A beam splitter/path length compensator assembly for use in a color imaging assembly, comprising a beam splitter for splitting a polychromatic imaging light beam into a plurality of color component beams, and an integrally formed, transparent path length compensator device for differentially adjusting the focus distances of the color component beams. The beam splitter is encased within the path length compensator device. A color imaging assembly utilizing the beam splitter/path length compensator assembly for forming spatially separated, color component images of an object on a unitary image plane is also disclosed. A method for producing a beam splitter/path length compensator assembly is also disclosed. An optical assembly utilizing a beam combiner/path length compensator assembly for spatially and spectrally combining a plurality of color component optical beams into a combined optical beam having a unitary optical axis is also disclosed.
