Abstract

In a biconvex lens 1, at least one of faces thereof is formed into an aspherical shape, so that the radius of curvature of the second face of the lens 1 is equal to or larger than 0.65 times the focal length, and the radius of curvature of the first face is over 3 times the radius of curvature of the second face. Thus, the lens can be produced easily at a small size and a light weight.
