    Abstract: The imaging lens consists of, in order from an object side, a first lens group, a stop, and a positive second lens group. The second lens group has a negative lens on a side closest to an object and has a single lens or a cemented lens having a positive refractive power on a side closest to an image. Predetermined conditional expressions relating to a back focus, an incidence angle of a principal light ray on the image plane, a maximum image height, a distance from a lens surface on the side closest to the object to a lens surface on the side closest to the image, a distance from an object side principal point of the second lens group to a stop, and a focal length of the second lens group are satisfied.

The first lens group G1 consists of a 1-1st negative meniscus lens L11 with its convex surface toward the object side, a 1-2nd negative lens L12 with its concave surface toward an image side, a 1-3rd positive lens L13 having a biconvex shape, a 1-4th negative meniscus lens L14 with its convex surface toward the object side, and a 1-5th positive lens L15 with its convex surface toward the object side, in order from the object side. Predetermined conditional expressions are satisfied which relate to a focal length of the whole system, a focal length of the first lens group G1, and a distance on an optical axis between the 1-4th negative meniscus lens L14 and the 1-5th positive lens L15.

    Abstract: Provided are an imaging apparatus and a method capable of capturing a high-quality multi spectral image. The imaging apparatus includes: an optical system that has three or more aperture regions at a pupil position or near the pupil position, each of the aperture regions being provided with a different combination of a polarizing filter and a bandpass filter such that the aperture region transmits light having a combination of a different polarization angle and a different wavelength range; an image sensor in which three or more types of pixels that receive light having different polarization angles are arranged two-dimensionally; and a processor that performs interference removal processing on a signal output from the image sensor and generates an image signal for each of the aperture regions. In a case where the optical system has three or more types of the polarizing filters and the polarizing filters are arranged in an order of the polarization angles, at least one of differences in the polarization angles of the adjacent polarizing filters is different from the others.
