Optical system and imaging device having the same

[0001] The present invention relates to an optical system suitable for use in imaging devices such as digital video cameras, digital still cameras, broadcast cameras, and cameras for silver halide film.

[0002] In recent years, there has been a demand for optical systems used in imaging devices that have high optical performance, a wide angle, and a small size.

[0003] In order to obtain a wide-angle optical system, Patent Document 1 discloses a configuration in which the lens arranged closest to the object side has negative refractive power.

[0004] JP 2024-35865 A

[0005] In the optical system of Patent Document 1, the partial dispersion ratio of the material of the negative lens arranged on the image side of the aperture stop is small, making it difficult to correct chromatic aberration of magnification between the g-line and the F-line, etc. Alternatively, since there is only one positive lens arranged on the image side of the aperture stop, it is difficult to suppress various aberrations that occur in lenses arranged on the object side of the aperture stop.

[0006] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a wide-angle, compact optical system having high optical performance.

[0008] An optical system according to another aspect of the present invention is an optical system comprising a front group, an aperture stop, and a rear group, arranged in this order from the object side to the image side, wherein the front group has a negative lens LN, the rear group has two or more positive lenses, and wherein, when the refractive index of the material of the negative lens LN at the d-line is ndN, the optical system satisfies the condition: 1.600<ndN<1.870.

[0011] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, examples of an optical system according to an embodiment of the present invention and an imaging device having the same will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0012] 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 are cross-sectional views of the optical system L0 of Examples 1 to 5, respectively, when focused at infinity. 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. Note that 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] In each lens cross-sectional view, SP denotes an aperture stop. IP denotes an image plane, on which the imaging surface of a solid-state imaging element (photoelectric conversion element) such as a CCD sensor or CMOS sensor is placed when the optical system L0 of each embodiment is used in a digital still camera or digital video camera. When the optical system L0 of each embodiment is used as the photographic optical system of a silver halide film camera, a photosensitive surface corresponding to the film surface is placed on the image plane IP.

[0015] The optical system L0 in each embodiment is composed of, arranged in order from the object side to the image side, a front lens unit L1, an aperture stop SP, and a rear lens unit LR. Each lens unit may be composed of a single lens or multiple lenses.

[0016] The solid arrows shown above each lens cross-sectional view represent the movement locus of one or more lenses that move during focusing from infinity to close range.

[0017] 2A, 2B, 4A, 4B, 6A, 6B, 8A, 8B, 10A, and 10B are aberration diagrams when focusing at infinity in the optical system L0 of Examples 1 to 5, respectively, and FIGS. 2B, 4B, 6B, 8B, and 10B are aberration diagrams when focusing at close range.

[0018] In the spherical aberration diagram, Fno is the F-number, the solid line indicates the amount of spherical aberration for the d-line (wavelength 587.6 nm), and the dashed line indicates the amount of spherical aberration for the g-line (wavelength 435.8 nm). In the astigmatism diagram, the solid line indicates the amount of aberration ΔS on the sagittal image plane, and the dashed line indicates the amount of aberration ΔM 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 of magnification for the g-line is shown. ω is the half angle of view (°).

[0019] Here, the Abbe number vd and the partial dispersion ratio θgf for the g-line and F-line are known as parameters related to the correction of chromatic aberration in an optical system. When the refractive indices of materials for the g-line (wavelength 435.8 nm), F-line (486.1 nm), C-line (656.3 nm), and d-line (587.6 nm) are Ng, NF, NC, and Nd, respectively, the Abbe number vd and the partial dispersion ratio θgf for the g-line and F-line are expressed by the following equations: vd=(Nd-1) / (NF-NC) θgf=(Ng-NF) / (NF-NC)

[0020] Next, the optical system L0 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0021] The optical system L0 according to the first embodiment is a single-focal-length optical system consisting of, in order from the object side to the image side, a front unit L1, an aperture stop SP, and a rear unit LR. By arranging the front unit L1 on the object side and the rear unit LR on the image side relative to the aperture stop SP, it is easy to achieve a symmetrical arrangement, and it is a configuration that makes it easy to correct various aberrations.

