Abstract

Recent advances in the manufacturing of large (up to 62 mm diameter) glass blanks with axial index gradients of up to 0.20 enable significant performance gains in optical designs. The new axial gradient material has an index and dispersion similar to SF (short flint) glasses, except the index varies continuously through the axis of the blank. The axial gradient material and numerous design examples using the new material are presented.
