The lens comprises a first lens, a second lens, a third lens and a fourth lens which are sequentially arranged from the object side to the image side, the focal power of the four lenses is negative-positive-negative-positive, the first lens is a double-
meniscus negative lens with the convex face facing the object side, the second lens is a double-
meniscus negative lens with the convex face facing the image side, and the fourth lens is a double-
meniscus negative lens with the convex face facing the image side. One of the surfaces is an aspheric surface; the second lens is a biconvex positive lens of which the convex surface faces the object side; the third lens is a double-meniscus negative lens of which the convex surface faces the object side, and one surface of the third lens is an aspheric surface; the fourth lens is a double-meniscus positive lens with a convex surface facing the object side, and one surface of the fourth lens is a
diffraction surface. According to the invention, a four-piece structure with negative-positive-negative-positive focal power is adopted, and particularly, the negative lens is placed at the foremost part, so that the effective aperture of the first lens can be effectively compressed, the
field angle can be enlarged, the rear working distance of the lens can be increased, various aberrations can be corrected, and high-performance passive
athermalization of the lens can be realized; and then the design of an aspheric surface, a
diffraction surface and the like is coupled, so that the functions of
large target surface,
high resolution, large relative aperture and wide temperature range imaging clearness can be realized, and the imaging requirement of a large-pixel-scale medium-wave
refrigeration detector can be met.
