    DETAILED DESCRIPTION

    [0060] FIG. 2A shows an example of a “2-group” (or “2G”) pop-out optical lens system 200 that comprises a pop-out lens 202 and an image sensor 204 disclosed herein. Pop-out optical lens system 200 is shown in a pop-out or extended state (i.e. focused to infinity). Pop-out lens 202 is divided into two lens groups which are separated by a big gap (BG), a first, object-sided lens group (“G1”) and a second, sensor-sided lens group (“G2”). The thickness of G1 is indicated by T.sub.G1. Lens 202 includes a plurality of N lens elements Li (wherein “i” is an integer between 1 and N and wherein N may be for example between 5 and 9). L1 is the lens element closest to the object side and LN is the lens element closest to the image side, i.e. the side where the image sensor is located. This order holds for all lenses and lens elements disclosed herein. Each lens element Li comprises a respective front surface S2i-1 (the index “2i-1” being the number of the front surface) and a respective rear surface S2i (the index “2i” being the number of the rear surface). This numbering convention is used throughout the description. Alternatively, as done throughout this description, lens surfaces are marked as “Sk”, with k running from 1 to 2N. The front surface and the rear surface may be in some cases aspherical. This is however not limiting.

    [0061] As used herein the term “front surface” of each lens element refers to the surface of a lens element located closer to the entrance of the camera (camera object side) and the term “rear surface” refers to the surface of a lens element located closer to the image sensor (camera image side).

    [0062] Each lens group includes one or more lens elements Li. G1 may include ≥5 elements and G2 may include 1-2 elements. G2 may act as a field lens as known in the art.

    [0063] FIG. 2B shows 2G pop-out optical lens system 200 in a collapsed state. Big gap BG is collapsed to a collapsed BG (marked “c-BG”), i.e. a distance between G1 and G2 is reduced, resulting in a collapsed TTL (“c-TTL”). c-BG may be in the range 0.2 mm-5 mm. Only BG changes. No other distances in pop-out optical lens system 200, such as distances between lens elements included in G1 and G2 respectively, change.

    [0064] FIG. 2C shows an example of a “1-group” (or “1G”) pop-out optical lens system 250 that comprises a pop-out lens 252 having a thickness T.sub.Lens and an image sensor 254 disclosed herein. Pop-out optical lens system 250 is shown in a pop-out state. Pop-out lens 252 is not divided into two lens groups. FIG. 2D shows 1G pop-out optical lens system 250 in a collapsed state. BFL is collapsed to a collapsed BFL (marked “c-BFL”), i.e. the distance between lens 252 and image sensor 254 is reduced, resulting in a c-TTL. c-BFL may be in the range 0-3 mm. Only BFL changes. No other distances in pop-out optical lens system 250, such as distances between lens elements of lens 252, change.

    [0065] 2G pop-out optical lens system 200 and 1G pop-out optical lens system 250 can be included in a pop-out camera. For performing optical image stabilization (OIS), the pop-out camera may use several methods known in the art. Such methods may be “lens shift OIS”, wherein the lens is moved relative to the image sensor and a camera hosting mobile device for OIS, or “sensor shift OIS”, wherein the image sensor is moved relative to the lens and to a camera hosting mobile device for OIS.

    [0066] All pop-out optical lens systems disclosed herein can be used in the pop-out camera examples described in co-owned PCT patent application PCT/IB2020/058697.

    [0067] Wherein FIG. 2A shows 2G pop-out optical lens system 200 focused to infinity, FIG. 3A shows 2G pop-out optical lens system 200 focused to a closer object, e.g. focused to lm according to a first focusing method referred to as “G1-G2 focusing”. For G1-G2 focusing, G1 and G2 move by a focus stroke Δf.sub.G1-G2=T.sub.Focus−BG from a thickness given by BG to a thickness given by T.sub.Focus with respect to each other. BFL does not change, but BG changes. Values for BG and T.sub.Focus are given in Table 1 for all 2G lens systems disclosed herein. #BG indicates the surface that changes for G1-G2 focusing.

    [0068] FIG. 3B shows 2G pop-out optical lens system 200 focused to a closer object, e.g. focused to 1 m according to a second focusing method referred to as “lens focusing”. For lens focusing, G1 and G2 move together as one lens by Δf.sub.Lens with respect to the image sensor. BG does not change, but BFL changes. Lens focusing is the standard method used in state of the art digital cameras in mobile electronic devices.

    [0069] All 2G pop-out optical lens systems disclosed below can be both focused by G1-G2 focusing as well as by lens focusing. All 1G pop-out optical lens systems disclosed below are focused by lens focusing.

    [0070] All pop-out optical lens systems disclosed below are shown in a pop-out state, where a pop-out camera including the optical lens system is operational

    [0071] In a collapsed state, all 2G pop-out optical lens system examples have a c-BG of 0.2 mm-4.4 mm. In a collapsed state, all 1G pop-out optical lens systems examples have a c-BFL of 1.0 mm-2.5 mm. A small c-BG and c-BFL respectively is beneficial for achieving a slim camera module that can be integrated in a slim mobile device such as a smartphone. To clarify, all lens systems disclosed herein may beneficially be included or incorporated in smartphones.

