CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION 
     This application claims the priority benefit of Taiwan application serial no. 110140059, filed on Oct. 28, 2021. The entirety of the above-mentioned patent application is hereby, incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this specification. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Technical Field 
     The disclosure relates to an optical device, and more particularly, to an optical lens. 
     Description of Related Art 
     With the increasing application of optical lenses, the configuration of the optical lenses in various intelligent assistance systems such as intelligent electronic products, in-vehicle devices, and identification systems is a major trend in future technological development. In order to meet different application requirements, the optical lenses with different characteristics have been further developed. 
     For example, in systems such as automatic driving or driving assistance, combined with sensors, radars, and machine vision technology, the changes in the environment outside the car may be sensed and analyzed. In terms of configuration, how to provide an appropriate optical lens for the light source and integrate the optical lens with related equipment is an issue to be solved. 
     SUMMARY 
     The disclosure provides an optical lens, which may maintain good optical performance under the condition of a smaller number of lenses and a shorter system length. 
     An optical lens according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes an aperture, a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, and a fourth lens sequentially in a direction. One of the first lens and the second lens has positive refracting power, and the other has negative refracting power. The third lens has refracting power, and is the lens with the largest diameter in the optical lens. The fourth lens has the refracting power. The optical lens meets a condition: a ratio of EFL to LT ranges between 0.45 and 0.65, where EFL is an effective focal length of the optical lens, and LT is a length of the optical lens on an optical axis. A ratio of an inner diameter of the aperture to a diameter of the third lens ranges between 0.3 and 0.5. The four lenses are made of glass. In addition, for light with a wavelength of 1315 nanometers (nm), a transmittance of the optical lens is greater than ninety percent. 
     An optical lens includes an aperture, a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, and a fourth lens sequentially along a direction. The four lenses are made of glass, and all have refracting power. One of the first lens and the second lens has positive refracting power, and the other has negative refracting power. A distance from the aperture to the first lens is greater than 7 mm. A ratio of an inner diameter of the aperture to a diameter of the third lens ranges between 0.3 and 0.5. In addition, for light with a wavelength of 1315 nm, a transmittance of the optical lens is greater than ninety percent. 
     Based on the above, the optical lens in the embodiments of the disclosure may still provide good optical performance when the number of the lenses is reduced and the system length is shortened by meeting the above component characteristics and configuration conditions. Therefore, the optical lens in the embodiments of the disclosure may have lower tolerance sensitivity, and the shorter system length may also facilitate the configuration of the optical lens. 
     In order for the aforementioned features and advantages of the disclosure to be more comprehensible embodiments accompanied with drawings are described in detail below.

However, in another embodiment, the fourth lens may have the negative refracting power according to design requirements, and still achieve certain optical performance. 
     In this embodiment, the number of lenses in the optical lens OL is four. In this embodiment, one of the first lens  1  and the second lens  2  has the positive refracting power, and the other has the negative refracting power. The third lens  3  has refracting power, and is the lens with a largest diameter in the optical lens OL. The fourth lens  4  has the refracting power. The first lens  1 , the second lens  2 , the third lens  3 , and the fourth lens  4  are all made of glass. In this embodiment, the aperture  0  is disposed on a magnification side of the first lens  1 . 
     In the first embodiment of the disclosure, EFL of the optical lens OL is 16.75 millimeters (mm), wherein EFL is an effective focal length of the optical lens OL. An F-number (F #) is 1.40. A field of view (FOV) is 30.8 degrees. TTL is 60.0 mm, wherein TTL is a distance from the aperture  0  to an imaging plane IP of the optical lens. A maximum image height is 4.4 mm. The above effective focal length is a focal length of the optical lens OL at the wavelength of 1315 nm, and the total system length is a distance from the aperture  0  to the imaging plane IP of the optical lens OL on an optical axis I. 
     The optical lens OL in this embodiment meets the following conditions. The F-number of the optical lens OL is greater than or equal to 1.4. The field of view (FOV) of the optical lens OL is between 50 degrees and 20 degrees. In an embodiment, the field of view (FOV) of the optical lens OL is between 50 degrees and 25 degrees. In another embodiment, the field of view (FOV) of the optical lens OL is between 50 degrees and 30 degrees. TTL of the optical lens OL ranges between 55 mm and 65 mm.

