Abstract

An all-plastic high-performance eyepiece design utilizing a polymer spherical gradient-index optical element is presented. The use of a gradient-index lens in the eyepiece offers better off-axis and chromatic aberration correction, as well as overall performance improvement compared to a similar eyepiece with all homogeneous lenses.
