Chromatic aberrations of radial gradient-index lenses. II. Selfoc lenses

Simple equations used for analyzing chromatic aberrations of Selfoc lenses were derived in terms of Buchdahl chromatic coordinates and Buchdahl dispersion constants. The equations that employ gradient-index chromatic constants Ψ(1) and Ψ(2) are used for selecting suitable ion-exchange pairs to design an achromatic Selfoc lens.
