An Achromatic lens, also known as an Achromat, typically consists of two optical components cemented together. Usually a positive low index element and a negative high index element that are optimized to correct for on axis spherical and chromatic aberrations. Achromatic lenses will provide smaller spot sizes and superior image quality than a comparable singlet lens. This makes them ideal for imaging and broadband focusing applications.
