Abstract
Provided is a projection optical system that is a monofocal lens or a zoom lens that includes a first and a second optical system. The second optical system forms an intermediate image and the first optical system enlarges and projects the intermediate image. The first optical system includes a first-A optical system and a first-B optical system and includes a reflecting optical element. In response to the monofocal lens or the zoom lens, conditional formulas (1) and (2) are satisfied in an infinity in-focus state, 0.18<Ta/Tw<0.4 . . . (1), 1<fa/|fw|<15 . . . (2). In the conditional formulas (1) and (2), Ta is an on-axis distance in the first-A optical system, Tw is an on-axis distance in the projection optical system, fa is a focal length of the first-A optical system, and fw is a focal length of an entirety of the projection optical system.
