We present a compact dual-view endoscope imaging system with a field of view (FOV) of ±80° and F/# of 3.4. The endoscope consists of two optical configurations for increasing FOV within the volume constraint. The front view configuration is a fisheye lens with a FOV of ±55°, and the side view configuration is a panoramic annular lens that covers the remaining FOV. The two configurations are combined by a hybrid lens that consists of center refractive portion and side catadioptric portion. Both the front and rear surfaces of the hybrid lens are aspherized with the use of annularly stitched Q-type aspheres. Thus, a compact endoscope is successfully implemented with fewer lenses, with a total length of 11.5 mm and a maximum diameter of 5.5 mm. The modulation transfer function at 167 lp/mm is above 0.4 over the entire FOV. The relative illumination is more than 0.65 and the optical distortion is within 10%. Moreover, the near telecentric condition is fulfilled and supports constant magnification focusing.
