An ideal achromatic fourier processor
Abstract
Paraxial solutions for the dispersive lens powers that are needed to achromatize the image in a spatially-coherent achromatic Fourier processor are derived using diffraction theory. The operational features of a specific processor layout are illustrated with a paraxial ray trace.
