.

[0013] In each lens cross-sectional view, the left side is the object side and the right side is the image side. The optical system L0 of each embodiment may be used as a projection lens for a projector, etc. In this case, the left side is the screen side and the right side is the projected image side.

[0014] The optical system L0 of each embodiment has a first lens group L1, a second lens group L2 with negative refractive power, a third lens group L3, and a fourth lens group L4 with positive refractive power, which are arranged in this order from the object side to the image side, and the distance between adjacent lens groups changes during focusing. Each lens group may be composed of one lens or multiple lenses. The lens group may also include an aperture stop.

[0015] The solid arrows pointing downward in each lens cross-sectional view represent the movement locus of each lens group during focusing from infinity to a close distance.

[0016] In each lens cross-sectional view, SP is an aperture stop. IP is an image plane, and when the optical system L0 of each embodiment is used in a digital still camera or digital video camera, the imaging surface of a solid-state image sensor (photoelectric conversion element) such as a CCD sensor or CMOS sensor is disposed thereon. When the optical system L0 of each embodiment is used as a photographic optical system for a silver halide film camera, a photosensitive surface equivalent to the film surface is disposed on the image plane IP.

[0017] GB is an optical block equivalent to an optical filter, a face plate, a crystal low-pass filter, an infrared cut filter, etc.

[0018] 2(A), 4(A), 6(A), 8(A), 10(A), 12(A), and 14(A) are aberration diagrams when focusing at infinity in the optical systems of Examples 1 to 7, respectively.

[0019] 2(B), 4(B), 6(B), 8(B), 10(B), 12(B), and 14(B) are aberration diagrams when focusing at close range in the optical systems of Examples 1 to 7, respectively.

[0020] In the spherical aberration diagram, Fno is the F-number, the solid line shows the amount of spherical aberration for the d-line (wavelength 587.6 nm) and the dashed line shows the amount of spherical aberration for the g-line (wavelength 435.8 nm). In the astigmatism diagram, the solid line shows the amount of aberration on the sagittal image plane, and the dashed line shows the amount of aberration on the meridional image plane. The distortion aberration diagram shows the amount of distortion aberration for the d-line. The chromatic aberration diagram shows the amount of lateral chromatic aberration for the g-line. ω is the half angle of view (°).

[0021] 15 is a diagram showing the arrangement of flare cut diaphragms for blocking light rays in the optical system L0 of Example 1. FC1 denotes a flare cut diaphragm arranged in the first lens unit L1, and FC4 denotes a flare cut diaphragm arranged in the fourth lens unit L4.

[0022] Next, the characteristic configuration of the optical system of each embodiment will be described.

[0023] The optical system L0 in each embodiment has, in order from the object side to the image side, a first lens group L1, a second lens group L2 with negative refractive power, a third lens group L3, and a fourth lens group L4 with positive refractive power, and the spacing between adjacent lens groups changes during focusing. The movement of the multiple lens groups during focusing suppresses fluctuations in various aberrations that occur during focusing.

[0024] Also, when focusing from infinity to a close distance, the second lens group L2 moves toward the image side, and the fourth lens group L4 moves toward the object side. The second lens L2 and the fourth lens group L4, which have refractive powers with different signs, move so that the distance on the optical axis between the second lens L2 and the fourth lens group L4 becomes smaller. As a result, when focusing from infinity to a close distance, the fluctuation in the height of off-axis rays incident on each lens group is suppressed, and the fluctuation in the angle of view that occurs when focusing from infinity to a close distance is suppressed.

[0025] In addition, the optical system L0 in each embodiment is configured, as one aspect, so as to satisfy the following conditional expression. -10.0 <f2 / f<-3.6···(1)

[0026] Here, f2 is the focal length of the second lens unit L2, and f is the focal length of the entire system.

[0027] Condition (1) is intended to suppress aberrations and fluctuations in the angle of view that occur during focusing, and to achieve compactness.

[0028] If the upper limit of conditional expression (1) is exceeded, the refractive power of the second lens group L2 becomes too strong. As a result, the change in the angle of view that occurs during focusing becomes too large, which is undesirable. If the lower limit of conditional expression (1) is exceeded, the refractive power of the second lens group L2 becomes too weak. As a result, the amount of movement of the second lens group L2 becomes too large in order to focus from infinity to the desired object distance. As a result, the overall lens length becomes long, which is undesirable.

