DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross sectional diagram that illustrates the lens configuration of an imaging lens according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The example of the configuration illustrated in FIG. 1 corresponds to the configuration of an imaging lens of Example 1 to be described later. In FIG. 1, the left side is the object side, and the right side is the image side. The aperture stop St illustrated in FIG. 1 does not necessarily represent the size and/or the shape thereof, but the position of the stop along an optical axis Z. In addition, FIG. 1 also illustrates the optical paths of an axial light beam wa and a light beam wb at a maximum angle of view.


As illustrated in FIG. 1, the imaging lens 1 is constituted by, in order from the object side to the image side, a first lens group G1, the aperture stop St, and a second lens group G2 having a positive refractive power. The incident angle of off axis light beams with respect to an image formation plane Sim can be suppressed, by adopting such a configuration.


The first lens group G1 is constituted by, in order from the object side to the image side: one or two negative meniscus lenses having a concave surface toward the image side, a biconcave lens, and a biconvex lens.


By positioning the negative meniscus lens most toward the object side, the angle of off axis light rays that enter the lens groups more toward the image side than the negative meniscus lens can be reduced. In addition, the negative meniscus shape having the concave surface toward the image side can suppress the generation of distortion. In the case that two negative meniscus lenses are provided consecutively, such a configuration is more advantageous from the viewpoint of correcting distortion. Note that there is a tendency for the radii of negative meniscus lenses to increase if three or more negative meniscus lenses are provided consecutively. Therefore, it is advantageous to maintain the number of negative meniscus lenses to two or fewer, from the viewpoint of decreasing the radius of the lens.


In addition, a positive lens is not positioned between the negative meniscus lens and the biconcave lens. Therefore, it is not necessary to impart excessively strong refractive powers to the negative meniscus lenses. As a result, the generation of off axis higher order aberrations can be suppressed, and this configuration is also advantageous from the viewpoint of widening the angle of view.


In addition, the biconcave lens exhibits the effects of suppressing the generation of excessively corrected spherical aberration and imparting negative refractive power. Such a configuration is advantageous from the viewpoints of widening the angle of view and securing back focus.


In addition, the biconvex lens exhibits the effects of correcting distortion and lateral chromatic aberration, while decreasing the incident angles of marginal axial light rays that enter the second lens group G2, to suppress the generation of spherical aberration.


Note that FIG. 1 illustrates an example in which the first lens group G1 is constituted by: a negative meniscus lens L11, a negative meniscus lens L12, a biconcave lens L13, and a biconvex lens L14.


The second lens group G2 is constituted by, in order from the object side to the image side, a 2A lens group G2A having a positive refractive power as a whole, consisting of a 2-1 positive lens L21, a 2-2 negative lens L22, and a 2-3 positive lens L23, and a 2B lens group G2B having a positive refractive power as a whole, consisting of a 2-4 positive lens L24, a 2-5 negative lens L25, and a 2-6 positive lens L26.


By dividing the second lens group G2 into two lens groups having positive refractive powers, which are the 2A lens group G2A and the 2B lens group G2B, the generation of spherical aberration can be suppressed. In addition, by these lens groups being of a three lens configuration constituted by a positive lens, a negative lens, and a positive lens, various aberrations which are generated within each of the lens groups, such as longitudinal chromatic aberration, lateral chromatic aberration, spherical aberration, and astigmatism, can be favorably corrected.


Further, the imaging lens is configured such that Conditional Formula (1) is satisfied. By configuring the imaging lens such that the value of f2B/f2A is not less than or equal to the lower limit defined in Conditional Formula (1), positive refractive power is appropriately distributed between the 2A lens group G2A and the 2B lens group G2B. As a result, the generation of spherical aberration and astigmatism can be suppressed. By configuring the imaging lens such that the value of f2B/f2A is not greater than or equal to the upper limit defined in Conditional Formula (1), the incident angle of off axis light rays with respect to the image formation plane Sim can be suppressed. Note that more favorable properties can be obtained if Conditional Formula (1-1) is satisfied.





0.5<f2B/f2A<2  (1)





0.7<f2B/f2A<1.8  (1-1)


wherein f2B is the focal length of the 2B lens group, and f2A is the focal length of the 2A lens group.


