[0010] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of a lens apparatus and an image pickup apparatus having the same according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0011] [Example 1] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a main part of a lens device according to a first embodiment.

[0012] As shown in Fig. 1, the lens device 100 of this embodiment has two optical systems 101 and 102. The optical systems 101 and 102 are held by a housing (not shown). In this embodiment, the optical systems 101 and 102 are identical except for the reflection direction of the reflecting member, which will be described later, and therefore the following description will focus on the optical system 101 as a representative. Hereinafter, when it is said in this specification that the optical systems 101 and 102 are the same, it means that the lens configuration and the like are the same except for the reflection direction of the reflecting member.

[0013] The optical system 101 has two reflecting members 103 and 105. The first reflecting member 103 has a reflecting surface R1 that bends the optical path. The second reflecting member 105 has a reflecting surface R2 that bends the optical path. An aperture stop SP is provided between the first reflecting member 103 and the second reflecting member 105.

[0014] In Fig. 1, IP is an image plane (paraxial imaging position). An image sensor such as a CCD sensor or a CMOS sensor, or a film is placed on the image plane IP.

[0015] On an image plane IP, an image (optical image) is formed by the optical systems 101 and 102. That is, in the lens apparatus 100 of this embodiment, two optical images by the two optical systems are formed on one image sensor.

[0016] 2 shows two image circles (areas where an optical image is formed; effective image circles) IC1 and IC2 formed on an image plane IP. IC1 is an image circle formed by an optical system 101, and IC2 is an image circle formed by an optical system 102. In this way, in this embodiment, two images with parallax can be acquired with one image sensor.

[0017] Next, the optical system 101 of this embodiment will be specifically described.

[0018] 3 is a cross-sectional view of the optical system 101 of this embodiment, with the optical path bent by the reflecting members 103 and 105 shown in an expanded form.

[0019] The optical system 101 includes a front lens group N, a middle lens group M, and a rear lens group P, in that order from the object side to the image side.

[0020] The front lens group N has negative refractive power. The intermediate group M is configured to include a first reflecting member 103 arranged adjacent to the front lens group N, and a second reflecting member 105 arranged adjacent to the rear lens group P. In this embodiment, the first reflecting member 103 and the second reflecting member 105 are both prisms, but they may be simple mirrors. When a prism is used as the reflecting member, the light entrance surface and exit surface may be flat or curved.

[0021] The symbols R1 and R2 shown in FIG. 3 indicate the positions of the reflecting surface R1 and the reflecting surface R2.

[0022] FIG. 4 shows aberration diagrams of the optical system 101 of this embodiment when focused at infinity. In each aberration diagram, Fno is the F-number, and ω is the half angle of view (°). In the spherical aberration diagrams, the solid line represents the spherical aberration for the d-line (wavelength 587.6 nm), and the two-dot chain line represents the spherical aberration for the g-line (wavelength 435.8 nm). In the astigmatism diagrams, the solid line (S) represents the astigmatism of the sagittal image plane for the d-line, and the dashed line (M) represents the astigmatism of the meridional image plane for the d-line. The distortion aberration diagram shows distortion for the d-line. The chromatic aberration diagram shows chromatic aberration for the g-line. These are the same for the subsequent aberration diagrams.

[0023] Next, the features of the optical system 101 of this embodiment will be described.

[0024] In order to capture images (video) that give a sense of realism, it is important to have a wide-angle lens capable of stereoscopic photography and to have a long base line length.

[0025] In the optical system 101 of this embodiment, the front lens group N has a negative refractive power, which widens the photographing angle of view.

[0026] In addition, in the optical system 101 of this embodiment, a front lens group N and a rear lens group P are provided in front of and behind the intermediate group M having a reflecting surface. This allows the optical system 101 to be compact while achieving high optical performance. In the case of a wide-angle imaging optical system, the light at the peripheral angle of view at the first surface, which is the surface closest to the object in the optical system 101, is steep, so if a reflecting surface is provided on the first surface, the reflecting surface will become large. In addition, if a reflecting surface is provided on the final surface, which is the surface closest to the image in the optical system 101, it is necessary to ensure a certain degree of back focus in order to provide the reflecting surface. As a result, it becomes necessary to strengthen the power of the front lens group N, making it difficult to satisfactorily correct distortion aberration and chromatic aberration of magnification. On the other hand, by providing a reflecting surface in the intermediate group M, where the height of the light beam is relatively low, as in this embodiment, the entire device can be configured to be small. Furthermore, by appropriately designing the configuration of the front lens group N and the rear lens group P, which are arranged at a position where the height of the light beam is relatively high, distortion aberration and astigmatism can be easily corrected.