[0029] The total lens length here is the sum of the distance on the optical axis from the surface of the optical system L0 closest to the object to the surface of the optical system L0 closest to the image, and the back focus, which is the air-equivalent distance on the optical axis between the surface of the optical system L0 closest to the image and the image plane.

[0030] It is preferable that at least one of the upper limit and the lower limit of the numerical range of conditional expression (1) is set to the numerical value of the following conditional expression (1a). -9.5 <f2 / f<-3.7···(1a)

[0031] It is even more preferable that at least one of the upper limit and the lower limit of any numerical range of conditional formula (1) is set to the range of the following conditional formula (1b). -9.0 <f2 / f<-3.8···(1b)

[0032] In another aspect, the optical system L0 in each embodiment is configured so that the first lens group L1 has a negative meniscus lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a positive lens. By having the first lens group L1 have a negative meniscus lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a positive lens, it is possible to suppress fluctuations in chromatic aberration of magnification and distortion that occur in the first lens group L1 when focusing from infinity to a close distance.

[0033] Next, a preferred configuration of the optical system L0 in each embodiment will be described.

[0034] During image blur correction, it is preferable that all or some of the lens elements of the third lens group L3 move so as to include a component in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. In order to obtain a desired amount of peripheral light during image blur correction, the diameter of the lens that moves during image blur correction is increased. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the optical system L0 from becoming large in the radial direction by moving the lens elements of the third lens group L3, which have a relatively small radial size.

[0035] Here, a lens element refers to one lens or multiple lenses.

[0036] It is preferable that the optical system L0 in each embodiment satisfies one or more of the following conditional expressions. -3.5 <M2 / M4<-0.5···(2) -7.00 <f2 / f4<-2.50···(3) 0.05<|f1 / f2|<0.50 (4) 2.0<|fR / f|<500.0 (5) 0.30 <BF / f<1.50···(6) 0.45 <Da / TL<0.70···(7) 0.15 <D4 / Da<0.35···(8) 0.70<(1-β4 2 ) × βR 2 <3.00···(9) 70.0<ν4p<96.0 (10)

[0037] Here, M2 and M4 are the amounts of movement of the second lens unit L2 and the fourth lens unit L4, respectively, when focusing from infinity to an object distance where the lateral magnification of the entire system is −0.1, where the sign of the amount of movement toward the image side is positive.

[0038] f4 is the focal length of the fourth lens group L4, and f1 is the focal length of the first lens group L1. fR is the focal length of the lens group arranged closest to the image side in the optical system L0. BF is the back focus when focusing to infinity.

[0039] The optical system L0 has an aperture stop SP. Da is the distance on the optical axis from the aperture stop SP to the image plane when focusing at infinity. TL is the total lens length of the optical system L0. D4 is the distance on the optical axis from the aperture stop SP to the surface of the fourth lens group L4 closest to the object.

[0040] β4 is the lateral magnification of the fourth lens unit L4 when focusing at infinity, and βR is the combined lateral magnification of all lens units arranged on the image side of the fourth lens unit L4 when focusing at infinity.

[0041] ν4p is the Abbe number of at least one positive lens disposed in the fourth lens unit L4.

[0042] Next, the technical meanings of the above-mentioned conditional expressions (2) to (10) will be explained.

[0043] If the upper limit of conditional expression (2) is exceeded and the amount of movement of the fourth lens group L4 becomes too large, the fluctuation in the height of off-axis light rays incident on each lens group becomes large when focusing from infinity to a close distance. As a result, the fluctuation in the angle of view that occurs when focusing from infinity to a close distance becomes large, which is not preferable. If the lower limit of conditional expression (2) is exceeded, the amount of movement of the second lens group L2 becomes too large and the fluctuation in the height of off-axis light rays incident on each lens group becomes large when focusing from infinity to a close distance. As a result, the fluctuation in the angle of view that occurs when focusing from infinity to a close distance becomes large, which is not preferable.

[0044] If the upper limit of conditional expression (3) is exceeded, the refractive power of the second lens group L2 becomes too strong. As a result, the fluctuation in the angle of view that occurs during focusing becomes too large, which is undesirable. If the lower limit of conditional expression (3) is exceeded, the refractive power of the fourth lens group L4 becomes too strong. As a result, the fluctuation in the angle of view and the curvature of field that occurs during focusing becomes too large, which is undesirable.

