Rule of Thumb For Secondary Color(For a Thin Doublet)โข Secondary color is about 1/2000th of the focal lengthโข This is a VERY useful rule of thumb to keep in mind!โข Example:
โ Customer has a 1080p format sensor (1920 x 1080 pixels)โ He asks for lateral color < 1/4th of a pixelโ Even if axial color is (somehow) perfectly corrected, lateral color is proportional to โ๐๐๐๐โ The customer is asking for lateral color to be corrected to 1 part in 7680.โ This far exceeds what can be expected with an ordinary achromat
โข The above rule of thumb is for a THIN achromat, i.e., no air space โข As we will see, systems that are not thin doublets but have substantial spaces (e.g.,
telephoto, retrofocus, etc.) are usually WORSE than 1 part in 2000

For the purpose of optical design, this is usually a much more useful concept
In most designs, longitudinal color will be corrected in the end, so it doesnโt hurt to start thinking aboutโ๐๐ ๐๐ from the very beginning
ยฉ 2017 Synopsys, Inc. 18 Optical Engineering Services
Lateral or Longitudinal?
โข Although quantities like โ๐๐ ๐๐ or โ๐๐ ๐๐ may SEEM like longitudinal quantities, the correlate better to lateral color than to longitudinal color!
โข A system with a non-zero value of โ๐๐ ๐๐ has zero axial color if the chromatic variation of the principal plane locations is just right.
โข On the other hand, a system with a non-zero value of โ๐๐ ๐๐ must have a chromatic variation of the image size!

Spherochromatism
โข Variation of Spherical Aberration with apertureโข Glass Choices that work well at F/10 may not be optimal at F/2.8!
โ In fact, such glass choices are more often than not, highly problematicโ Choosing glasses for a low P difference usually means that ฮ๐๐ is smallโ Small ฮ๐๐ implies stronger elements, i.e., more spherical and more spherochromatism
โข The same is usually true for three-glass apochromats

Sensitivity to Thermal Shock
โข The FK and PK glasses are extremely sensitive to thermal shockโ Some fabricators have worked out procedures for dealing with thisโ Others havenโt:
โ โOh, thatโs the glass that breaks when you touch it! We canโt work with that glass, youโll have to redesign the system.โ
โ Think about the application: will the sensitive glasses be exposed to sudden changes in temperature?

Thermal Expansion Mismatch
โข Be careful about thermal expansion mismatch in cemented doubletsโ The FK and PK glasses have very high Coefficients of Thermal Expansion (CTEs)โฆ be careful what
you cement them to!

Thermal Expansion Mismatch in Cemented Elements
โข How much mismatch is allowed between the Coefficients of Thermal Expansion (CTEs) in a cemented doublet?
How much shear is generated here because the crown element expands more than the flint?
Will the cement fail (de-laminate) because of the shear stress?
Will it pull the glass apart?

Default Thermal Shear Limit in Glass Expert (CODE V)
โข The Default Setting in Glass Expert is intended to help, but does not guarantee that you will not have problems.
โข By default, Glass Expert will avoid cement layers with radial shear of more than 0.1 ยตm per degree Celsius. (The 0.1 value can be changed by the user)โ Over a ยฑ50ยบC Temperature range, this allows a maximum shear of 5 ยตm.โ Note that this is not simply a limit on ฮ(CTE); it also takes the diameter into account, with smaller
elements being allowed larger ฮ(CTE) values.โข Will the cement layer tolerate 5 ยตm of shear? Itโs complicated!
โ If it is an โordinary-lookingโ doublet with a relatively thin flint element, the shear stress causes the doublet to bend, and neither the glass nor the cement fails
โ If the two elements are unusually thick, then they are too stiff to bend, and a failure is likely!โ We have seen a โHastings Tripletโ fail, for similar reasons

ยฉ 2017 Synopsys, Inc. 25 Optical Engineering Services
Glass Expert CTE Checking
โข It is important to realize that Glass Expert only limits the CTE mismatch when it makes a glass substitution.
โข If the initial lens has a CTE mismatch problem, and Glass Expert does not make a substitution for either glass, then the output lens will still have a CTE mismatch problem!
Always ensure that the starting lens for Glass Expert meets the CTE mismatch criterion you have entered.
If the starting lens does not meet the criterion, the ending lens might also not meet it.

Primary and Secondary Colors Are Both Corrected!
โข The equations say that if we correct for primary color, then secondary color is automatically corrected!
โข This happens because both ๐๐ and P factor out of the equations, because it is a one-glass system.
โข Once ๐๐ and P are factored out of the equations, the solution holds for ANY glass! โ The equation can be solved for any glass, and the solution is the same for all glassesโ The only requirement is that the two elements be made of the same glass!โ Note that because of the factoring, the solution for secondary color is exact.

All solutions have a virtual image.

