Acuña-Romo Lens
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
- Daniel Malacara Hernández presents an approximate design of a spherical aberration-free lens with two aspherical surfaces.
- Psang Dain Lin and Chung-Yu Tsai obtain the spherical aberration-free lens design from the numerical solution of a system of non-linear equations. .[1]
- Juan Camilo Valencia Estrada shows an analytical solution to the problem for certain particular cases
- Rafael G. González-Acuña and Héctor A. Chaparro-Romo present the general closed form equation for the design of a lens free of spherical aberration.
Acuña-Romo equation
Illustrative examples of Acuña-Romo lenses
Biaspheric case
Negative refraction index case
The Acuña-Romo equation can be extended to the non-rotationally symmetric case.
Analogy with the parabolic mirror
The Acuña-Romo equations have an analogy with the parabolic mirror and the elliptical mirror since these mirrors are free of spherical aberration and the Acuña-Romo equation describes free lenses of spherical aberration.
