Abstract

An optical imaging system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first lens, a second lens, and a third lens, sequentially arranged from an object side. In the optical imaging system according to the present embodiment, an air gap between the first lens and the second lens is greater than an air gap between the second lens and the third lens. In addition, in the optical imaging system according to the present embodiment, the first lens is formed of a glass material, and a length of the first lens in a first direction, intersecting an optical axis, is different from a length of the first lens in a second direction intersecting the optical axis.
