Athermalization of a single-component lens with diffractive optics

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We describe a design method to athermalize a single-material lens element by using a kinoform on one surface to keep its focal length and aberrations constant with temperature. We diamond turned and thermally tested a plastic athermat and compared it to an uncompensated conventional lens.
