TLDR
The requirements for the achromatization of an irradiance distribution which is a function of a space coordinate multiplied by wavelength raised to a power are shown and the theory is applied to the following problems: achrom atization of Newton's ring patterns and Fraunhofer diffraction patterns and frequency plane.Abstract:
This paper shows the requirements for the achromatization of an irradiance distribution which is a function of a space coordinate multiplied by wavelength raised to a power. The particular requirements for achromatic Fourier transformation are then presented. The theory is applied to the following problems: achromatization of Newton’s ring patterns and Fraunhofer diffraction patterns and frequency plane filtering of an object illuminated with a broadband light source. Experimental systems that perform these functions are presented.read more

Diffraction theory for an achromatic Fourier transformation
TL;DR: A three-lens achromatic Fourier transform system is analyzed in the context of paraxial Fresnel diffraction theory and it is found that this system design yields an a chromatic transformation that is well corrected over the entire visible spectrum.

Analytic design of hybrid diffractive-refractive achromats.
TL;DR: An analytic design of hybrid achromats that combine refractive and diffractive elements is presented and the residual spherochromatic aberrations of the achromat are evaluated both analytically and numerically, with good agreement between the results.

Achromatic fourier transforming properties of a separated diffractive lens doublet: theory and experiment.
TL;DR: The strong chromatic distortion associated with diffractive optical elements is fully exploited to achieve an achromatic optical Fourier transformation under broadband point-source illumination by means of an air-spaced diffractive lens doublet.

Operational notation for the analysis and synthesis of optical data-processing systems
TL;DR: An operational notation is described that characterizes basic optical elements as block diagrams and that, for bandlimited optical systems, gives results identical to those obtained by rigorous application of the Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction formula.
