title: One-radius triplets.
abstract: The one-radius triplet is an optical system that consists of three lenses. Either the radii of curvature of the lenses have the same absolute value or one radius of curvature has an infinitely large value. The advantage of such optical systems is that their production cost is less than that of systems with ordinary triplets. Here a theory of one-radius triplets is described and tables of parameters for their modification are provided. Residual aberrations are given for several selected triplets. One-radius triplets are suitable for use in laser technology and metrology.
