Abstract

Devices and methods are provided for performing color correction of focal dispersion in high-harmonic lenses. The device comprises a multi-order diffractive engineered surface (MODE) lens comprising a MODE primary lens having height transitions in the front surface that segment it into annular zones and a color corrector comprising a diffractive Fresnel lens (DFL). Polychromatic light passing through the MODE primary lens experiences LCA that is corrected by the color corrector. The color corrector can be configured to correct Type 1 LCA resulting from a combined effect of the DFL and a refractive index change versus wavelength associated with material comprising the device that together produce a change in focus of the polychromatic light, as well as Type 2 LCA resulting from a cyclic variation in focal length versus wavelength caused by the abrupt changes in the height of the front surface of the MODE primary lens at the transitions.
