Single aplanatic homogeneous refracting waveguide lenses without field curvature

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Wave analysis of the field curvature of single aplanatic homogeneous refracting planar waveguide lenses has been carried out. It is shown that at a sufficiently high value of the relative refractive index there is an optimal lens thickness, which leads to the absence of field curvature in a certain range of angles of incidence of the input beam. Numerical calculations carried out for the lens with an f-number of 4 and a relative refractive index of 1.050 show that field curvature is absent in the range of angles of ±4° for a lens thickness of 2.05 mm.
