Abstract:In contrast to conventional optical systems, which are optimized for wavelength-independent imaging, hyperchromats aim for strongly wavelength-dependent focal lengths. In this contribution, the design parameters of hyperchromatic two-lens optical systems were derived that provide strong axial color splitting expressed by extremely low equivalent Abbe numbers. These systems have been investigated for compositions of either pure refractive or all diffractive lenses, as well as hybrid configurations thereof. Firs… Show more
