[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2020-008629 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] To achieve this configuration with a smaller image sensor, it is necessary to position the lens groups behind the reflecting surfaces closest to the image planes of the two parallel optical systems closer together. However, with the conventional technology disclosed in Patent Document 1, the lens groups behind the reflecting surfaces closest to the image planes of the two parallel optical systems interfere with each other. Furthermore, to ensure a baseline length appropriate for stereoscopic viewing, it is necessary to increase the distance between the optical axis of the lens group located on the object side of the reflecting surface closest to the object and the optical axis of the lens group located on the image side of the reflecting surface closest to the image plane. However, with the conventional technology disclosed in Patent Document 1, a baseline length appropriate for stereoscopic viewing is not ensured.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0010] The lens device according to each embodiment will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each embodiment, two optical systems are arranged in parallel with an imaging element to obtain an image that can be viewed stereoscopically.
[0011] FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of a main portion of a lens device 100 equipped with two optical systems (wide-angle lenses). As shown in FIG. 9, the lens device 100 of each embodiment has two optical systems 101 and 102, which are arranged parallel to an image sensor 200. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a state in which light rays incident on the optical systems 101 and 102 are bent by a reflecting prism, and image circles 201 and 202 of the two optical systems 101 and 102 are formed within a single image sensor 200. As shown in FIG. 10, the image circles 201 and 202 of the two optical systems are arranged side by side on a single image sensor 200. Images (optical images) are formed on the image plane of the image sensor 200 by the optical systems 101 and 102. That is, in the lens device 100 of this embodiment, two optical images formed by the two optical systems are formed on a single image sensor 200. The two optical systems 101 and 102 are held by a housing (not shown). In each embodiment, the optical systems 101 and 102 are identical except for the direction of reflection of the reflecting members, which will be described later, and therefore the following description will focus on the optical system 101 as a representative. Hereinafter, when the optical systems 101 and 102 are said to be identical in this specification, this means that the lens configurations and the like are identical except for the direction of reflection of the reflecting members.
[0012] The lens device 100 of each embodiment is a lens device used in an imaging device capable of capturing a wide-angle subject as a stereoscopically viewable image, such as for panoramic photography.
[0013] 1, 3, 5, and 7 are cross-sectional views of optical systems 101 of Examples 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. As will be described later, the optical system 101 of each Example has reflecting prisms PR1 (first reflecting member) and PR2 (second reflecting member) as two reflecting members, and actually reflects the optical path twice (the optical path is bent twice).
[0014] 2, 4, 6, and 8 are aberration diagrams of the optical systems 101 of Examples 1, 2, 3, and 4 when focused at infinity, respectively.
[0015] In each lens cross-sectional view, the left side is the object side (front) and the right side is the image side (rear). The optical system 101 in each embodiment is configured to have multiple lens groups. Each lens group may be composed of a single lens, or may be composed of multiple lenses. The lens group may also include an aperture stop.
[0016] In each lens cross-sectional view, Li represents the ith lens group (i is a natural number) counting from the object side. SP represents an aperture stop. IP represents an image plane. When the optical system 101 of each embodiment is used as the photographic optical system of a digital still camera or digital video camera, the image plane IP is arranged as the imaging surface of a solid-state image sensor (photoelectric conversion element) such as a CCD sensor or CMOS sensor. When the optical system 101 of each embodiment is used as the photographic optical system of a silver halide film camera, a photosensitive surface equivalent to the film surface is placed on the image plane IP. Although not shown, the optical system 101 of each embodiment may have an optical block equivalent to an optical filter, face plate, low-pass filter, infrared cut filter, etc. arranged on the object side of the image plane IP. PR1 and PR2 are both prisms.
[0017] In the spherical aberration diagram, Fno is the F-number, and shows the amount of spherical aberration for the d-line (wavelength 587.6 nm) and g-line (wavelength 435.8 nm). In the astigmatism diagram, ΔS shows the amount of astigmatism on the sagittal image plane, and ΔM shows the amount of astigmatism on the meridional image plane. In the distortion diagram, the amount of distortion for the d-line is shown. In the chromatic aberration diagram, the amount of chromatic aberration for the g-line is shown. ω is the half angle of view (°).