[0027] Moreover, the optical system 101 of this embodiment is configured so as to satisfy the following conditional expression by bending the optical path by the reflecting members 103 and 105. 0.05 <Dout / Din<0.50 (1)

[0028] Here, Din is the distance between the vertices of the surfaces of the lenses arranged closest to the object side in the two optical systems 101 and 102, and Dout is the distance between the vertices of the surfaces of the lenses arranged closest to the image side.

[0029] Conditional expression (1) defines the distance between the object-side lens surfaces and the distance between the image-side lens surfaces of the two optical systems 101 and 102. By satisfying conditional expression (1), it is possible to configure the entire apparatus to be compact while ensuring a sufficient baseline length.

[0030] If the lower limit of conditional expression (1) is exceeded, the distance between the vertices of the lens surfaces closest to the image becomes too small, causing interference between the rear lens groups P of the two optical systems 101 and 102. Alternatively, the distance between the vertices of the lens surfaces closest to the object becomes too large. In this case, it becomes difficult to capture a stereoscopic image that is natural to the human eye. If the upper limit is exceeded, the distance between the vertices of the lens surfaces closest to the object becomes too small, making it impossible to ensure the baseline length. In this case, it also becomes difficult to capture a stereoscopic image that is natural to the human eye. Alternatively, the distance between the rear lens groups P becomes too large, causing the entire device to become large.

[0031] With the above-described configuration, in this embodiment, the lens device 100 can be made compact while the base length can be increased.

[0032] The numerical range of conditional expression (1) is preferably within the range of the following conditional expression (1a), and more preferably within the range of (1b). 0.07 <Dout / Din<0.47 (1a) 0.10 <Dout / Din<0.45 (1b)

[0033] Next, a preferred configuration of the lens apparatus 100 of this embodiment will be described. The preferred configuration described below needs to be satisfied by at least one of the two optical systems 101 and 102. It is more preferable that both of the two optical systems 101 and 102 satisfy the preferred configuration described below, for example by making the two optical systems 101 and 102 have the same configuration.

[0034] In the intermediate group, the refractive power between the reflecting surface R1 of the first reflecting member 103 and the reflecting surface R2 of the second reflecting member 105 is preferably positive.

[0035] In the optical system 101 of this embodiment, the optical path is bent twice in the intermediate group M, so that the intermediate group M is somewhat large. In addition, divergent light is incident on the intermediate group M from the front lens group N. Therefore, if the intermediate group M does not have a component of positive refractive power, the diameter of the lens surface on the object side of the rear lens group P becomes large. In contrast, by making the refractive power between the reflecting surface R1 of the first reflecting member 103 and the reflecting surface R2 of the second reflecting member 105 positive, it is possible to configure the rear lens group P small. In this embodiment, a cemented lens having a positive refractive power, in which a positive lens and a negative lens are cemented, is disposed between the first reflecting member 103 and the second reflecting member 105. This makes it possible to reduce the diameter of the rear lens group P while also satisfactorily correcting axial chromatic aberration.

[0036] In addition, when prisms are used as the first reflecting member 103 and the second reflecting member 105, the refractive power of the light exit side surface of the first reflecting member 103 and the light incident side surface of the second reflecting member 105 also contributes to the refractive power between the reflecting surfaces R1 and R2.

[0037] Moreover, it is preferable that the front lens group N has one positive lens and two negative lenses. By strengthening the negative refractive power of the front lens group N, the optical system 101 can be made compact while widening the angle. In this case, by sharing the negative refractive power among two or more negative lenses, the occurrence of distortion and astigmatism can be suppressed. Furthermore, by including one or more positive lenses, chromatic aberration of magnification can be well corrected.

