Method of glass selection for color correction in optical system design.
A method of glass selection for the design of optical systems with reduced chromatic aberration is presented. This method is based on the unification of two previously published methods adding new contributions and using a multi-objective approach. This new method makes it possible to select sets of compatible glasses suitable for the design of super-apochromatic optical systems. As an example, we present the selection of compatible glasses and the effective designs for all-refractive optical systems corrected in five spectral bands, with central wavelengths going from 485 nm to 1600 nm.
