General formula for bi-aspheric singlet lens design free of spherical aberration.
@article{GonzlezAcua2018GeneralFF, title={General formula for bi-aspheric singlet lens design free of spherical aberration.}, author={Rafael G. Gonz{\'a}lez-Acu{\~n}a and H{\'e}ctor A. Chaparro-Romo}, journal={Applied optics}, year={2018}, volume={57 31}, pages={ 9341-9345 } }
In this paper, we present a rigorous analytical solution for the bi-aspheric singlet lens design problem. The input of the general formula presented here is the first surface of the singlet lens; this surface must be continuous and such that the rays inside the lens do not cross each other. The output is the correcting second surface of the singlet; the second surface is such that the singlet is free of spherical aberration.