[0038] Moreover, it is preferable that the rear lens group P has a positive refractive power, which allows the refractive power arrangement of the optical system 101 to be of an inverted telephoto type, thereby achieving both a wide angle and a sufficient back focus.

[0039] Furthermore, when the rear lens group P has positive refractive power, it is preferable that the rear lens group P has two positive lenses and one negative lens. By sharing the positive refractive power of the rear lens group P with two or more positive lenses, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of coma aberration and astigmatism. Also, by including one or more negative lenses, it is possible to effectively correct axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration of magnification.

[0040] Furthermore, it is preferable that the optical path in the optical system 101 bends twice. The more the optical path bends, the larger the physical space required to provide the reflecting member becomes. Also, the optical system 101 becomes complicated in configuration.

[0041] Furthermore, it is preferable that the rear lens group P has a positive lens arranged closest to the object. Since off-axis light rays incident on the rear lens group P from the object side are diverging light, by imparting positive refractive power to the lens closest to the object in the rear lens group P, it is possible to make the diameter of the lens arranged closer to the image side than the lens arranged closest to the object in the rear lens group P smaller. This makes it easy to prevent the rear lens groups P of the two optical systems 101 and 102 from interfering with each other.

[0042] Moreover, it is preferable that the two optical images (image circles IC1, IC2) formed by the two optical systems 101, 102 are captured by one image sensor, which makes it possible to reduce the size of the entire device including the image sensor.

[0043] Next, conditions that are preferably satisfied by the optical system 101 of the lens apparatus 100 of this embodiment will be described. The following preferred conditions need only be satisfied by at least one of the two optical systems 101 and 102. It is more preferable that both of the two optical systems 101 and 102 satisfy the following preferred conditions. 2.00 <fm / f<20.00 (2) 0.10<|fn / fp|<0.50 (3) 0.10 <L1 / L<0.60 (4) 0.10 <L2 / L<0.50 (5)

[0044] Here, fm is the focal length of the intermediate group M. f is the focal length of the entire optical system 101. fn is the focal length of the front lens group N. fp is the focal length of the rear lens group P. L1 is the distance on the optical axis from the lens surface closest to the object of the front lens group N to the reflecting surface R1 of the first reflecting member 103. L is the distance on the optical axis from the lens surface closest to the object of the optical system 101 to the image plane. L2 is the distance on the optical axis from the reflecting surface R2 of the second reflecting member 105 to the lens surface closest to the image of the rear lens group P. Here, the "distance on the optical axis" refers to the distance on the optical axis in a state where the bending of the optical path by the reflecting member is unfolded (as shown in FIG. 3).

[0045] Condition (2) defines a preferable range for the focal length of the intermediate group M. Below the lower limit of condition (2), the refractive power of the intermediate group M becomes too strong, making it difficult to effectively correct spherical aberration and axial chromatic aberration. Above the upper limit of condition (2), the refractive power of the intermediate group M becomes too weak, causing the diameter of the rear lens group P of the two optical systems 101 and 102 to become large.

[0046] The numerical range of conditional formula (2) is preferably within the range of the following conditional formula (2a), and more preferably within the range of conditional formula (2b). 3.00 <fm / f<19.00 (2a) 4.00 <fm / f<18.00 (2b)

[0047] Conditional formula (3) defines the ratio of the focal length of the rear lens group P to the focal length of the front lens group N. Below the lower limit of conditional formula (3), the negative refractive power of the front lens group N becomes too strong, making it difficult to satisfactorily correct lateral chromatic aberration and distortion. Above the upper limit of conditional formula (3), the refractive power of the rear lens group P becomes too strong, making it difficult to satisfactorily correct coma and astigmatism.

[0048] The numerical range of conditional formula (3) is preferably within the range of the following conditional formula (3a), and more preferably within the range of conditional formula (3b). 0.12<|fn / fp|<0.45 (3a) 0.14<|fn / fp|<0.40 (3b)

[0049] Conditional expression (4) specifies a preferable range for the distance on the optical axis from the surface in the front lens group N closest to the object to the reflecting surface R1. If the lower limit of conditional expression (4) is not satisfied, the distance from the surface in the front lens group N closest to the object to the reflecting surface R1 becomes too small, making it difficult to provide the lenses included in the front lens group N with an appropriate thickness. As a result, it becomes difficult to satisfactorily correct lateral chromatic aberration and distortion aberration. Furthermore, if the upper limit of conditional expression (4) is exceeded, the diameter of the lenses included in the front lens group N becomes too large, undesirably increasing the size of the optical system 101.

