Abstract

A diffractive lens constructed in accordance with the invention comprises a set of bands such that the diffractive gratings in each band are modified. This is done to ensure that even if the lens is tilted (e.g. to prevent light from reflecting off the lens and, introducing distortion into an optical system), the lens continues to focus light onto a small point on a target surface. (The target surface is typically an optical or magneto-optic data recording medium.)