    [0072] Table 1 shows the values and ranges that are included in lens system examples 400-1800 disclosed below (SD, TTL, c-TTL, BG, c-BG, EFL, TG1, T.sub.Focus, d.sub.L1-L2, T.sub.Lens, f.sub.LS, f.sub.N−1 given in mm; Half-field-of-view (“HFOV”) and 35 mm equivalent focal length (“35 mm EqFL”) are given in degrees, Abbe number v, #L.sub.S and f number (“f/#”) are given without units, and powers are given in inverse meter [1/m]. c-TTL.sub.MIN and c-TTL.sub.MAX respectively refer to a minimum and maximum c-TTL that can be achieved in the respective example. In general, in Table 1, “MIN” and “MAX” refer respectively to minimum and maximum values in a range.

    [0073] “#L.sub.S” represents the number of the strongest lens element in a lens, i.e. the lens element with the smallest, positive focal length f. “f.sub.LS” represents the f of the strongest lens element in a lens. “f.sub.N−1” represents the f of the N−1.sup.th (i.e. the second to last) lens element in a lens. d.sub.L1-L2 represents a distance (or air gap) between L1 and L2.

    [0074] For 2G type lens systems, L.sub.M refers to the last lens element in G1. The index “L.sub.M-1+L.sub.M” refers to properties of the two last lens elements in G1 together. For example, in example 400 L.sub.M-1+L.sub.M refers to properties of L5 and L6 together, in example 1500 L.sub.M-1+L.sub.M refers to properties of L6 and L7 together, etc. For performing G1-G2 focusing, BG represents the thickness of surface “#BG” when focused to infinity. “T.sub.Focus” represents the thickness of surface “#BG” when focused to 1 m and 0.5 m respectively. The power of the entire G1 group is marked P.sub.G1, the power of the entire G2 group is marked P.sub.G2 and powers of individual lens elements are marked by the element number, i.e. the power of L1 is marked P.sub.1, the power of L2 is marked P.sub.2, etc. T.sub.G1 gives the thickness of G1.

    [0077] FIG. 4 shows an example of a 2G pop-out optical lens system disclosed herein and numbered 400. Lens system 400 comprises a pop-out lens 402 divided into two lens groups G1 and G2, an image sensor 404 and, optionally, an optical element 406. Optical element 406 may be for example infra-red (IR) filter, and/or a glass image sensor dust cover. Image sensor 404 may have a SD of 14.3 mm. G1 includes 6 lens elements and G2 includes one lens element. Optical rays pass through lens 402 and form an image on image sensor 404. FIG. 4 shows 3 fields with 3 rays for each: the upper marginal-ray, the lower marginal-ray and the chief-ray. All further figures show these 3 rays as well.

    [0078] Detailed optical data and surface data for pop-out lens 402 are given in Tables 2-3. Table 2 provides surface types and Table 3 provides aspheric coefficients. The surface types are: [0079] a) Plano: flat surfaces, no curvature. [0080] b) Q type 1 (QT1) surface sag formula:

    where {z, r} are the standard cylindrical polar coordinates, c is the paraxial curvature of the surface, k is the conic parameter, r.sub.norm is generally one half of the surface's clear aperture (CA), and A.sub.n are the aspheric coefficients shown in lens data tables. The Z axis is positive towards the image side. Values for CA are given as a clear aperture radius, i.e. D/2. The reference wavelength is 555.0 nm. Units are in mm except for refractive index (“Index”) and Abbe #. Each lens element Li has a respective focal length fi, given in Table 2. The FOV is given as half FOV (HFOV). The definitions for surface types, Z axis, CA values, reference wavelength, units, focal length and HFOV are valid for all following Tables.

    The deflection point of L1 is located at a distance of 1.884 mm measured from the optical axis (“OA”) at the rear surface. The magnitudes of the focal lengths of L.sub.1 (|f.sub.1|) and of L.sub.6 (|f.sub.6|) are similar, i.e. their magnitude may differ by <30%. The magnitudes |f.sub.1| and |f.sub.6| are pairwise much smaller than the magnitudes of all the focal lengths of the single lens elements L.sub.2, L.sub.3, L.sub.4 and L.sub.5, i.e. |f.sub.1|, |f.sub.6|<<|f.sub.2|, |f.sub.3|, |f.sub.4|, |f.sub.5.|. For example |f.sub.2|, |f.sub.3|, |f.sub.4|, |f.sub.5| may be greater than |f.sub.1|, |f.sub.6| by more than 45%. The ratio between the power of L1 (P.sub.1) and P.sub.G1 fulfills P.sub.1/P.sub.G1=0.89. Specifically, Table 4 shows ratios |fi/f.sub.1| and |fi/f.sub.6| and ratios between each P.sub.i and P.sub.G1.

