achromatic lens


An achromatic lens is a type of optical lens that is designed to minimize the effects of chromatic aberration. Chromatic aberration occurs because different wavelengths of light refract at slightly different angles when passing through a lens, leading to a focus imbalance where the image is blurred and colors are misaligned. This is particularly problematic in lenses made from a single type of glass, as they cannot bring all colors into focus at the same point.

He Rui optics' achromatic doublets are optimized to provide a nearly constant focal length across a broad bandwidth. This is accomplished by utilizing a multi-element design to minimize the chromatic aberration of the lens. Dispersion in the first (positive) element of the doublet is corrected by the second (negative) element, resulting in better broadband performance than spherical singlets or aspheric lenses.

He Rui optics'spherical doublet lenses have been corrected for various aberrations, including spherical aberration, chromatic aberration, and coma. One way of displaying the theoretical level of correction is through plots of wavefront error and ray traces to determine spot size.

He Rui optics’achromatic triplets are designed to provide an infinite conjugate ratio and are useful for focusing collimated beams and for magnification
