Abstract

A collimator lens system has a single plano-convex lens and a plane parallel plate. An aspherical surface of the single plano-convex lens is convex to the magnification-larger-than-unity side. The collimator lens system fulfills the following conditions: ##EQU1## where n represents a refractive index of the single plano-convex lens, d represents an axial thickness of the single plano-convex lens, f represents a focal length of the single plano-convex lens and dg represents a thickness of the plane parallel plate.