In the imaging lens of the present embodiment, it is preferable for the 2-3 positive lens L23 to be a positive lens having a convex surface toward the image side, and for the 2-4 positive lens L24 to be a positive lens having a convex surface toward the object side. In this manner, by an air lens between the 2-3 positive lens L23 and the 2-4 positive lens L24 having positive refractive power and by the surface toward the object side of the 2-4 positive lens L24 being a convex surface, the heights of light rays at peripheral angles of view that enter the 2-4 positive lens L24 will increase, and the influence of positive refractive power will become stronger. As a result, the angles at which light rays at peripheral angles of view enter the image formation plane Sim can be decreased.


In addition, it is preferable for the 2-2 negative lens L22 and the 2-3 positive lens L23 to be cemented together, and for the shape of the coupling surface between the two to be convex toward the object side. This configuration enables the generation of astigmatism to be suppressed and is advantageous from the viewpoint of correcting lateral chromatic aberration.


In addition, it is preferable for the 2-5 negative lens L25 and the 2-6 positive lens L26 to be cemented together, and for the shape of the coupling surface between the two to be convex toward the object side. This configuration enables the generation of astigmatism to be suppressed and is advantageous from the viewpoint of correcting lateral chromatic aberration.


In addition, it is preferable for Conditional Formula (2) below to be satisfied. By configuring the imaging lens such that the value of β2B is not less than or equal to the lower limit defined in Conditional Formula (2), and by the transverse magnification of the 2B lens group G2B being a positive magnification, the burden of the 2B lens group G2B with respect to bearing refractive power can be decreased, and therefore the generation of spherical aberration at the 2B lens group G2B can be suppressed. In addition, the 2B lens group G2B is further from the aperture stop St than the 2A lens group G2A, and the heights of off axis light rays that enter the 2B lens group G2B are higher. Therefore, various off axis aberrations can be controlled during design of the imaging lens. At this time, that the burden of spherical aberration is small means that achieving balance between off axis and axial aberrations is facilitated. By configuring the imaging lens such that the value of β2B is not greater than or equal to the upper limit defined in Conditional Formula (2), the burden of the 2A lens group G2A with respect to bearing refractive power can be decreased, and therefore the generation of spherical aberration can be suppressed. Note that more favorable properties can be obtained if Conditional Formula (2-1) is satisfied.





0<β2B<0.95  (2)





0.2<β2B<0.8  (2-1)


wherein β2B is the transverse magnification of the 2B lens group.


In addition, it is preferable for Conditional Formula (3) below to be satisfied. By configuring the imaging lens such that the value of f2/f1 is not less than or equal to the lower limit defined in Conditional Formula (3), the generation of spherical aberration at the second lens group G2 can be suppressed. Configuring the imaging lens such that the value of f2/f1 is not greater than or equal to the upper limit defined in Conditional Formula (3) is advantageous from the viewpoint of widening the angle of view, and also enables back focus to be secured. Note that more favorable properties can be obtained if Conditional Formula (3-1) is satisfied.





−1<f2/f1<0.5  (3)





−0.8<f2/f1<0.3  (3-1)


wherein f2 is the focal length of the second lens group, and f1 is the focal length of the first lens group.


In addition, it is preferable for Conditional Formula (4) below to be satisfied. By configuring the imaging lens such that the value of (L24f+L23r)/(L24f−L23r) is not less than or equal to the lower limit defined in Conditional Formula (4), the generation of astigmatism and distortion can be suppressed. By configuring the imaging lens such that the value of (L24f+L23r)/(L24f−L23r) is not greater than or equal to the upper limit defined in Conditional Formula (4), the incident angles of off axis light rays with respect to the image formation plane Sim can be suppressed. Note that more favorable properties can be obtained if Conditional Formula (4-1) is satisfied.





0<(L24f+L23r)/(L24f−L23r)<0.5  (4)





0<(L24f+L23r)/(L24f−L23r)<0.4  (4-1)


wherein L24f is the radius of curvature of the surface toward the object side of the 2-4 positive lens, and L23r is the radius of curvature of the surface toward the image side of the 2-3 positive lens.


It is preferable for a protective multiple layer film coating to be administered in the case that the present imaging lens is to be utilized in extreme environments. Further, an antireflection coating may be administered in addition to the protective coating, in order to reduce ghost light and the like during utilization of the imaging lens.


In addition, in the case that this imaging lens is applied to an imaging apparatus, a cover glass, prisms, and/or various filters, such as an infrared cutoff filter and a low pass filter, may be provided between the lens system and the image formation plane Sim, depending on the configuration of the imaging apparatus. Note that these filters may be provided among the lenses instead of being provided between the lens system and the image formation plane Sim. As a further alternative, coatings that exhibit the same effects as these filters may be administered on the lens surfaces of the lenses.


