An achromatic lens, often called an achromat, is a type of optical lens capable of correcting chromatic aberration, a distortion that occurs when glass splits white light into multiple ...

Scientists have developed a ground-breaking achromatic lens for X-rays. This allows the X-ray beams to be accurately focused on a single point even if they have different wavelengths. The new lens ...

Techspec MgF2-coated achromatic lenses from Edmund Opticsnow include F/1 versions and smaller diameters. Comprising two opticalcomponents cemented together to form an achromatic doublet, ...

Using 3D printing and porous silicon, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed compact, visible wavelength achromats that are essential for miniaturized and ...

Edmund Optics® (EO), the premier provider of optical components, introduces its new TECHSPEC® Infrared (IR) Achromatic Lenses. These lenses are designed to provide impressive near diffraction-limited ...

The Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) has developed the first single lens that can focus the entire visible spectrum of light — including white light — in the same spot and in ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Planar optical components are crucial to realize miniaturized optical systems and integrated optoelectronic devices. In particular, metasurfaces – 2D structured materials with ...
