Optical system for an infrared ray

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide an optical system for an infrared ray which can provide a bright image, and can be applied to fixed focal length lenses among wide-angle to medium-telephoto. To achieve the object, the optical system for an infrared ray is constituted by a first lens having negative refractive power and a second lens having positive refractive power, these are arranged sequentially from an object side, wherein both the first lens and the second lens are made of an infrared transmitting material that transmits a light beam in an infrared wavelength range of 3 micron-meters or more to 14 micron-meters or less, and at least one of the lenses is made of an infrared transmitting material excluding germanium.