[0022] The front unit L1 has a negative lens LN and is configured to satisfy the following conditions: 2.160<ndN+(0.02174×νdN)<2.370 (1) 1.600<ndN<1.870 (2) 0.05<BF / f<0.75 (3)

[0023] Here, ndN and vdN are the refractive index for the d-line of the material of the negative lens LN, and the Abbe number of the material of the negative lens LN, respectively. BF is the back focus of the entire system. Here, the back focus is the air-equivalent value of the distance on the optical axis between the surface of the optical system L0 closest to the image and the image plane. f is the focal length of the entire system.

[0024] If the Abbe number of the material of the negative lens LN becomes large, exceeding the upper limit of conditional expression (1), low-dispersion glass must be selected as the material of the negative lens LN. This reduces the partial dispersion ratio between the g-line and the F-line, and the refractive index for the g-line becomes too small. This makes it difficult to correct chromatic aberration of magnification between the g-line and the F-line, which is undesirable.

[0025] If the Abbe number of the material of the negative lens LN falls below the lower limit of conditional expression (1) and becomes small, chromatic aberration of magnification between the F-line and C-line becomes too large, which is not preferable.

[0026] If the upper limit of conditional expression (2) is exceeded and the refractive index of the material of the negative lens LN for the d-line becomes large, the reflectance of the lens surface of the negative lens LN becomes high, which tends to increase the intensity of ghost light, which is undesirable.

[0027] If the refractive index of the material of the negative lens LN at the d-line becomes small by falling below the lower limit of conditional expression (2), the absolute value of the curvature of at least one of the object-side lens surface and the image-side lens surface of the negative lens LN becomes too large. As a result, the sag amount of the negative lens LN increases, which undesirably increases the overall lens length. Here, the overall lens length is the sum of the distance on the optical axis from the lens surface closest to the object to the lens surface closest to the image in the optical system L0 and the back focus.

[0028] If the upper limit of conditional expression (3) is exceeded, the back focus becomes too long, which is undesirable as the overall lens length becomes long. If the lower limit of conditional expression (3) is not exceeded, the back focus becomes too short. As a result, the intensity of ghost light that is generated by reflection between the image sensor and the lens located closest to the image side in optical system L0 becomes strong, which is undesirable.

[0029] The optical system L0 according to the first embodiment satisfies the above-mentioned configuration, and thus can provide a wide-angle, compact optical system L0 with high optical performance.

[0030] Here, wide angle refers to the optical system L0 in which the maximum value of the imaging half angle of view is 21.0 degrees or more.

[0031] Preferably, the conditional expressions (1), (2), and (3) are set to the following conditions: 2.180<ndN+(0.02174×νdN)<2.350 (1a) 1.605<ndN<1.850 (2a) 0.150<BF / f<0.747 (3a)

[0032] Furthermore, it is preferable that the conditional expressions (1), (2), and (3) are set to the following conditions: 2.200<ndN+(0.02174×νdN)<2.330 (1b) 1.610<ndN<1.830 (2b) 0.250<BF / f<0.745 (3b)

[0033] Furthermore, it is preferable that the conditional expressions (1), (2), and (3) are set to the following conditions: 2.250<ndN+(0.02174×νdN)<2.300 (1c) 1.615<ndN<1.800 (2c) 0.300<BF / f<0.743 (3c)

[0034] Next, the optical system L0 according to the second embodiment will be described.

[0035] The optical system L0 according to the second embodiment is an optical system that is composed of, in order from the object side to the image side, a front lens unit L1, an aperture stop SP, and a rear lens unit LR. By arranging the front lens unit L1 on the object side and the rear lens unit LR on the image side relative to the aperture stop SP, it is easy to achieve a symmetrical arrangement and a configuration that makes it easy to correct various aberrations.

