Objective measurements of transverse chromatic aberration (TCA) between two or more wavelengths with an adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscope (AOSLO) are very accurate, but frequent measurements are impractical in many experimental settings. Here, we demonstrate a pupil tracker that can accurately measure relative changes in TCA that are caused by small shifts in the pupil relative to the AOSLO imaging beam. Corrections for TCA caused by these shifts improve the measurement of TCA as a function of eccentricity, revealing a strong linear relationship. We propose that pupil tracking be integrated into AOSLO systems, where robust and unobtrusive control of TCA is required.

It has been known for more than 220 years that the image quality of the human eye is significantly degraded by chromatic aberrations. Recently, it was shown experimentally that correcting chromatic aberrations results in a 0.2- to 0.

However, it remains a challenge for metalenses to achieve both wide field-of-view and broadband achromatic imaging. In this work, a single-layer achromatic metalens with a wide field-of-view of 160° in the 3800 nm-4200 nm band is designed and analyzed.

Digital correction of optical aberrations allows for high-resolution imaging across the full depth range in optical coherence tomography (OCT). Many digital aberration correction (DAC) methods have been proposed in the past to evaluate and correct monochromatic error in OCT images. However, other factors that deteriorate the image quality have not been fully investigated.

Article Synopsis
- The Binocular Varichrome and Accommodation Measurement System is a new tool designed to measure and correct both longitudinal and transverse chromatic aberration (LCA and TCA) while conducting various vision tests with customized adjustments.
- The system's investigation revealed that while LCA showed some variability among individuals, it generally followed established patterns, and TCA displayed a tendency to shift toward the edges of the visual field, particularly at shorter wavelengths.
- The study concluded that correcting both LCA and TCA enhances visual acuity and contrast sensitivity, with improvements noted primarily when both types of aberration were addressed, and identified TCA as the main factor influencing chromostereopsis perception.
Metalenses are attracting a large interest for the implementation of complex optical functionalities in planar and compact devices. However, chromatic and off-axis aberrations remain standing challenges. Here, we experimentally investigate the broadband behavior of metalenses based on quadratic phase profiles.
