Achromatic Lens is an achromatic consists of a positive low-index
Crown Glass lens element cemented to a negative high-index Flint
Glass lens element. The elements are chosen so as to cancel
chromatic aberration at two well-separated wavelengths, usually in
the blue and red region of the spectrum. Focal length is constant
at those two wavelengths and focal length shifts are virtually
eliminated across the visible wavelengths. One frequent use is to
achieve diffraction limited focusing of a laser beam.
Negative Achromats are typically used when there is a need to
eliminate chromatic aberration. In addition to reducing chromatic
aberration at the design wavelengths, spherical aberration and coma
are greatly reduced.