[0036] By including two or more positive lenses in the rear group LR, it becomes easier to suppress various aberrations that occur in lenses that are arranged closer to the object side than the aperture stop SP.

[0037] The front unit L1 has a negative lens LN and is configured to satisfy the following condition: 1.600<ndN<1.870 (2) where ndN is the refractive index of the material of the negative lens LN at the d-line.

[0038] If the upper limit of conditional expression (2) is exceeded and the refractive index of the material of the negative lens LN for the d-line becomes large, the reflectance of the lens surface of the positive lens Gp becomes high, which tends to increase the intensity of ghost light, which is undesirable.

[0039] If the refractive index of the material of the negative lens LN at the d-line becomes small, falling below the lower limit of conditional expression (2), the absolute value of the curvature of at least one of the object-side lens surface and the image-side lens surface of the negative lens LN becomes too large, which undesirably increases the total lens length due to the increased sag of the negative lens LN.

[0040] The optical system L0 according to the second embodiment satisfies the above-described configuration, and thus can provide a wide-angle, compact optical system L0 with high optical performance. The optical system L0 according to the second embodiment may be a zoom lens.

[0041] Moreover, the wide angle refers to the optical system L0 in which the maximum value of the imaging half angle of view is 21.0 degrees or more.

[0042] It is preferable that the conditional expression (2) is set to the following condition: 1.605<ndN<1.850 (2a)

[0043] Furthermore, it is preferable that the conditional expression (2) is set to the following condition: 1.610<ndN<1.830 (2b)

[0044] Furthermore, it is preferable that the conditional expression (2) is set to the following condition: 1.615<ndN<1.800 (2c)

[0045] Next, a preferred configuration of the optical system L0 according to each embodiment will be described.

[0046] The rear unit LR has a first focus lens unit L2, and it is preferable that the front unit L1 is stationary and the first focus lens unit L2 is movable during focusing. Because the front unit L1 is relatively heavy and large, by keeping the front unit L1 stationary and moving the first focus lens unit L2, it becomes easy to reduce the size of the lens units that move during focusing.

[0047] The rear group further includes a second focus lens group L3 disposed adjacent to the first focus lens group L2 on the image side. Preferably, the second focus lens group L3 moves during focusing so that the distance between the first and second focus lens groups changes. By moving the multiple lens groups along different trajectories during focusing, fluctuations in various aberrations that occur during focusing can be easily suppressed.

[0048] The rear unit LR preferably has four or more lenses, which makes it easier to suppress various aberrations that occur in the front unit L1.

[0049] It is preferable that the lens closest to the object in the front unit L1 has a negative meniscus shape with a convex surface facing the object, so that off-axial rays are gently bent by the lens closest to the object in the front unit L1, making it easier to suppress astigmatism and the like.

[0050] It is preferable that the optical system L0 according to each embodiment satisfies one or more of the following conditional expressions: 0.50<|fN / f|<6.00 (4) 1.85<ndP<2.40 (5) 10.0<νdP<35.0 (6) 0.75<fP / f<4.00 (7) 1.00<|fF / f|<5.00 (8) 0.25<d2 / d1<0.80 (9) 0.020<θgFN-(0.6418-0.00162×νdN)<0.045 (10) 20.0<ω<60.0 (11) 1.0<Fno<3.0 (12)

[0051] Here, fN is the focal length of the negative lens LN. The front unit L1 has a positive lens LP, ndP is the refractive index of the material of the positive lens LP at the d-line, and νdN is the Abbe number of the material of the positive lens LP. fP is the focal length of the positive lens LP. fF is the focal length of the front unit L1.

[0052] d1 is the distance on the optical axis from the object side surface of the lens located closest to the object in the front unit L1 to the aperture stop SP, and d2 is the distance on the optical axis from the object side surface of the negative lens LN to the aperture stop SP.

[0053] θgFN is the partial dispersion ratio of the material of the negative lens LN. ω is the maximum half angle of view when the optical system L0 is focused on an object at infinity, in degrees. Fno is the F-number when the optical system L0 is focused on an object at infinity.

