We have designed a fisheye lens with a field of view of 190° and F# of 2.8 The diameter of the circular image plane is
designed to fit within the width of the image sensor plane, so that a 190° horizontal field of view can be obtained. It is
composed of 8 spherical lens elements and the overall length is 35mm from the first lens surface to the image sensor
plane. This fisheye lens operates simultaneously in the visible and the near infrared wavelength regions.
A brief discussion of lens design is given. The future of lens design is in computer programs that analytically solve equations for the best starting solution, which is preferred to global optimization techniques.
