Asymmetric aberration correcting lens

摘要

An asymmetric aberration correcting lens is described. In one or more implementations, a lens includes multiple lens elements that are configured to focus an image from an imaging component. The multiple lens elements include an optical lens element that is configured to redirect the image so that the image passes through the lens. Further, the multiple lens elements include an asymmetric element configured to correct asymmetric aberration caused by the imaging component.

1. A lens comprising:
multiple lens elements configured to focus an image from an asymmetric imaging component, the multiple lens elements including:
at least one optical lens element configured to redirect the image so that the image passes through the lens; andat least one asymmetric lens element configured to at least partially correct aberration in the image caused by the asymmetric imaging component, the at least one asymmetric lens element configured to at least partially remove the aberration from the image without reducing a size of an aperture of the lens and without tilting the lens relative to an axis that runs substantially through center portions of said asymmetric lens element.
