Diffractive-refractive hybrid doublet to achromatize the human eye

Abstract In this work, we show the design of a diffractive-refractive hybrid doublet to achromatize the human eye. It takes advantage of the achromatizing properties of diffractive elements combined with conventional optics. The performance of the doublet has been compared with conventional systems, which have more elements. The results show that it is a useful alternative to those systems.