[0050] The numerical range of conditional expression (4) is preferably within the range of the following conditional expression (4a), and more preferably within the range of conditional expression (4b). 0.20 <L1 / L<0.50 (4a) 0.30 <L1 / L<0.45 (4b)

[0051] Conditional formula (5) specifies a preferable range for the distance on the optical axis from the reflecting surface R2 to the surface in the rear lens group P closest to the image side. If the lower limit of conditional formula (5) is not satisfied, the distance from the reflecting surface R2 to the surface in the rear lens group P closest to the image side becomes too small, making it difficult to provide the lenses in the rear lens group P with an appropriate thickness. As a result, it becomes difficult to satisfactorily correct coma aberration and astigmatism. Moreover, if the upper limit of conditional formula (5) is exceeded, the diameter of the lenses in the rear lens group P becomes too large, undesirably increasing the size of the optical system 101.

[0052] The numerical range of conditional formula (5) is preferably within the range of the following conditional formula (5a), and more preferably within the range of conditional formula (5b). 0.15 <L2 / L<0.40 (5a) 0.19 <L2 / L<0.30 (5b)

[0053] Moreover, it is preferable that the horizontal angle of view of the optical system 101 is 150° or more. The horizontal angle of view refers to the angle of view in a plane including the optical axis of the optical system 101 and the optical axis of the optical system 102. Note that the angle of view referred to here refers to the angle of view of light reaching the outermost periphery of the image circle. By making the horizontal angle of view of the optical system 101 150° or more, it is possible to further enhance the sense of realism of the image (video) obtained by stereoscopic shooting using the lens device 100.

[0054] Furthermore, it is preferable that the distance between the vertices of the lenses arranged closest to the object side of optical system 101 and optical system 102 (base line length on the object side, Din) is 40 mm or more and 65 mm or less. This is because the base line length of the human eye is about 60 mm. By setting the base line length on the object side of optical system 101 and optical system 102 to 40 mm or more and 65 mm or less, it is possible to obtain an image (video) that can be viewed stereoscopically naturally.

[0055] Next, another embodiment will be described.

[0056] 5 is a cross-sectional view of optical system 101 in Example 2. In Example 2, both first reflecting member 103 and second reflecting member 105 are formed of prisms, similar to Example 1. However, in Example 2, unlike Example 1, the light exit side surface of first reflecting member 103 and the light entrance side surface of second reflecting member 105 of intermediate group M are curved surfaces, so that the refractive power between the reflecting surface of first reflecting member 103 and the reflecting surface of second reflecting member 105 is made positive.

[0057] FIG. 6 is an aberration diagram in the optical system 101 of the second embodiment.

[0058] 7 is a cross-sectional view of optical system 101 in Example 3. Optical system 101 in Example 3 differs from Examples 1 and 2 in the configurations of front lens group N, intermediate group M, and rear lens group P. In intermediate group M in Example 3, both first reflecting member 103 and second reflecting member 105 are prisms, similar to Example 1.

[0059] FIG. 8 is an aberration diagram in the optical system 101 of the third embodiment.

[0060] 9 is a cross-sectional view of an optical system 101 of Example 4. The optical system 101 of Example 4 differs from Examples 1, 2, and 3 in that a first reflecting member 103 and a second reflecting member 105 are both formed of mirrors.

[0061] FIG. 10 is an aberration diagram of the optical system 101 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0062] Next, Numerical Examples 1 to 4 corresponding to the optical systems of each embodiment are shown. Each Numerical Example represents an infinity focused state. In each Numerical Example, the surface number is the order of the optical surfaces when counted from the object side. r is the radius of curvature of the ith (i is a natural number) optical surface (i-th surface) counted from the object side, and d is the distance between the i-th surface and the i+1-th surface. nd and νd are the refractive index and Abbe number for the d line of the lens.

[0063] In each numerical example, for aspheric lens surfaces, an asterisk (*) is added after the surface number.
