CALCULATION OF THE ACHROMATIC DIFFRACTION SYSTEM WITH CORRECTED SPHERICAL ABERRATION (part 2)

Abstract

Achromatization of a three-component diffraction system consisting of one thick and two thin hologram optical elements is considered in the work. Analytical expressions are obtained for correcting the chromatic aberration of the position of a thick focusing hologram optical element by two scattering thin hologram optical elements in a given spectrum range. It is shown that achromatization is achieved for such a three-component system using two thin hologram elements located symmetrically on both sides of the thick element and having a value of the working diffraction order greater than the ratio of the focal length to the distance from the thin element to the image plane (at a given wavelength). The proposed three-component holographic system can be used to convert both an imaginary image into a real image and a real into an imaginary image in predetermined spectral regions of the visible, ultraviolet or infrared ranges of the spectrum.