[0054] Next, the technical meaning of the above-mentioned conditional expressions (4) to (12) will be explained.

[0055] If the upper limit of conditional expression (4) is exceeded and the refractive power of the negative lens LN becomes weak, it becomes difficult to correct axial chromatic aberration and the like that occurs in the positive lens arranged in the optical system L0. If the lower limit of conditional expression (4) is not reached and the refractive power of the negative lens LN becomes strong, the axial light beam is diverged by the negative lens LN, and the effective diameter of the lens arranged on the image side of the negative lens LN becomes too large, which is undesirable.

[0056] If the refractive index of the material of the positive lens LP for the d-line becomes large beyond the upper limit of conditional expression (5), the reflectance of the lens surface of the positive lens LP becomes high, which tends to increase the intensity of ghost light, which is undesirable.

[0057] If the refractive index of the material of the positive lens LP for the d-line becomes small, falling below the lower limit of conditional expression (5), the absolute value of the curvature of at least one of the object-side lens surface and the image-side lens surface of the positive lens LP becomes too large, which results in an increase in the amount of sag of the positive lens LP and an increase in the overall lens length, which is undesirable.

[0058] If the Abbe number of the material of the positive lens LP becomes large, exceeding the upper limit of conditional expression (6), it becomes difficult to correct axial chromatic aberration and the like that occurs in the negative lens disposed in the optical system L0. If the Abbe number of the material of the positive lens LP becomes small, falling below the lower limit of conditional expression (6), it is undesirable because chromatic aberration of magnification and the like that occurs in the positive lens LP becomes too large.

[0059] If the upper limit of conditional expression (7) is exceeded and the refractive power of the positive lens LP becomes weak, the principal point of the optical system L0 is likely to be located on the image side, which is undesirable as the overall lens length becomes long.If the lower limit of conditional expression (7) is exceeded and the refractive power of the positive lens LP becomes strong, the Petzval sum is likely to become large, which is undesirable.

[0060] If the refractive power of the front unit L1 is weakened beyond the upper limit of conditional expression (8), and if the refractive power of the front unit L1 is positive, the principal point of the optical system L0 is likely to be located on the image side, which undesirably increases the overall lens length.Furthermore, if the refractive power of the front unit L1 is negative, the refractive power of the negative lens disposed in the front unit L1 becomes too weak, which undesirably increases the lens diameter of the negative lens.

[0061] If the refractive power of the front unit L1 becomes too strong, going below the lower limit of conditional expression (8), the various aberrations produced by the front unit L1 become too large, making it difficult to correct them with the rear unit LR.

[0062] If the upper limit of conditional expression (9) is exceeded and the negative lens LN is positioned closer to the object side, the height from the optical axis of off-axial rays will be high. As a result, chromatic aberration of magnification between the g-line and the F-line will be over-corrected, which is not preferable. If the lower limit of conditional expression (9) is exceeded and the negative lens LN is positioned closer to the image side, the height from the optical axis of off-axial rays will be low. As a result, chromatic aberration of magnification between the g-line and the F-line will be under-corrected, which is not preferable.

[0063] If the upper limit of conditional expression (10) is exceeded and the partial dispersion ratio of the negative lens LN becomes too large, chromatic aberration of magnification between the g-line and the F-line will be over-corrected, which is not preferable.If the lower limit of conditional expression (10) is exceeded and the partial dispersion ratio of the negative lens LN becomes too small, chromatic aberration of magnification between the g-line and the F-line will be under-corrected, which is not preferable.

[0064] If the upper limit of conditional expression (11) is exceeded and the maximum half angle of view becomes large, the height from the optical axis of off-axial rays incident on the front unit L1 becomes too high. As a result, the radial size of the lenses arranged in the front unit L1 becomes large, which is undesirable. If the lower limit of conditional expression (11) is exceeded, the maximum half angle of view becomes too small, which narrows the angle of view, which is undesirable.