[0018] To experience a realistic 3D image when viewing captured images on a head-mounted display, etc., it is best to set the distance between the optical axes of the two optical systems (baseline length) at the time of capture to be approximately the same as the distance between human eyes. Generally, the distance between human eyes is approximately 60-65 mm. The greater the difference from the distance between the two optical systems, the greater the deviation from the stereoscopic sensation based on human experience, causing discomfort. If the baseline length is too short, there will be no parallax between the left and right optical systems, and the captured image will not have a sense of 3D. Conversely, if the baseline length is too long, there will be too much parallax, which will emphasize the 3D sensation when viewing the captured image, potentially causing fatigue for the viewer.
[0019] Next, the characteristic configuration of the optical system 101 in each embodiment will be described.
[0020] In the lens device 100 of each embodiment, the optical system 101 includes, arranged in order from the object side to the image side, a first lens group L1 with negative refractive power, a first reflecting member PR1, a second reflecting member PR2, and a second lens group L2 with positive refractive power. The reflecting surface of the first reflecting member PR1 is designated as a first reflecting surface SR1, and the reflecting surface of the second reflecting member PR2 is designated as a second reflecting surface SR2. This allows the lens device 100 of each embodiment to be configured so that the image circle can be contained within a single image sensor while ensuring the base length of two wide-angle optical systems.
[0021] Furthermore, in the lens device 100 of each embodiment, the optical system 101 satisfies the following conditional expressions (1) and (2). Here, the distance on the optical axis from the reflecting surface (SR1) of the first reflecting member PR1 to the reflecting surface (SR2) of the second reflecting member PR2 is defined as DR. The focal length of the optical system 101 is defined as f, and the focal length of the second lens group L2 is defined as f2. Also, the distance on the optical axis from the reflecting surface (SR2) of the second reflecting member PR2 to the image plane IP is defined as D2.
[0022] 5.9 <DR / f<13.6 (1) 0.7 <D2 / f2<5.2 (2) Conditional expression (1) defines the ratio of the distance on the optical axis from the first reflecting surface SR1 to the second reflecting surface SR2 to the focal length of the optical system 101. If the lower limit of conditional expression (1) is not met, the distance between the optical axes of the first lens groups L1 of the two optical systems arranged in parallel becomes narrower, and the base length becomes shorter. As a result, the parallax of the images obtained by the two optical systems becomes smaller, and a three-dimensional effect cannot be obtained. If the upper limit of conditional expression (1) is met, the distance between the optical axes of the first lens groups L1 of the two optical systems arranged in parallel becomes too wide, and the parallax becomes excessive.
[0023] Furthermore, it is preferable that the numerical range of conditional expression (1) be within the range of the following conditional expression (1a): Furthermore, it is even more preferable that the numerical range of conditional expression (1) be within the range of the following conditional expression (1b):
[0024] 6.2 <DR / f<12.9 (1a) 6.6 <DR / f<12.3 (1b) Conditional expression (2) defines the ratio of the axial distance from the second reflecting surface SR2 to the image plane IP to the focal length of the optical system 101. If the lower limit of conditional expression (2) is not met, the refractive power of the second lens group L2 weakens, increasing the height of the off-axial light beam in the second lens group L2 and increasing the lens diameter of the second lens group L2. This results in interference between the second lens groups L2 of the two parallel optical systems. If the upper limit of conditional expression (2) is exceeded, the refractive power of the second lens group L2 strengthens. This requires increasing the angle of the off-axial light beam that exits the first lens group L1 and enters the second lens group L2. This increases the lens diameter of the first lens group L1, resulting in interference between the parallel optical systems. Alternatively, if the axial distance DR from the first reflecting surface SR1 to the second reflecting surface SR2 is shortened to avoid this, an appropriate base length cannot be ensured. Furthermore, the distance D2 from the second reflecting surface SR2 to the image plane IP becomes shorter, which impairs the grip (ease of holding) of the lens device or the imaging device.
[0025] Furthermore, it is preferable that the numerical range of conditional expression (2) be within the range of the following conditional expression (2a): Furthermore, it is even more preferable that the numerical range of conditional expression (2) be within the range of the following conditional expression (2b):
[0026] 0.8 <D2 / f2<4.6 (2a) 1.0 <D2 / f2<3.8 (2b) With the above configuration, it is possible to provide a lens device capable of capturing stereoscopic images by using a single, smaller imaging element instead of two optical systems.
