Abstract

An optical system includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first unit and a second unit. The first unit includes a first substrate, and a first lens having a negative refractive power and disposed on the image side of the first substrate. The second unit includes a second substrate, and a second lens having a positive refractive power and disposed on the image side of the second substrate. An absolute value of the refractive power on an optical axis of the second lens is larger than that of the first lens. A surface on the image side of the first lens is an aspheric surface. In the aspheric surface of the first lens, a refractive power at an outermost peripheral portion of an effective area is smaller than a refractive power on the optical axis.