[0065] If the F-number exceeds the upper limit of conditional expression (12) and becomes large, noise tends to increase when an image is captured by an image sensor, which is not preferable. If the F-number falls below the lower limit of conditional expression (12) and becomes small, the optical system L0 becomes large, which is not preferable.

[0066] It is more preferable that conditional expressions (4) to (12) be set as follows: 0.60<|fN / f|<5.50 (4a) 1.86<ndP<2.30 (5a) 14.0<νdP<31.0 (6a) 1.00<fP / f<3.50 (7a) 1.26<|fF / f|<4.50 (8a) 0.30<d2 / d1<0.77 (9a) 0.022<θgFN-(0.6418-0.00162×νdN)<0.041 (10a) 27.0<ω<50.0 (11a) 1.10<Fno<2.50 (12a)

[0067] Furthermore, it is preferable that conditional expressions (4) to (12) are set as follows: 0.63<|fN / f|<5.30 (4b) 1.87<ndP<2.20 (5b) 16.0<νdP<30.0 (6b) 1.20<fP / f<3.20 (7b) 1.35<|fF / f|<4.25 (8b) 0.33<d2 / d1<0.73 (9b) 0.023<θgFN-(0.6418-0.00162×νdN)<0.039 (10b) 29.0<ω<46.0 (11b) 1.13<Fno<2.10 (12b)

[0068] Furthermore, it is more preferable that conditional expressions (4) to (12) be set as follows: 0.67<|fN / f|<5.04 (4c) 1.89<ndP<2.11 (5c) 17.0<νdP<27.0 (6c) 1.33<fP / f<3.09 (7c) 1.52<|fF / f|<4.00 (8c) 0.36<d2 / d1<0.70 (9c) 0.024<θgFN-(0.6418-0.00162×νdN)<0.037 (10c) 31.0<ω<43.0 (11c) 1.15<Fno<2.00 (12c)

[0069] Next, the configuration of the optical system L0 in each example will be described in detail. From Example 2 onwards, differences from Example 1 will be mainly described.

[0070] [Example 1] The optical system L0 of Example 1 comprises, in order from the object side to the image side, a front lens unit L1, an aperture stop SP, and a rear lens unit LR. The rear lens unit LR comprises a first focus lens unit L2, a second focus lens unit L3, and a fourth lens unit L4. During focusing, the front lens unit L1, the aperture stop SP, and the fourth lens unit L4 remain stationary, and move along different loci from the first focus lens unit L2 and the second focus lens unit L3. By having the first focus lens unit L2 and the second focus lens unit L3 move along different loci, fluctuations in various aberrations that occur during focusing can be easily suppressed.

[0071] The negative lens LN is the fifth lens counted from the object side, and the positive lens LP is the seventh lens counted from the object side, which facilitates good correction of chromatic aberration of magnification and the like.

[0072] Furthermore, the lens located closest to the object side in the front unit L1 has positive refractive power, which makes it easier to correct distortion.

[0073] In the optical system L0 of Example 2, the lens in the front unit L1 located closest to the object has a negative meniscus shape with its convex surface facing the object side, which causes off-axial rays to bend gently by the lens in the front unit L1 located closest to the object, making it easier to suppress astigmatism and the like.

[0074] Furthermore, the lens element in the rear lens unit LR that is positioned closest to the image side has a negative meniscus shape with its convex surface facing the image side, which allows for good correction of field curvature.

[0075] Furthermore, by adding one negative lens to the second focus lens unit L3 compared to Example 1, it becomes easier to suppress fluctuations in various aberrations that occur during focusing.

[0076] Third Embodiment The optical system L0 of the third embodiment has a configuration in which the fourth lens unit L4 is made up of a cemented lens, making it easy to reduce the intensity of ghost light.

