Feather Weight™ Color Corrected Optics


Feather Weight™ Molded Plastic Aspheric –Doublet Achromatic Optics


•   Ultimate Lightweight Achromatic Doublet
•   Incorporates Aspheric Surfaces for Correction of Spherical Aberrations

Utilizing two polymer materials with different dispersions RPO has created the ultimate lightweight achromatic lens. These lenses are cemented together and shaped so that the chromatic aberration of one element is offset by that of the other. With the addition of aspheric surfaces spherical aberrations are corrected reducing waterfront errors which are typically found in spherical achromats. Where the application is weight or cost sensitive, these optics provide a clear solution.



Feather Weight™ Molded Plastic Aspheric -Diffractive Optics

•   Corrects both Color and Spherical Aberrations
•   Diffractive Surface Provides Negative Dispersion
•   Aspheric Surface Corrects Spherical Aberrations
•   High Numerical Apertures Available

RPO’s precision molded plastic Aspheric-Diffractive lenses incorporate a diffractive surface which provides negative dispersion and corrects chromatic aberrations. With the addition of aspheric surfaces spherical aberrations are corrected. These lenses offer a lightweight high performance option for many broadband applications.
