Product catalog summary
Overview of Achromatic Lenses
The achromatic lens, also known as a complex lens, is constructed by bonding two or three different types of glass, typically crown glass and flint glass. This design aims to minimize chromatic aberration by combining a low dispersion positive lens with a high dispersion negative lens. The optimization process focuses on three specific wavelengths: blue (486.1nm), green (546.1nm), and red (656.3nm), allowing these lenses to produce sharper images across the visible light spectrum compared to single element lenses.
Characteristics of Achromatic Lenses
  • Materials: Crown glass and Flint glass
  • Dimensions: Lens1 has a diameter range of 10 to 150mm, while Lens2 ranges from 10 to 100mm
  • Tolerance: Diameter tolerance is +0/-0.1mm for both lenses, with a thickness tolerance of +/-0.1mm
  • Centering: Less than 3 arc minutes for both lenses
  • Chamfer/Bevel: 0.25x45°, fine ground for both lenses
  • Surface Accuracy: 3/0.5 @633nm for both lenses
  • Surface Quality: 40/20 for both lenses
  • Clear Aperture: Greater than 85% for both lenses
  • Coating: Anti-reflective coatings are available, with customization options

CreatorOptics custom Achromatic Lenses-1

Achromatic Lenses The achromatic lens is glued from two or three different glass, crown glass and flint glass. It is also called complex lens. The achromatic dual-glue lens is a kind of chromatic aberration lens which is bonded by the low dispersion coronation glass positive lens and the high dispersion flint glass negative lens. During design process, at three wavelengths of blue ( 486.1nm ), green ( 546.1nm ) and red ( 656.3nm ), the dispersion of different values and lens shapes is optimized to achieve a minimum chromatic aberration. Such achromatic lenses can be used throughout the visible light region. Their ability of producing sharper images is superior to that of the single element lens.