[0077] [Example 4] The optical system L0 of Example 4 comprises, arranged in order from the object side to the image side, a front unit L1, an aperture stop SP, and a rear unit LR. The rear unit LR is composed of a first focus lens unit L2 and a third lens unit L3. During focusing, the front unit L1, the aperture stop SP, and the third lens unit L3 remain stationary, while the first focus lens unit L2 moves. By limiting the number of lens units that move during focusing to one, it becomes easier to suppress relative decentering of the lens units that occurs during focusing.

[0078] [Example 5] The optical system L0 of Example 5 comprises, in order from the object side to the image side, a front unit L1, an aperture stop SP, and a rear unit LR. The rear unit LR is composed of a first focus lens unit L2, and during focusing, the front unit L1 and the aperture stop SP are stationary, while the first focus lens unit L2 moves. By having one lens unit that moves during focusing and one lens unit that is stationary during focusing, it becomes easier to suppress changes in performance due to relative decentering of each lens unit.

[0079] In the optical system L0 of each embodiment, it is preferable to vapor-deposit a fluorine coating on the object-side lens surface of the lens located closest to the object and the image-side lens surface of the lens located closest to the image. Because the object-side lens surface of the lens located closest to the object and the image-side lens surface of the lens located closest to the image are easily exposed to the outside world, vapor-depositing a fluorine coating can improve water and oil repellency, suppress flare, and achieve high optical performance. In particular, because the object-side lens surface of the lens located closest to the object has a large diameter, it is preferable to vapor-deposit a fluorine coating.

[0080] In the cemented lenses arranged in the optical system L0 of each example, it is preferable that the positive lens and negative lens constituting at least one cemented lens are bonded with an adhesive having an axial thickness of 0.005 mm or more and 0.05 mm or less. If it is less than 0.005 mm, the cemented lens is prone to peeling, and if it is more than 0.03 mm, the axial distance from the lens surface closest to the object to the lens surface closest to the image becomes long, resulting in a long overall lens length. It is more preferable that it satisfies the requirement of 0.008 mm or more and 0.02 mm or less.

[0081] At least one lens arranged in the optical system L0 in each example is provided with an anti-reflection coating for preventing reflection, and the anti-reflection coating is composed of multiple films. Here, when the refractive index of the film closest to the air interface with respect to the d-line is Nd, it is preferable that the anti-reflection coating 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, making it possible to further reduce light reflection and reduce ghosting.

[0082] 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, by setting Nd to 1.30 or less, ghosts can be further reduced.

[0083] Here, it is preferable to provide an anti-reflection film PC on the image-side lens surface of the negative lens arranged in the optical system L0 that has a concave surface facing the image side. Light reflected by a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side is likely to be reflected at a large angle relative to the normal direction of the lens surface of the negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side, and therefore the reflectance is likely to be high. Furthermore, light reflected by a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side is likely to be focused on the image plane, making ghost images noticeable. Therefore, by providing an anti-reflection film PC on the image-side lens surface of a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side, ghost images can be reduced.

[0084] Numerical examples 1 to 5 corresponding to the first to fifth embodiments, respectively, are shown below.

[0085] In the surface data of each numerical example, r represents the radius of curvature of each optical surface, and d (mm) represents the axial distance (distance on the optical axis) between the mth surface and the (m+1)th surface, where m is the surface number counted from the light incident side.

[0086] Furthermore, nd is the refractive index of each optical element at the d-line, and vd and θgf are the Abbe number and partial dispersion ratio between the g-line and the F-line of the optical element, respectively. The Abbe number vd and partial dispersion ratio θgf between the g-line and the F-line of a certain material can be expressed as follows. That is, let the g-line (wavelength 435.8 nm) be the Fraunhofer line. Furthermore, if the refractive indices at the d-line (wavelength 587.6 nm), F-line (wavelength 486.1 nm), and C-line (wavelength 656.3 nm) are Ng, Nd, NF, and NC, respectively, then vd = (Nd - 1) / (NF - NC) and θgf = (Ng - NF) / (NF - NC).

[0087] BF is the back focus.

[0088] If the optical surface is aspherical, a * symbol is added to the right of the surface number.
