An achromatic lens is a lens that is designed to limit the effects of chromatic and spherical aberration,and is corrected to bring two wavelengths (typically red and blue) into focus on the same plane.The most common type of achromat is the achromatic doublet, the commonly used materials are composed of flint glass and crown glass.

  Achromatic lenses take advantage of the difference in refractive indices of glass made of different materials to compensate for different colors of light so that they can be focused at the same time as much as possible, thus eliminating chromatic aberration.


Aspheric Achromatic Lens

­Aspherized Achromats bridge the gap between color-corrected achromats and spherical aberration corrected aspheres, resulting incost effective, color corrected aspheric components. The doublet lenses consist of two cemented elements that are matched for their color-correction ability and small RMS spot size.

The second surface of the doublet is fused with a molded polymer aspheric surface. These molds create a stable aspheric contour, removing or reducing wavefront errors present in typical achromats while boosting numerical aperture. Typical applications include: fiber optic focusing or collimation, image relay, inspection, scanning and high numerical aperture imaging.



Achromatic doublet lenses

consist of two optical components cemented together to form an achromatic doublet which is computer optimized to correct for on-axis spherical and chromatic aberrations. Our achromatic doublets are available with a single layer AR coating or a broadband multi-layer coating for the visible spectrum. NIR achromatic doublets and edge blackened achromatic doublets are also available.

Optical glass triplet lens

Triplet lens is an optical device consisting of three single lenses. The triplet design is the simplest to give the required number of degrees of freedom to allow the lens designer to overcome all aberrations.


Large Diameter Standard Telescope Lens

We can supply supply the large diameter diameter standard telescope achromatic lens with AR coating at Vis, the coating layer can be Green color or Blue color as request. Such as diameter around 80-100mm and focal length 500-900mm achromatic lenses.


Applications of achromatic lenses

  1. In astronomical telescopes, achromatic lenses can provide clear images of celestial objects. It effectively reduces chromatic aberration, enabling astronomers to observe and study the characteristics of celestial objects more accurately.
  2、In medical microscopy, it can provide high-resolution images of cells and tissues to help doctors in disease diagnosis and research.
  3, For photographers, achromatic lenses can improve the quality and color reproduction of photos.
  4、In industrial inspection and measurement, achromatic lenses can provide accurate optical measurement and image analysis.
  5、In laser processing and optical communication, it can focus the laser beam to realize high-precision cutting, welding and punching processes.
  6, in optical communications, achromatic lenses can be used to couple and transmit optical signals to improve the performance and reliability of the communication system.
 
In conclusion, achromatic lenses have been widely used in many fields by virtue of their unique principle and excellent performance. With the continuous progress of science and technology, the performance of achromatic lenses will continue to improve, and the application fields will also continue to expand.