[0027] Next, we will describe conditions and configurations that are preferably satisfied by the lens device 100 of each embodiment. The following preferred conditions and configurations may be satisfied by at least one of the two optical systems 101 and 102. It is more preferable that both optical systems 101 and 102 satisfy the following preferred conditions and configurations, for example, by making the two optical systems 101 and 102 identical in configuration.
[0028] In the lens device 100 of each embodiment, it is preferable that the optical system 101 of each embodiment satisfies the following conditional expression (3) by bending the optical path with a reflecting member: Here, the distance between the vertices of the lenses located closest to the object in the two optical systems 101 and 102 is defined as Din, and the distance between the vertices of the lenses located closest to the image is defined as Dout.
[0029] 0.03 <Dout / Din<0.50 (3) Conditional expression (3) defines the distance between the object-side lens surfaces of the two optical systems 101 and 102 and the distance between the image-side lens surfaces. If the lower limit of conditional expression (3) is not met, the base length becomes insufficient, making it difficult to capture natural stereoscopic images. If the upper limit of conditional expression (3) is exceeded, the parallax becomes excessive, making it difficult to capture natural stereoscopic images.
[0030] Furthermore, it is preferable that the range of the value of conditional expression (3) satisfies the range of the following conditional expression (3a): Furthermore, it is even more preferable that the range of conditional expression (3) satisfies the range of the following conditional expression (3b):
[0031] 0.05 <Dout / Din<0.40 (3a) 0.09 <Dout / Din<0.30 (3b) Furthermore, in the lens device 100 of each embodiment, it is preferable that the optical system 101 satisfies the following conditional expression (4), where Dtotal is the distance on the optical axis from the object-side surface of the lens located closest to the object to the image plane IP.
[0032] 28.2 <Dtotal / f<52.0 (4) Conditional expression (4) defines the ratio of the distance on the optical axis from the object-side surface of the lens located closest to the object in optical system 101 to the image plane IP to the focal length of optical system 101. If the lower limit of conditional expression (4) is not met, the overall length of optical system 101 becomes short, making it difficult to ensure an appropriate base length for stereoscopic viewing, and to arrange the reflecting surfaces and ensure gripping performance accordingly. If the upper limit of conditional expression (4) is exceeded, the first lens group L1 and the second lens group L2 are moved away from the aperture stop SP, which increases the lens diameter and makes it unavoidable for the optical systems arranged in parallel to each other.
[0033] Furthermore, it is preferable that the numerical range of conditional expression (4) be within the range of the following conditional expression (4a): Furthermore, it is even more preferable that the numerical range of conditional expression (4) be within the range of the following conditional expression (4b):
[0034] 29.2 <Dtotal / f<49.5 (4a) 30.2 <Dtotal / f<47.2 (4b) Furthermore, in the lens device 100 of each embodiment, when the distance on the optical axis from the object-side surface of the lens closest to the object in the first lens group L1 to the reflecting surface (SR1) of the first reflecting member PR1 is D1, it is preferable that the optical system 101 satisfies the following conditional expression (5):
[0035] 8.4 <D1 / f<23.5 (5) Conditional expression (5) defines the ratio of the axial distance from the object-side surface of the lens closest to the object in the first lens group L1 to the first reflecting surface SR1 to the focal length of the optical system 101. If the lower limit of conditional expression (5) is not met, the first lens group L1 approaches the second lens group L2, making it impossible to ensure an appropriate base length. If the upper limit of conditional expression (5) is met, the aperture stop SP becomes farther away from the first lens group L1, and the lens diameter of the first lens group L1 increases, causing interference between the first lens groups L1 of the two parallel optical systems.
[0036] Furthermore, it is preferable that the numerical range of conditional expression (5) satisfies the range of the following conditional expression (5a): Furthermore, it is even more preferable that the numerical range of conditional expression (5) satisfies the range of the following conditional expression (5b):
[0037] 9.8 <D1 / f<21.0 (5a) 11.1 <D1 / f<18.5 (5b) In the lens device 100 of each embodiment, it is preferable that the optical system 101 satisfies the following conditional expression (6), where f1 is the focal length of the first lens group L1.
