Design, Analysis, and Manufacturing of a High-Performance Glass-Plastic Hybrid Minimalist Aspheric Panoramic Annular Lens

A high-performance glass-plastic hybrid minimalist aspheric panoramic annular lens (ASPAL) is proposed to solve the limitations of traditional panoramic annular lenses, such as large size, high weight, and complex system, while achieving a wide field of view and high imaging quality close to the diffraction limit.