Next, examples of numerical values of the imaging lens of the present disclosure will be described.


First, an imaging lens of Example 1 will be described. FIG. 1 is a cross sectional diagram that illustrates the lens configuration of the imaging lens of Example 1. Note that in FIG. 1 and FIGS. 2 through 9 that correspond to Examples 2 through 9 to be described later, the left side is the object side, the right side is the image side, and the aperture stops St illustrated therein do not necessarily represent the sizes and shapes thereof, but only the positions thereof along the optical axis Z.


Basic lens data are shown in Table 1, data related to various items are shown in Table 2, and data related to aspherical surface coefficients are shown in Table 3 for the imaging lens of Example 1. The meanings of the symbols in the tables will be described below with those for Example 1 as an example. However, the meanings of the symbols are basically the same for Examples 2 through 9.


In the lens data of Table 1, surface numbers that sequentially increase from the object side to the image side, with the surface toward the object side of the constituent element at the most object side designated as first, are shown in the column Surface Number. The radii of curvature of each surface are shown in the column Radius of Curvature. The distances between each surface and a next surface are shown in the column Distance. The refractive indices with respect to the d line (wavelength: 587.6 nm) of each optical element are shown in the column Nd. The Abbe's numbers with respect to the d line (wavelength: 587.6 nm) of each optical element are shown in the column νd. The partial dispersion ratios of each optical element are shown in the column θgF.


Note the partial dispersion ratio (θgF) is represented by the formula below.





θgF=(ng−nF)/(nF−nC)


wherein ng is the refractive index with respect to the g line, nF is the refractive index with respect to the F line, and nC is the refractive index with respect to the C line.


Here, the signs of the radii of curvature are positive in cases that the surface shape is convex toward the object side, and negative in cases that the surface shape is convex toward the image side. Table 1 also shows data regarding the aperture stop St. Text reading “(stop)” is indicated along with a surface number in the column of the surface number at the surface corresponding to the aperture stop.


The values of the focal length f′ of the entire lens system, the back focus Bf′, the F number F No., and the full angle of view 2ω are shown as data related to various items in Table 2.


In the data shown in each of the tables below, degrees are used as the units for angles and mm are used as the units for lengths. However, it is possible for optical systems to be proportionately enlarged or proportionately reduced and utilized. Therefore, other appropriate units may be used.


In the lens data of Table 1, the surface numbers of aspherical surfaces are appended with the mark “*”, and numerical values that represent paraxial radii of curvature are shown as the radii of curvature of the aspherical surfaces. Table 3 shows aspherical surface coefficients related to these aspherical surfaces. In Table 3, “E±n” (n is an integer) means that the numerical values are multiplied by 10±n. The aspherical surface coefficients are the values of the coefficients KA and Am (m=3-12) in the aspherical surface formula below.

The diagram that illustrates spherical aberration shows aberrations related to the d line (wavelength: 587.6 nm), the C line (wavelength: 656.3 nm), the F line (wavelength: 486.1 nm), and the g line (wavelength: 435.8 nm) as a solid line, a long broken line, a short broken line, and a gray solid line, respectively. In the diagram that illustrates astigmatism, aberrations in the sagittal direction and aberrations in the tangential direction are indicated by a solid line and a dotted line, respectively. In the diagram that illustrates lateral chromatic diagram, aberrations related to the C line (wavelength: 656.3 nm), the F line (wavelength: 486.1 nm), and the g line (wavelength: 435.8 nm) are shown as a long broken line, a dotted line, and a gray solid line, respectively. In the diagram that illustrates spherical aberration, “FNo.” denotes the F number. In the other diagrams that illustrate the aberrations, ω denotes half angles of view.


The symbols, the meanings, and the manners in which the various pieces of data are described in the description of Example 1 above are the same for the examples to be described below unless otherwise noted. Therefore, redundant descriptions will be omitted hereinafter.


Next, an imaging lens of Example 2 will be described. FIG. 2 is a cross sectional diagram that illustrates the lens configuration of the imaging lens of Example 2. Basic lens data are shown in Table 4, data related to various items are shown in Table 5, and aspherical surface coefficients are shown in Table 6 for the imaging lens of Example 2. In addition, FIG. 11 is a collection of diagrams that illustrate various aberrations of the imaging lens of Example 2.
