Abstract

Diffractive lenses are expected to improve a chromatic aberration and a field curvature of optical systems. However, for capturing a color image, the quality of the image is reduced due to unnecessary diffractive light. This paper shows a novel diffraction grating lens with nanocomposite material, and the design method of the lens for imaging use.
