Abstract
Mirrors, lenses, devices, apparatus, systems and methods for correcting temporal dispersion of laser pulses or other pulses of electromagnetic radiation in diffractive telescopes used in applications, such as but not limited to optical telescopes, transmitters, receivers, and transceivers for laser communication and imaging. Diffractive lenses and mirrors allow for producing large area telescopes and reducing or eliminating temporal dispersion of laser pulses and other pulses of electromagnetic radiation recorded by such telescopes. This can be achieved by utilizing high efficiency thin film diffractive optical films, particularly, diffractive waveplates, and having a secondary diffractive mirror of a shape selected to assure that the propagation time from the flat primary collecting lens or mirror is independent of the position on the flat primary collecting lens or mirror at which the radiation impinges.
