“…It was stressed in Refs. [36,37] that the aberration analysis is still the key to designing superior optical systems, even when using sophisticated optimization software for optical design. The described optical system, whose parameters are calculated using procedures analyzed in Sections 2 and 3, can serve as an initial system for further optimization using optical design software, such as OSLO or ZEMAX, which is presented in examples in the following section of our work.…”

A theoretical analysis of properties of superachromatic air-spaced triplets composed of thin lenses is described in this paper. An interesting result is shown in that the superachromatic air-spaced triplet cannot simultaneously correct field curvature and transverse and longitudinal chromatic aberration. The formulas for the calculation of parameters of an air-spaced triplet are derived and the procedure for the calculation of the shape of individual lenses of the triplet is described using the third-order aberration theory. The application of the described analysis is presented in an example of the design of a superachromatic triplet.