[0045] If the upper limit of conditional expression (4) is exceeded, the refractive power of the first lens group L1 becomes too weak. As a result, the overall lens length becomes long and the radial size of the first lens group L1 becomes large, which is undesirable. If the lower limit of conditional expression (4) is exceeded, the refractive power of the first lens group L1 becomes too strong. As a result, it becomes difficult to correct spherical aberration, chromatic aberration of magnification, etc.

[0046] If the upper limit of conditional expression (5) is exceeded, the refractive power of the lens group arranged closest to the image side in optical system L0 becomes too weak. As a result, it becomes difficult to correct various aberrations occurring in each lens group arranged in optical system L0. If the lower limit of conditional expression (5) is exceeded, the refractive power of the lens group arranged closest to the image side becomes too strong. As a result, it becomes difficult to correct field curvature, chromatic aberration of magnification, and the like occurring in the lens group arranged closest to the image side.

[0047] If the back focus becomes long by exceeding the upper limit of conditional expression (6), the overall lens length becomes too long.If the back focus becomes short by falling below the lower limit of conditional expression (6), when an image sensor is disposed, ghost light generated by reflection between the image sensor and the image-side surface of the lens disposed closest to the image side is likely to be imaged by the image sensor, which is undesirable.

[0048] If the upper limit of condition (7) is exceeded and the aperture stop SP is disposed on the object side in the optical system L0, the radial size of the lens group disposed closest to the image side increases, which is not preferable. If the lower limit of condition (7) is exceeded and the aperture stop SP is disposed on the image side in the optical system L0, the radial size of the first lens group L1 increases, which is not preferable.

[0049] If the upper limit of conditional expression (8) is exceeded and the distance on the optical axis from the aperture stop SP to the surface of the fourth lens group L4 closest to the object becomes long, the fourth lens group L4 will be disposed at a position where the height from the optical axis of off-axis rays is high, which is undesirable because it increases the fluctuation in the angle of view that occurs during focusing.

[0050] If the lower limit of conditional expression (8) is exceeded and the distance on the optical axis from the aperture stop SP to the surface of the fourth lens group L4 closest to the object becomes short, the fourth lens group L4 will be disposed at a position where the height of the axial light beam from the optical axis is high, which undesirably increases the fluctuation of spherical aberration that occurs during focusing.

[0051] Conditional expression (9) relates to the position sensitivity of the fourth lens group L4. In other words, it expresses the amount of change in the image plane position when the fourth lens group L4 is moved by a unit amount in the optical axis direction. If the upper limit of conditional expression (9) is exceeded and the position sensitivity of the fourth lens group L4 becomes large, the refractive power of the fourth lens group L4 becomes too strong. As a result, the fluctuations in various aberrations that occur during focusing become too large, which is undesirable.

[0052] If the lower limit of conditional expression (9) is not reached and the position sensitivity of the fourth lens group L4 becomes small, the amount of movement of the second lens group L2 becomes too large in order to focus from infinity to a desired object distance, resulting in a long overall lens length.

[0053] If the upper limit of conditional expression (10) is exceeded, the refractive index of at least one positive lens arranged in the fourth lens group L4 becomes too low, making it difficult to correct field curvature, etc. If the lower limit of conditional expression (10) is exceeded, the Abbe number of at least one positive lens arranged in the fourth lens group L4 becomes too small, making it difficult to correct lateral chromatic aberration.

[0054] It is more preferable to set at least one of the upper and lower limits of the conditional expressions (2) to (10) within the following numerical ranges. -3.3 <M2 / M4<-0.6···(2a) -6.90 <f2 / f4<-2.55···(3a) 0.10<|f1 / f2|<0.47 (4a) 2.1<|fR / f|<450.0 (5a) 0.35 <BF / f<1.30···(6a) 0.50 <Da / TL<0.67···(7a) 0.17 <D4 / Da<0.33···(8a) 0.75<(1-β4 2 ) × βR 2 <2.80···(9a) 72.0<ν4p<95.5 (10a)

[0055] Moreover, it is more preferable to set at least one of the upper and lower limits of the conditional expressions (2) to (10) to the following numerical ranges. -3.1 <M2 / M4<-0.7···(2b) -6.80 <f2 / f4<-2.60···(3b) 0.15<|f1 / f2|<0.45 (4b) 2.2<|fR / f|<400.0 (5b) 0.40 <BF / f<1.20···(6b) 0.55 <Da / TL<0.65···(7b) 0.20 <D4 / Da<0.31···(8b) 0.78<(1-β4 2 ) × βR 2 <2.50···(9b) 75.0<ν4p<95.0 (10b)

[0056] Next, the configuration of the optical system L0 in each embodiment will be described in detail. From embodiment 2 onwards, differences from embodiment 1 will be mainly described.