    The power sequence for lens element from L1 to L7 is as follows: +−−+−+− (plus-minus-minus-plus-minus-plus-minus). Specifically, lens powers P.sub.i for lens element from L1 to L7 are given in Table 7. L1, L2 and L4 are each formed meniscus with respect to the object side. L5 and L6 are each formed meniscus with respect to the image side. |f.sub.4| is much smaller than the |f| of all the focal lengths of the single lens elements L.sub.1, L.sub.2, and L.sub.3. That is, |f.sub.4|<<|f.sub.1|, |f.sub.2|, |f.sub.3|. For example, |f.sub.1|, |f.sub.2|, |f.sub.3| may be greater than |f.sub.4| by more than 50%. L4 is made of glass, with a refractive index n>1.7. P.sub.G1 and P.sub.3 are similar, i.e. P.sub.G1/P.sub.3 does not vary by more than 10% from 1. Specifically, Table 7 shows powers P.sub.i, ratios |f/f.sub.4|, and ratios between each P.sub.i and P.sub.G1

    [0093] A thickness profile (the thickness being measured along the z-axis) of L5 taken along the y-axis and starting from lens 1602's OA has a local maximum at the OA and a local minimum, wherein the location of the local minimum is not at L5's margin (or border), i.e. the local minimum is located at a distance smaller than DA/2 from the OA. A thickness profile of L6 taken as see above for L5 has a local minimum at the OA and a local maximum, wherein the location of the local maximum is not at L6's margin. This property of L5 and L6 respectively is beneficial for achieving a lens with low Field curvature. The power sequence for lens elements L1 to L6 is plus-minus-plus-plus-plus-minus. L2 is a strong negative lens, its magnitude |f2| fulfils |f2|/EFL<1.5.

    [0095] L1 and L2 as well as L3 and L4 have a uniform distance to each other. For all values between OA and DA/2 along the y-axis, the average of the distance between L1 and L2 (“μ.sub.L1-L2”) and L3 and L4 (“μ.sub.L3-L4”) respectively measured along the z-axis is μ.sub.dL1-L2=0.06 mm and μ.sub.dL3-L4=0.39 mm, the standard deviation of the average being σ.sub.dL1-L2=0.02 mm and σ.sub.dL3-L4=0.07 mm. Ratios of σ and μ are σ.sub.dL1-L2/μ.sub.L1-L2=0.36 and σ.sub.dL3-L4/μ.sub.dL3-L4=0.17 for L1, L2 and L3, L4 respectively. Ratios of the distance at the OA between L1 and L2 (“d.sub.L1-L2”) and L3 and L4 (“d.sub.L3-L4”) respectively and T.sub.Lens are d.sub.L1-L2/T.sub.Lens=1.03% and d.sub.L3-L4/T.sub.Lens=5.2%. L1 and L2 are very close to each other and resemble a doublet lens.

    [0096] FIG. 18 shows another example of a 1G pop-out optical lens system disclosed herein and numbered 1800. Lens system 1800 comprises a pop-out lens 1802, an image sensor 1804 and, optionally, an optical element 1806. Image sensor 1804 may have a SD of 16.0 mm. Table 42 provides surface types and Table 43 provides aspheric coefficients.

    [0097] The power sequence for lens elements L1 to L7 is minus-plus-plus-minus-minus-plus-minus. L6 has a deflection point that is not located at the OA, what is beneficial for achieving a lens with low Field curvature. A thickness profile of L6 taken along the y-axis and starting from lens 1802's OA has a local maximum at the OA and a local minimum, wherein the location of the local minimum is not at L6's margin. This is beneficial for achieving low Field curvature. All the surfaces of L1-L5 are convex. The signs of the sequence of fi's for lens elements L1 to L8 is minus-minus-plus-minus-minus-plus-plus-minus.

    [0098] L1 and L2, L2 and L3 as well as L3 and L4 have a uniform distance to each other. For all values between OA and DA/2 along the y-axis, average distances are μ.sub.dL1-L2=0.10 mm, μ.sub.dL2-L3=0.17 mm and σ.sub.dL3-L4=0.15 mm, the standard deviation of the average being σ.sub.dL1-L2=0.09 mm, σ.sub.dL2-L3=0.07 mm and σ.sub.dL3-L4=0.02 mm. Ratios of the standard deviation and the average distances are σ.sub.dL1-L2/μ.sub.L1-L2=0.88, σ.sub.dL2-L3/μ.sub.L2-L3=0.43 and σ.sub.dL3-L4/μ.sub.L3-L4=0.02 for L1, L2 and L2, L3 and L3, L4 respectively. Ratios of OA distances d.sub.L1-L2=0.07 mm, d.sub.L2-L3=0.12 mm and d.sub.L3-L4=0.12 mm and T.sub.Lens are d.sub.L1-L2/T.sub.Lens=0.93%, d.sub.L2-L3/T.sub.Lens=1.56% and d.sub.L3-L4/T.sub.Lens=1.47% respectively.
