AI Article Synopsis
- The text describes a new hybrid optical objective that combines two inhomogeneous materials with a spherical surface, enhancing imaging capabilities.
- It features microstructures of diffractive lenses on its flat external surfaces, which contribute to its performance.
- Notably, this design efficiently addresses third- and fifth-order aberrations, achieving a Rayleigh resolution of 1 microm.
Article Abstract
We present what we believe is a new hybrid objective consisting of a gradient-index optical element that has external flat refracting surfaces and is made of two different inhomogeneous materials separated by a cemented spherical surface. Microstructures of diffractive lenses are placed on the flat external surfaces of the objective. The most surprising property of this objective is that even calculation in the area of the third- and the fifth-order aberrations yields an efficient design for imaging with a Rayleigh resolution of 1 microm.
