DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The application is more comprehensively described below with reference to the drawings, and the embodiments are shown in the drawings. However, the present application may be implemented in many different ways and should not be construed as limited to the embodiment described herein. Instead, these embodiments are provided such that the application will be exhaustive and complete, and will fully communicate the scope of the application to those skilled in the art. The same attached drawing marks throughout indicate the same components. Furthermore, in the drawings, the thickness, ratio and size of the components are enlarged to clearly illustrate.


The term used herein is used only for the purpose of describing the specific embodiment and is not intended to be a limitation. The “one”, “a single”, “the”, “this”, “one” and “at least” used in this application do not represent a limitation on quantity, but are intended to include both singular and plural. For example, “one part” has the same meaning as “at least one part” unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. “At least one” should not be interpreted as limiting to the quantity “one”. “Or” means “and/or”. The term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.


Unless otherwise limited, all terms used herein, including technical and scientific terms, have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the field. The terms defined in a jointly used dictionary shall be construed to have the same meaning as those defined in the relevant technical context, and are not interpreted in an idealized or too formal meaning, unless clearly defined in the specification.


The meaning of “include” or “comprise” specifies the nature, quantity, steps, operation, parts, parts, or combinations thereof, but does not exclude other nature, quantity, steps, operation, parts, parts, or a combination of them.


This application describes the implementation with a reference to the section diagram as an idealized embodiment. Thus, relative to illustrated shape changes as a result of, for example, manufacturing technique and/or tolerance. Therefore, the embodiments described herein should not be interpreted to be limited to specific shapes of the region as shown herein, but should include deviations from shapes due to fabrication. For example, regions shown or described as flat may typically have coarse and/or non-linear characteristics. Also, the sharp angles shown can be rounded. Thus, the regions shown in the figure are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to show the precise shape of the area and are not intended to limit the scope of the claim.


One embodiment according to the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings below.


In the proceeding of miniaturization of an optical system, it is difficult for the optical system including a traditional plastic lens to make breakthroughs in thickness and large curvature due to the limitation of injection molding technology. Thus, the thickness, intervals between the lenses, and TTL for the optical system with five lenses are difficult to break through. On the other hand, there are only about ten optional materials for plastic lenses, which limits the freedom of the aberration correction of the optical system. At present, although the hybrid lens of glass resin solves problems such as chromatic aberration to a certain extent, the injection molding process still greatly hinders the miniaturization and lightweight of the optical system. Today, the optical system requires an enormous effort even for every 1 millimeter of total track length reduction of the optical system.


In the first aspect, a hybrid lens is provided in the present application, as shown in FIG. 1, the hybrid lens includes a first lens and a second lens in order from an object side to an image side; wherein, the first lens is a refractive lens with a positive focal length; the second lens is a metalens; each of the first lens and the second lens comprises an object-side surface facing towards the object plane and an image-side surface facing towards the image plane; both the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the first lens are aspheric surfaces; the first lens and the second lens further satisfy the conditions:

In the conditions (1-1)-(1-3), t12 is a distance between the first lens and the second lens; f1 is a focal length of the first lens; f2 is a focal length of the second lens; R1i is a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the first lens; R1o is a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the first lens. It should be noted that the distance t12 may be less than a reference value. Optionally, when the hybrid lens is applied to consumer electronic devices, t12 may be less than 0.5 mm.


Firstly, the hybrid lens is able to reduce the difficulty of wavefront aberration correction for the lenses behind the hybrid lens by combining the aspheric lens and the metalens when the hybrid lens works in a lens group that has more than 4 lenses. Secondly, if the second lens is another kind of lens except the metalens, the second lens 20 requires a higher-order surface structure such as multiple points of inflection to achieve a similar effect, but the existing manufacturing technology does not support such a complex design. Moreover, because the thickness of the metalens is significantly less than the thickness of the refractive lens, the TTL of the optical system will be reduced effectively.


According to the embodiment of the present application, the first lens may be made of an optical glass, such as crown glass, flint glass, quartz glass, etc., or various types of optical plastics, such as APL5514, OKP4HT, etc. Preferably, the first lens 10 may be made of an optical plastic. The first lens 10 uses optical plastic to achieve mass production of aspherical lenses at low cost by injection molding.


According to the embodiment of the present application, the focusing performance of the second lens 20 is less than the focusing performance of the first lens 10. The second lens 20 is used to correct the chromatic spherical aberration of the first lens 10, other monochromatic aberrations and the lateral chromatic aberration. Optionally, the absolute value of the ratio of the focal length of the second lens 20 to the focal length of the first lens 10 needs to be greater than 8.

When the metalens provided by the embodiment of the present application have at least two layers of the nanostructured layer 202, the filler material 2022 in the nanostructured layer 202 farthest from the substrate 201 may be air.


In some optional embodiments of the present application, as shown from FIG. 14 to FIG. 16, any layer of the nanostructured layer 202 includes an array arrangement of the nanostructured layer 202. The unit cell 203 is a dense packing pattern provided with the nanostructure 2021. The nanostructure 2021 may be set on the vertice or/and center of the dense packing pattern. In the embodiment of the present application, a dense packing pattern refers to one or more figures that can fill the entire plane without gaps or overlaps.

    • r is a distance between any center of nanostructure and the center of the metalens; λ is a working wavelength of the metalens; φ0(λ) is any phase corresponding to the working wavelength; (x, y) is the coordinates of the metalens (in some cases, it can be regarded as the coordinates of the surface of the substrate 201); fML is a focal length of the metalens (the second lens 20); ai and bi are real coefficients. It should be noted that the phase of the metalens can be expressed in high-degree polynomials, and high-degree polynomials include both odd and even polynomials. In order not to break the rotational symmetry of the phase of metalens, in general, the phase of the even-degree polynomials is only optimized, which greatly reduces the design degree of freedom of the metalens. From the formulas (3-1) to (3-8), formulas (3-4)-(3-6) are capable of satisfying the optimization of the phase of the odd-degree polynomial without breaking its rotational symmetry, and greatly increase the optimization degree of freedom of the metalens.





Optionally, the real phase of the second lens 20 provided by the present application can match with the ideal theoretical phase, that is, the matching degree of the wide spectrum of the metalens satisfies the formula (4) as follows:
