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 µm.

Abstract
We show the possibility of simultaneously eliminating all third- and fifth-order monochromatic aberrations by using an objective consisting of three cemented lenses with radial distribution of refractive indices. We present design procedures for removal of these aberrations and reduction of residual higher-order aberrations.

  • ABSTRACT

    At present time the serious problem of safety guaranteeing of automobile transport movement control in conditions of limited optical visibility (fog, snow, rain, dust, smoke and the like) is the creation of radar systems for prevention of collisions with obstacles, located on the road. One of the cardinal directions of the decision of this problem is the development of a front survey automobile imaging radar (AIR). This system is forming the images of a car, road and various objects, located on a road and near it. For the AIR of this types, some difficult additional problems can be solved. One of the important requirement to the radioimages formed by the AIR of the third type is the quality of forming radioimages. In ideals the quality of radioimages can be equal to optical images, because AR must not only to determinate availability of the obstacle, but to recognized and identificated it too. The conducted theoretical and first experimental investigations have shown that the radar images of obstacles formed by radar are characterized by the non-stability of the radioimages, which can not permit to identificated and recognized the targets. Unsteadies of the car radar imaging in dynamics are analyzing and discussed in this paper. The methods of the decreasing of the radar imaging unsteadies such as isotropic and wide-band methods are discussed.

    Abstract:
    Aberration properties and correction capabilities of objectives containing two or three cemented radial gradient- index lenses are analyzed. It is shown that the simplest radial gradient-index system, which can be corrected for all third-order monochromatic aberrations, is the cemented doublet with flat external and spherical cemented surfaces. Aberration properties of the cemented component made of two different inhomogeneous materials and having only four flat surfaces are analogous. It is also shown that the simplest radial gradient-index system, which can be simultaneously corrected for all third- and fifth-order monochromatic aberrations, is the cemented triplet made of three different inhomogeneous materials and having spherical surfaces. The methods and examples of aberrations-free objectives design are given.

    Publication: Proc. SPIE Vol. 1732, p. 48-55, Holographics International '92, Yuri N. Denisyuk; Frank Wyrowski; Eds.
    Publication Date: 03/1993

    Abstract:
    The optical hybrid systems, i.e., systems containing the optical elements of different types (diffractive and gradient-index lenses), are considered. The corrective scope of two- and three-element hybrid objectives are investigated. It is shown that the two-element objective may be corrected for all monochromatic third-order aberrations. It is possible in a wide range of relations between optical powers diffractive and gradient-index lenses. It allows us to reduce the space frequency of the structure of the diffractive lens and to decrease the magnitude of the refractive index change of gradient-index lens. In addition, the correction of various fifth-order aberrations may be achieved in this case too. As a result this objective forms the image with high resolution and a wide linear field in the image space. The three-element hybrid objective consists of one diffractive and two gradient-index lenses. This objective has symmetric configuration and unit magnification. It is shown that in such an objective, which is free from all third-order aberrations, it's possible to eliminate simultaneously three out of the four different even fifth-order aberrations. In particular, the validity of this result is conserved if the optical power of the diffractive element is equal to zero. The design of a three-element hybrid objective is given. The resulting designs are compared with homogeneous objectives.

    Publication Date: 04/1992

    Abstract:
    Systems for reading data from optical disks are suggested. In these systems a diffractive lens simultaneously executes the functions of a focusing objective and the dispersive element of dynamical autofocusing device. The design of diffractive lens structure is given for two cases. In the first case the objective focusing semiconductor laser emission consists of a single diffractive lens. In the second case, it consists of a diffractive and homogeneous lens with spherical surfaces. When designing the diffractive lens structure, one must consider that semiconductor lasers have a heat instability of emission frequency and emission wavelength spread from one sample to another.
