Cemented optical element
A cemented optical element includes a convex lens and a concave lens. The convex lens has a first convex surface and a second convex surface that are rotationally symmetric with respect to an optical axis. The convex lens has an edge with a thickness of substantially zero. The concave lens has a concave surface bonded to the first convex surface of the convex lens. Preferably, the peripheral portion of the concave lens extends radially outwardly beyond the convex lens to the extent that it is located within an area surrounded by an extension zone of the second convex surface of the convex lens.
1. A cemented optical element comprising:
a convex lens having a first convex surface and a second convex surface that are rotationally symmetric with respect to an optical axis; and
a concave lens having a concave surface bonded to the first convex surface of the convex lens,
wherein the convex lens has an edge with a thickness of substantially zero.
2. The cemented optical element according to claim 1 , wherein the concave lens has a peripheral portion that extends radially outwardly beyond the convex lens, and the peripheral portion is located within an area surrounded by an extension zone of the second convex surface of the convex lens.
3. The cemented optical element according to claim 2 , wherein the peripheral portion of the concave lens has a surface on the side of the convex lens, and at least part of the surface is located on the extension zone of the second convex surface of the convex lens.
4. The cemented optical element according to claim 3 , wherein the convex lens side surface of the peripheral portion of the concave lens forms, together with the second convex surface of the convex lens, a continuous curved surface.
5. The cemented optical element according to claim 1 , wherein the concave lens has a thickness of 0.3 mm or less on the optical axis.
