Optionally, the optical imaging system may further include a protective glass for protecting the photosensitive element located on the imaging surface.

The optical imaging system according to the above-described embodiments of the present application may employ a plurality of lenses, such as the four lenses described above. By reasonably distributing the focal power, the surface shape, the center thickness of each lens, the axial spacing between each lens and the like, the volume of the imaging system can be effectively reduced, the sensitivity of the imaging system can be reduced, and the processability of the imaging system can be improved, so that the optical imaging system is more beneficial to production and processing and can be suitable for portable electronic products. Meanwhile, the optical imaging system configured as described above also has advantageous effects such as a large aperture, high imaging quality, low sensitivity, imaging based on infrared bands, and the like.

In an embodiment of the present application, at least one of the mirrors of each lens is an aspherical mirror. The aspherical lens is characterized in that: the curvature varies continuously from the center of the lens to the periphery of the lens. Unlike a spherical lens having a constant curvature from the center of the lens to the periphery of the lens, an aspherical lens has a better radius of curvature characteristic, and has advantages of improving distortion aberration and improving astigmatic aberration. By adopting the aspherical lens, aberration occurring at the time of imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, thereby improving imaging quality.

However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the number of lenses making up an optical imaging system may be varied to achieve the various results and advantages described in this specification without departing from the technical solutions claimed herein. For example, although four lenses are described as an example in the embodiment, the optical imaging system is not limited to include four lenses. The optical imaging system may also include other numbers of lenses, if desired.
