Abstract
A hybrid lens assembly that corrects for chromatic aberrations and monochromatic aberrations in passing light. A plurality of refractive lens elements are provided that are fabricated from a common refractive material. The refractive lens elements are shaped and oriented to optically correct for monochromatic aberrations. A metalens is provided. The metalens optically corrects for the chromatic aberrations. The result is a hybrid lens assembly that contains both refractive lenses and a metalens. The result is an overall lens assembly that is apochromatic yet is smaller and easier to produce than assemblies that only use refractive lenses. The metalens also corrects for wavefront errors and focal shifts that result from using refractive lens of only one material type, therein making the use of only one refractive material practical in the manufacture of lens assemblies.
