Abstract

An optical system includes a diaphragm, and a first cemented lens disposed adjacent to an object side of the diaphragm. The first cemented lens included a negative lens. A predetermined condition is satisfied.

Claims (29)

1. An optical system comprising:

a diaphragm; and

a first cemented lens disposed adjacent to an object side of the diaphragm,

wherein the first cemented lens includes a negative lens, and

wherein the following inequality is satisfied:

1.5< D 1/ D 0<15.0

where D 0 is an effective diameter of the negative lens, and D 1 is an outer diameter of the negative lens.

2. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the first cemented lens consists of two or three lenses.

3. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the first cemented lens has a negative refractive power.

4. The optical system according to claim 1 , further comprising a second cemented lens disposed adjacent to an image side of the diaphragm.

5. The optical system according to claim 4 , wherein the second cemented lens includes a negative lens, and

wherein the negative lens of the second cemented lens satisfies the inequality.

6. The optical system according to claim 4 , wherein the second cemented lens consists of two or three lenses.

7. The optical system according to claim 4 , wherein the second cemented lens has a positive refractive power.

8. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the negative lens is a negative lens having the smallest effective diameter among negative lenses constituting the optical system.

9. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the following inequality is satisfied:

1.05≤ D 2max/ D 1≤1.30

where D 2 max is an outer diameter of a lens having the largest outer diameter among lenses constituting the optical system.

10. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the following inequality is satisfied:

0.80≤ D max/ D 1≤1.20

where Dmax is an effective diameter of a lens with the largest outer diameter among lenses constituting the optical system.

11. An image pickup apparatus comprising:

the optical system accordingly to claim 1 ; and

an image sensor configured to capture an object via the optical system.

12. An in-vehicle system comprising:

the image pickup apparatus according to claim 11 ; and

a processor configured to determine a likelihood of collision between a vehicle and an object based on distance information on the object acquired by the image pickup apparatus.

13. A moving apparatus comprising the image pickup apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein the moving apparatus can be moved while holding the image pickup apparatus.