Conclusion:
โข The Schuppmann system appeared to violate the equation for correction of secondary color, because the colors separated from each other
โข This makes perfect sense:โ At the rear element, the beam diameters for blue and red are different, and the y-values are differentโ We should expect that the chromatic aberration, in the neighborhood of blue, would be different than
the chromatic aberration in the neighborhood of red. This is a way of describing secondary colorโข Secondary chromatic aberration is โinducedโ at the rear element because of uncorrected
primary color in the front elementโข The chromatic splitting of rays induces secondary color in elements downstreamโข We reduced this effect by using a lens module to bring the colors back together again
โข More important: we can make use of induced secondary color to correct the residual secondary color of a system!

Conclusion
โข Certain systems (telephoto, retrofocus) appear to be difficult to correct for secondary color (at least if the individual groups are achromatic)โฆ
โข While other system types (e.g., the Cooke triplet) appear easier to correctโข Correctability of secondary color is very much configuration dependent!โข This is a good opportunity to use GS to find the good configurations!

Does the Spec for Lateral Color Make Sense?
โข Rule of thumb: correcting lateral color to less than 1:2000 (or even 1:1000) can be trickyโข Does the customerโs spec make sense?
โ Warren Smith: โAlways challenge your customerโs specifications.โ
โข The customer should have a good justification for asking for:โ Lateral color < 1 pixel (particularly if the pixels arenโt going to be resolvable by the viewer)โ Lateral color < 1 Airy Disk radius โ Lateral color < 1 arcmin in a visual system
โข Note that once the lateral color spec is smaller than the system resolution, its meaning becomes blurred
โข Some crazy requests we have encountered:โ Lateral color < 0.1 pixelโ Lateral color < 0.05 Airy Disk radiusโ Lateral color well below the resolution of the eye
โข In all cases, the customer had a good reason, but we made them explain it to us!

A Real System, Designed for Very Low Visibility of Secondary Color
The customer wanted the lateral color to โnot be visibleโ for cosmetic reasons.
Initially they tried to specify a small value for lateral color; unfortunately, even very small amounts of lateral color are visible, as color changes around the boundary of the white pixel.
Quantifying this is a question of chromaticity, not microns
From the designerโs point of view, what is necessary is not only that the lateral color be very small, but that the chromatic variation of aberrations also be small.

Using Induced Aberrations to Reduce Secondary ColorHow to do itHow dangerous is it?
OSC Lecture: Color Correction
ยฉ 2017 Synopsys, Inc. 72 Optical Engineering Services
Sensitivity
โข Designs whose elements have large individual aberrations that balance each other tend to be sensitive to tolerancesโ Errors is radius, thickness and index disturb the numerical balance of the aberrationsโ Misalignments of the elements cause the aberration fields to be misaligned
โ Misaligned spherical aberration causes coma on axisโ Misaligned longitudinal color causes lateral color on axis
โข As a general rule, it is advisable to avoid designs with large individual element contributionsโ (But sometimes it cannot be avoided)

โข Which of the following is better, after tolerances are considered?โ A design with secondary color extremely well corrected using uncorrected individual elements
โ Extremely well corrected for secondary colorโ But tolerance sensitive
โ A design with every element turned into an achromatic doubletโ Such a design has NO induced secondary colorโ But it has intrinsic secondary color of the individual achromatsโ This design should be less tolerance sensitive

not matter, and the system with the better as-designed performance winsโ For extremely loose tolerances, the tolerance-induced aberrations overwhelm the as-designed
performance, and the system with the lower tolerance sensitivity winsโ A meaningful comparison can only be obtained using realistic tolerances
โข We defined โrealisticโ tolerances as meaning those that caused a 30% increase in RMS wavefront error in the all-achromat designโ Starting with loose, โdrop-inโ level tolerances, we identified and tightened tolerance types until we
reduced the increase in RMS wavefront to 30%โ For simplicity, we applied all tolerances of a given type (radii, decenters, etc.) uniformly across all

Conclusions
โข The induction of secondary color is a powerful design toolโข It tends to increase the tolerance sensitivity of the systemโข In the system studied, the design that used uncorrected, separated elements to correct secondary
was so much better, that with reasonable tolerances, it still had better performance than the all achromat design
โข Recommended procedure:โ Optimize with Global Synthesis and Fictitious Glasses
โ Use WTC constraints on SN2 to minimize sensitivityโ Use ATC, ATE constraints to keep the design realistic
โ Use Glass Fit to Replace Fictitious Glasses with Real Glassesโ Replace them all at once (donโt bother to re-optimize between replacements)โ Check to be sure there are no CTE violations; change glasses if needed
โ Use Glass Expert to improve the glass choicesโ Use WTC constraints on SN2 to minimize sensitivityโ Use ATC, ATE constraints to keep the design realistic
โ Consider re-optimizing locally with SAB
