Abstract

An optical lens includes a first lens group with negative refractive power, a second lens group with positive refractive power, and an aperture stop disposed between the first lens group and the second lens group. A number of lenses with refractive power of the first lens group is smaller than three, and a number of lenses with refractive power of the second lens group is smaller than five. The second lens group has a lens with a diffractive optical surface, and the lens with a diffractive optical surface satisfies the condition: 0<|(Φd*V)/Φr|<2, where Φd denotes refractive power of the diffractive optical surface, Φr denotes refractive power of the lens, and V denotes an Abbe number of the lens with a diffractive optical surface.
