Abstract :
A classical method of designing lenses for minimum spherical aberration has been extended and applied to the design of thin-film waveguide lenses. The multielement lenses, with apertures up to f/3, consist entirely of planar structures. Computed performance shows good resolution over a wide range of input angles.