[0038] -4.3 <f1 / f<-0.8 (6) Conditional expression (6) defines the ratio between the focal length of the first lens group L1 and the focal length of the optical system 101. When the lower limit of conditional expression (6) is not reached, the refractive power of the first lens group L1 weakens, and the lens diameter of the first lens group L1 increases. This makes it easier for the first lens groups L1 of the two optical systems arranged in parallel to interfere with each other. When the upper limit of conditional expression (6) is reached, the refractive power of the first lens group L1 strengthens, and the diameter of the axial light beam incident on the second lens group L2 increases, making the lens diameter of the second lens group L2 increase. This makes it easier for the second lens groups L2 of the two optical systems arranged in parallel to interfere with each other.
[0039] Furthermore, it is preferable that the numerical range of conditional expression (6) be within the range of the following conditional expression (6a): Furthermore, it is even more preferable that the numerical range of conditional expression (6) be within the range of the following conditional expression (6b):
[0040] -3.7 <f1 / f<-0.9 (6a) -3.3 <f1 / f<-1.1 (6b) Furthermore, in the lens apparatus 100 of each embodiment, the optical system 101 preferably has an aperture stop SP between the reflecting surface (SR1) of the first reflecting member PR1 and the reflecting surface (SR2) of the second reflecting member PR2. If the aperture stop SP is located closer to the object than the first reflecting surface SR1, the second lens group L2 will be farther away from the aperture stop SP, and the lens diameter of the second lens group L2 will be larger. This will cause interference between the second lens groups L2 of the two optical systems arranged in parallel. Furthermore, if the aperture stop SP is located closer to the image than the second reflecting surface SR2, the aperture stops SP of the two optical systems arranged in parallel will also interfere with each other.
[0041] In the lens apparatus 100 of each embodiment, it is preferable that the optical system 101 satisfies the following conditional expression (7), where DP is the distance on the optical axis from the aperture stop SP to the image plane IP.
[0042] 10.4 <DP / f<22.5 (7) Conditional expression (7) defines the ratio of the distance on the optical axis from the aperture stop SP to the image plane IP to the focal length of the optical system 101. If the lower limit of conditional expression (7) is not met, the aperture stop SP approaches the second reflecting surface SR2, causing interference between the aperture stop SP and the lens barrel that holds the second lens unit L2. If the upper limit of conditional expression (7) is exceeded, the second lens unit L2 moves farther from the aperture stop SP, and the lens diameter of the second lens unit L2 increases, making it more likely that the second lens units L2 of the two optical systems arranged in parallel will interfere with each other.
[0043] Furthermore, it is preferable that the numerical range of conditional expression (7) satisfies the range of the following conditional expression (7a): Furthermore, it is even more preferable that the numerical range of conditional expression (7) satisfies the range of the following conditional expression (7b):
[0044] 11.8 <DP / f<21.3 (7a) 12.3 <DP / f<19.8 (7b) In the lens device 100 of each embodiment, it is preferable that the optical system 101 satisfies the following conditional expression (8), where f1 is the focal length of the first lens group L1.
[0045] -1.25 <f1 / f2<-0.05 (8) Conditional expression (8) defines the ratio between the focal length of the first lens group L1 and the focal length of the second lens group L2. When the lower limit of conditional expression (8) is not reached, the refractive power of the first lens group L1 is weakened, and the aperture stop SP is positioned relatively closer to the image side of the optical system 101. As a result, the aperture stop SP approaches the second reflecting surface SR2, causing interference between the aperture stop SP and the lens barrel holding the second lens group L2. When the upper limit of conditional expression (8) is reached, the refractive power of the first lens group L1 is strengthened, and the aperture stop SP is positioned closer to the object side of the optical system 101. As a result, the second lens group L2 is positioned farther away from the aperture stop SP, and the lens diameter of the second lens group L2 increases, making it more likely that the second lens groups L2 of the two optical systems arranged side by side will interfere with each other.