     Other detailed optical data of the optical lens OL in the first embodiment of the disclosure are shown in Table 1 below. The column of “spacing/thickness” lists distances between each of the surfaces, and the distances indicate a thickness of each of optical elements on the optical axis I, or the distance between each of the optical elements and the surface of the next optical element on the optical axis I.

The distortion aberration in  FIG.  2 B  shows that the distortion aberration of the first embodiment is maintained within a range of ±5%. In light of the above, in this embodiment, the optical performance is still good when the number of lenses is reduced to 4, and the system length is shortened to 60.0 mm. 
     Relevant optical values of the optical lens OL in this embodiment are listed in detail in Table 4 attached later. 
       FIG.  3    is a schematic view of an optical lens according to the second embodiment of the disclosure.  FIGS.  4 A and  4 B  are views of various aberrations of the optical lens in the second embodiment. Referring to  FIG.  3    first, the second embodiment of the optical lens OL of the disclosure is substantially similar to the first embodiment. A difference between the two is that the first lens  1  has the positive refracting power, and is the concave-convex lens. The magnification side surface  12  in the first lens  1  is the concave surface, and the reduction side surface  14  is the convex surface. The second lens  2  has the negative refracting power, and is the convex-concave lens. The magnification side surface  22  in the second lens  2  is the concave surface, and the reduction side surface  24  is the convex surface. In addition, parameters such as the optical data and the spacing of each of the elements of the first lens  1 , the second lens  2 , the third lens  3 , and the fourth lens  4  are not completely the same. 
     In the second embodiment of the disclosure, EFL of the optical lens OL is 16.86 mm. The F-number (F #) is 1.41. The field of view (FOV) is 30.8 degrees. TTL is 60.2 mm. The maximum image height is 4.4 mm. Other detailed optical data of the optical lens OL in the second embodiment of the disclosure are shown in Table 2 below.

     In this embodiment, LT is 33.992 mm. The ratio of EFL to LT is 0.496. In this embodiment, the ratio of the inner diameter of the aperture  0  to the diameter of the third lens  3  is 0.389. In addition, in this embodiment, the refractive indices of the first lens  1 , the second lens  2 , the third lens  3 , and the fourth lens  4  are all greater than 1.6, and the refractive indices of the first lens  1 , the third lens  3 , and the fourth lens  4  are all greater than 1.9. 
     Referring to  FIGS.  4 A and  4 B , the field curvature aberration in  FIG.  4 A  indicates that the field curvature aberration of the wavelength in the entire field of view falls within ±20 μm. The distortion aberration in  FIG.  4 B  shows that the distortion aberration of the second embodiment is maintained within a range of ±6%. In light of the above, in this embodiment, the optical performance is still good when the number of lenses is reduced to 4, and the system length is shortened to 60.2 mm. 
     The relevant optical values of the optical lens OL in this embodiment are listed in detail in Table 4 attached later. 
       FIG.  5    is a schematic view of an optical lens according to the third embodiment of the disclosure.  FIGS.  6 A and  6 B  are views of various aberrations of the optical lens in the third embodiment. Referring to  FIG.  5    first, the third embodiment of the optical lens OL of the disclosure is substantially similar to the first embodiment. A difference between the two is that the third lens  3  has the negative refracting power, and is the convex-concave lens. The magnification side surface  32  in the third lens  3  is the concave surface, and the reduction side surface  34  is the convex surface. In addition, the parameters such as the optical data and the spacing of each of the elements of the first lens  1 , the second lens  2 , the third lens  3 , and the fourth lens  4  are not completely the same. 
     In the third embodiment of the disclosure, EFL of the optical lens OL is 16.80 mm. The F-number (F #) is 1.40. The field of view (FOV) is 30.8 degrees. TTL is 60.2 mm.
