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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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