[0057] [Example 1] The optical system L0 of the first embodiment is composed of a positive, negative, positive, positive, negative lens group arranged in that order from the object side to the image side, and the interval between adjacent lens groups changes during focusing. By appropriately arranging the lens groups having positive refractive power and the lens groups having negative refractive power, the fluctuation of various aberrations that occur during focusing is suppressed.

[0058] In addition, when focusing from infinity to a close distance, the second lens group L2 moves toward the image side and the fourth lens group L4 moves toward the object side, thereby suppressing fluctuations in the height of off-axis rays incident on each lens group, thereby suppressing fluctuations in the angle of view that occur when focusing from infinity to a close distance.

[0059] In addition, the second lens unit L2 is composed of a negative meniscus lens with a convex surface facing the object side, which achieves both weight reduction and suppression of fluctuations in spherical aberration that occur during focusing.

[0060] [Example 2] The fourth lens unit L4 in the second embodiment has a negative meniscus lens with a convex surface facing the image side, which makes it easier to suppress fluctuations in the curvature of field that occur during focusing.

[0061] [Example 3] The optical system L0 of the third embodiment has a negative meniscus lens with a convex surface facing the image side, which is arranged closest to the image side, making it easy to correct the curvature of field.

[0062] [Example 4] The optical system L0 of the fourth embodiment is composed of negative, negative, positive, positive, negative lens groups arranged in this order from the object side to the image side, and the interval between adjacent lens groups changes during focusing.

[0063] The first lens unit L1 in the fourth embodiment has a positive meniscus lens with a convex surface facing the object side, which makes it easier to correct spherical aberration.

[0064] [Example 5] The optical system L0 of the fifth embodiment is composed of positive, negative, positive, positive, negative, negative lens groups arranged in this order from the object side to the image side, and the interval between adjacent lens groups changes during focusing.

[0065] During focusing from infinity to a close distance, the second lens group L2 moves toward the image side, the fourth lens group L4 moves toward the object side, and the fifth lens group L5 moves along a convex path toward the object side. By moving these three lens groups during focusing from infinity to a close distance, it becomes easier to suppress fluctuations in various aberrations.

[0066] Furthermore, by making the refractive powers of the fifth lens group L5 and the sixth lens group L6 negative, the principal point of the optical system L0 is located on the object side, making it easier to reduce the overall lens length.

[0067] [Example 6] The optical system L0 of the sixth embodiment is composed of positive, negative, positive, positive, negative, positive lens groups arranged in this order from the object side to the image side, and the spacing between adjacent lens groups changes during focusing.

[0068] During focusing from infinity to a close distance, the second lens group L2 moves toward the image side, the fourth lens group L4 moves toward the object side, and the fifth lens group L5 moves along a convex locus toward the object side. By moving the three lens groups during focusing from infinity to a close distance, it becomes easier to suppress fluctuations in primary aberrations.

[0069] In addition, the fifth lens group L5 and the sixth lens group L6 have refractive powers with different signs, which makes it easier to cancel out lateral chromatic aberration and field curvature occurring in the fifth lens group L5 and the sixth lens group L6.

[0070] [Example 7] The optical system L0 of the seventh embodiment is composed of positive, negative, positive, positive, positive lens groups arranged in this order from the object side to the image side, and the interval between adjacent lens groups changes during focusing.

[0071] The fifth lens group L5 has a positive refractive power, which reduces the angle of incidence of light rays with respect to the normal direction of the image plane, making it easier to suppress color shift (color shading) that occurs when an image sensor is disposed.

[0072] In addition, the positive lens and the negative lens constituting the cemented lens arranged in the optical system L0 of each embodiment are preferably bonded with an adhesive having an axial thickness of 0.005 mm or more and 0.050 mm or less. If it is less than 0.005 mm, the lenses are likely to peel off, and if it is more than 0.030 mm, the axial distance from the surface of the cemented lens closest to the object to the surface closest to the image becomes long, resulting in a long overall lens length. More preferably, it is preferable to satisfy 0.008 mm or more and 0.020 mm or less.

