Ultra-wide angle lens design with relative illumination analysis
Abstract
An ultra-wide angle lens design with relative illumination analysis is presented. The half field angle of 80°, the relative illumination of the image plane will be reduced. It is necessary to increase the image numerical aperture ratio for X and Y direction, and decrease the angle between the chief ray and optical axis in the image space. However the ultra-wide angle lens induces great barrel distortion causing image extrusion. Therefore, we use F-theta distortion to replace optical distortion. Seven lenses and two pieces of flat glass are used for a sensor 1/6†sensor with 2.1 million pixels. The final result for the lens is a half viewing angle of 80°, F/2.4, a focal length 1.1 mm, a length of 22.37 mm, F-theta distortion of less than 2%, and relative illumination greater than 83%.
