Achromatic Lenses
JML Optical Industries
Achromatic doublets and triplets are compound lenses composed of two and three singlets. Designers often abbreviate their reference to achromatic doublets and triplets by simply calling them achromats.
The origin of the technical term "achromatic" is in the colour-corrected performance of compound lenses. They are designed to outperform singlets by all measures, but designers give special attention to the reduction of colour effects in their images. "Achromatic" literally means "without colour," and in lens design, the term refers to minimal difference of focal length between two specific wavelengths.