[0073] At least one lens arranged in the optical system L0 of each embodiment is provided with an anti-reflection film for preventing reflection, and the anti-reflection film is preferably composed of a plurality of layers. Here, when the refractive index of the layer closest to the air interface with respect to the d-line is Nd, it is preferable that the anti-reflection film PC has Nd of 1.32 or less. By making Nd 1.32 or less, the difference in refractive index with air can be reduced, so that the reflectance of light can be further reduced, and ghosts can be reduced.

[0074] Specific examples of the configuration of the antireflection film PC include, but are not limited to, multilayer films formed using a wet method, as described in JP-A-2012-230211, JP-A-2014-95877, etc. More preferably, Nd is set to 1.30 or less to further reduce ghosts.

[0075] Here, among the negative lenses arranged in optical system L0 with their concave surfaces facing the image side, it is preferable to provide an anti-reflection coating PC on the image side surface of lens A arranged closest to the object, or lens B arranged second closest to the object. The image side surfaces of lenses A and B tend to have large open angles, and light reflected within a large open angle range tends to be reflected at a large angle with respect to the normal direction of the lens surface, resulting in a high reflectance.

[0076] In addition, light reflected by a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side tends to be focused on the image plane, making ghosting more noticeable. Therefore, ghosting can be reduced by applying an anti-reflection coating PC to the image-side surface of lens A or lens B.

[0077] In each embodiment, it is preferable to provide a flare cut diaphragm that blocks light rays. Fig. 15 is a diagram showing the arrangement of a flare cut diaphragm in the optical system L0 of the embodiment 1. A preferable configuration for providing a flare cut diaphragm will be described with reference to Fig. 15.

[0078] It is preferable to dispose at least one flare cut aperture FC1 in the first lens group L1, which can appropriately block the lower line of off-axis marginal rays entering the first lens group L1 from below on the object side in FIG. 15, thereby reducing coma aberration.

[0079] It is preferable to dispose at least one flare cut aperture FC4 in the fourth lens group L4, which can appropriately block the upper ray of the off-axis marginal ray entering the first lens group L1 from below on the object side in FIG. 15, thereby reducing coma aberration.

[0080] The preferable arrangement of the flare cut diaphragm described above is not limited to that in the first embodiment, and coma aberration can be reduced in the second to seventh embodiments by using a similar arrangement.

[0081] Numerical examples 1 to 7 corresponding to the first to seventh embodiments, respectively, are shown below.

[0082] In the surface data of each numerical example, r represents the radius of curvature of each optical surface, and d (mm) represents the axial spacing (distance on the optical axis) between the mth surface and the (m+1)th surface. Here, m is the surface number counted from the light incident side. In addition, nd represents the refractive index of each optical member with respect to the d-line, and νd represents the Abbe number of the optical member. The Abbe number νd of a certain material is given by Nd, NF, and NC, respectively, when the refractive indices at the Fraunhofer lines d-line (wavelength 587.6 nm), F-line (wavelength 486.1 nm), C-line (wavelength 656.3 nm), and g-line (wavelength 435.8 nm) are: νd=(Nd-1) / (NF-NC) It is expressed as:

[0083] BF is the back focus.

[0084] If the optical surface is aspheric, a * symbol is added to the right of the surface number. The aspheric shape is expressed as follows, where X is the displacement from the apex of the surface in the optical axis direction, h is the height from the optical axis in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, R is the paraxial radius of curvature, k is the conic constant, and A4, A6, A8, A10, and A12 are the aspheric coefficients of each order: x=(h 2 / R) / [1+{1-(1+k)(h / R) 2} 1 / 2 ]+A4×h 4 +A6×h 6 +A8×h 8 +A10×h 10 +A12×h 12 In addition, "e±XX" in each aspheric coefficient is "×10± XX " It means.

[0085] The lens arrangement length represents the distance on the optical axis from the surface closest to the object side to the surface closest to the image side in each lens group.

[0086] In addition, the various data shows the distance on the optical axis between adjacent lens groups when the lateral magnification of the entire system is 0.0x (INF), -0.1x, close range, etc. INF stands for infinity.
