Abstract
A method that permits aberration correction and wave-front reshaping with a diffractive optical element (DOE) is described. Two aligned DOE's made of two different dispersive materials are used. The different dispersions of t he two materials in addition to freedom in choosing their thicknesses enabl es the chromatic aberration and the wave fronts to be manipulated. Design a nd simulation of such DOE's are described. (C) 1999 Optical Society of Amer ica.