[0046] Furthermore, it is preferable that the numerical range of conditional expression (8) be within the range of the following conditional expression (8a): Furthermore, it is even more preferable that the numerical range of conditional expression (8) be within the range of the following conditional expression (8b):
[0047] -1.03 <f1 / f2<-0.06 (8a) -0.80 <f1 / f2<-0.07 (8b) Next, the lens device 100 of each embodiment will be described.
[0048] In the lens apparatus 100 of each embodiment, two optical systems 101 and 102, each with a field angle of 95°, are arranged in parallel. Each of the two optical systems 101 and 102 has, arranged in order from the object side to the image side, a first lens group L1 with negative refractive power, a first reflecting member PR1, a second reflecting member PR2, and a second lens group L2 with positive refractive power. An aperture stop SP is located between the first reflecting member PR1 and the second reflecting member PR2.
[0049] In Example 1, the image height is 5.25 mm and the base length is 60 mm.
[0050] In Example 2, the image height is 5.25 mm and the base length is 55 mm.
[0051] In Example 3, the image height is 4.00 mm and the base length is 65 mm.
[0052] In Example 4, the image height is 4.00 mm and the base length is 60 mm.
[0053] Numerical Examples 1 to 4 corresponding to Examples 1 to 4, respectively, are shown below.
[0054] 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. Also, nd represents the refractive index of each optical element with respect to the d-line, and vd represents the Abbe number of the optical element. Note that the Abbe number vd of a certain material is given by the following when the refractive indices at the d-line (587.6 nm), F-line (486.1 nm), and C-line (656.3 nm) of the Fraunhofer lines are Nd, NF, and NC, respectively: νd=(Nd-1) / (NF-NC) It is expressed as:
[0055] In each numerical example, d, focal length (mm), F-number, and half angle of view (°) are all values when the optical system of each example is focused on an object at infinity. "Back focus" is the distance on the optical axis from the final lens surface (the lens surface closest to the image) to the paraxial image plane, expressed as an air-equivalent length. "Total lens length" is the distance on the optical axis from the forefront lens surface (the lens surface closest to the object) to the final lens surface plus the back focus. "Lens group" is not limited to cases where it is composed of multiple lenses, but also includes cases where it is composed of a single lens.
[0056] In Numerical Examples 1 to 4, the entire optical system is extended when focusing from an object at infinity to an object at a close distance. However, in order to reduce the weight of the drive unit, it is also possible to perform focusing by driving only some of the lenses in the optical system.
[0057] If the optical surface is aspherical, an asterisk (*) is added to the right of the surface number. The aspherical shape is expressed as follows: X is the displacement from the vertex of the surface in the optical axis direction, h is the height from the optical axis in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis, R is the paraxial radius of curvature, k is the conic constant, and A4, A6, A8, and A10 are the aspherical coefficients of each order. x=(h2 / R) / [1+{1-(1+k)(h / R)2}1 / 2 +A4×h4+A6×h6+A8×h8+A10×h10] In addition, "e±XX" in each aspherical coefficient means "×10±XX."

[0060] [Imaging device] Next, an embodiment of the imaging device of the present invention will be described. FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of an imaging device (digital still camera) 300 of this embodiment. The imaging device 300 includes a camera body 320 having an imaging element 310 and a lens apparatus 100 including optical systems 101 and 102 similar to those of any of the first to fourth embodiments described above. The lens apparatus 100 and the camera body 320 may be integrated or detachably configured. The camera body 320 may be a so-called single-lens reflex camera with a quick-turn mirror, or a so-called mirrorless camera without a quick-turn mirror. The imaging element 310 is a solid-state imaging element (photoelectric conversion element) such as a CCD sensor or CMOS sensor that receives and photoelectrically converts the optical image formed by the optical systems 101 and 102. Note that FIG. 11 shows only one optical system because two optical systems are arranged side by side in the depth direction.
[0061] The imaging device 300 of this embodiment includes the lens device 100, and is therefore capable of capturing stereoscopic images by using one smaller imaging element to perform imaging using two optical systems.
[0062] The optical systems of the above-described embodiments are not limited to the digital still camera shown in FIG. 11, but can also be applied to various imaging devices such as broadcast cameras, cameras for silver halide film, and surveillance cameras.
[0063] Although the preferred embodiments and examples of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments and examples, and various combinations, modifications, and changes are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention.
