Infrared optical lens system
View Patent ↗Provided is an infrared optical lens system including: a first lens having negative refractive power; and a second lens having positive refractive power, wherein the first lens and the second lens are disposed in this order from an object side to an image side.
1. An infrared imaging optical lens system comprising:
a first lens having negative refractive power and being formed of a material comprising germanium; and
a second lens having positive refractive power and being formed of a material comprising germanium,
wherein the first lens and the second lens are disposed in this order from an object side to an image side,
wherein the total number of lenses of the infrared imaging optical lens system is two,
wherein lights incident on the first lens at specific angles are collected at a point of an image sensor,
wherein each of the first lens and the second lens has a convex surface facing the image side, and
wherein a back focal length of the infrared optical lens system is equal to or greater than 20 mm.
2. The infrared imaging optical lens system of claim 1 , wherein at least two aspheric surfaces are provided on at least one of the first lens and the second lens.
3. The infrared imaging optical lens system of claim 1 , wherein the first lens comprises at least one aspheric surface, and the second lens comprises at least one aspheric surface.
4. The infrared imaging optical lens system of claim 1 , wherein the first lens comprises one aspheric surface, and the second lens comprises one aspheric surface.
5. The infrared imaging optical lens system of claim 4 , wherein a surface of the first lens facing the image side and a surface of the second lens facing the object side are aspheric surfaces.
6. The infrared imaging optical lens system of claim 1 , wherein the infrared imaging optical lens system includes only one aspheric surface provided on one of the first lens or the second lens.
