  Achromatic Doublets
Achromatic doublets are the simplest form of compound lens.
Achromats are corrected for on-axis chromatic and spherical aberration making them good for broadband collimation and focusing.
These achromatic doublets are made from either crown and flint optical glasses.

 Quadrupole singlet focusing for achromatic parallel-to-parallel devices - Patent 4455489
Achromatic optical elements are essential in commercial and medical therapeutic irradiation systems because the primary attribute for such operations is the relatively high beam intensity and control thereof.
It is a necessary and sufficient condition for an achromatic deflection element that momentum dispersive trajectory d.sub.x (initial central trajectory direction, having a magnitude of P.sub.0 +.DELTA.P) is dispersed and brought to parallelism with the central trajectory P.sub.0 at the midpoint deflection angle.alpha..sub.1 +.alpha..sub.2, that is, at the symmetry plane.
Further, the trajectory of particles initially displaced from, and parallel with trajectory P.sub.0 (in the bending plane) are focused to a cross-over with trajectory P.sub.0 at the symmetry plane.

 ARRI Lens Tutorial - What is an Achromatic Lens Assembly?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
An achromatic assembly is a group of lenses designed to compensate for various unwanted optical effects.
Achromatic assemblies are used in most modern cine lenses.
Achromatic assemblies are particularly good at compensating for chromatic aberration, an optical effect that can be seen as color fringing in the image, usually at high contrast edges.

For an achromatic doublet, visible wavelengths have approximately the same focal length.
The use of achromats was an important step in the development of the optical microscope.
An alternative to achromatic doublets is the use of diffractive optical elements.

 Achromatic Lens - Doublets
Achromatic doublet lenses have significantly better optical performance than singlet lenses in visible imaging and laser beam manipulation applications.
Achromatic Lenses are consist of two elements, usually of a positive low-index crown glass cemented to a negative high-index flint glass that have been corrected for chromatic aberration with respect to two selected wavelengths in the blue and red region of the spectrum.
One frequent use of Achromatic Lens is to achieve diffraction limited focusing of a laser beam.

 Sphæra issue no. 8: article 5   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
It is the original manuscript of the rebuttal prepared by Peter Dollond to Jesse Ramsden's charge that John Dollond took the idea of the achromatic telescope from the previous work of Chester Moor Hall, having learnt of it through an encounter with the optician George Bass.
John Dollond's famous paper on achromatic combinations of lenses was read at the Royal Society in June 1758 and published in the Philosophical Transactions the same year.
Ramsden's paper was King's source for the account of Hall ordering crown and flint components for an achromatic doublet separately from Edward Scarlett and James Mann, and of each of them independently sub-contracting their order to George Bass, who was thus able to discover the secret.

 Stellarvue 80mm Achromatic Refractors
I own two achromatic Stellarvue telescopes, the 80/9D and the Nighthawk that I use for visual observation.
While the explanation of the optical design and performance distinctions between apochromatic and achromatic refractors is best left as an exercise for the reader, one additional important fact is that the former are usually far more expensive than the latter.
The better of the two telescopes is the 80/9D, solely on the basis of optical performance at the eyepiece and largely because physics decrees that a longer focal length is inherently more forgiving with respect to the optical shortcomings of achromatic telescopes in bringing all wavelengths of visible light to the same focal point.

A comparison of the BOLD fMRI response to achromatic, L/M opponent and S-cone opponent cardinal stimuli in human visual cortex: II.
The appropriate contrast metric for the comparison of color and luminance sensitivity is unknown and so we made the comparison using both a perceptual match between stimuli (in multiples of detection threshold), a direct contrast match (in cone contrast).
This is in contrast to a region in the ventral occipital cortex (beyond V4v) that exhibited stronger fMRI signals to chromatic compared to achromatic stimuli.

 Achromatic telescope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The achromatic telescope is a refracting telescope that is constructed to correct for chromatic aberration.
In the achromatic doublet, one of the lenses is normally made of Flint glass, giving it a relatively high index of refraction, while the other if made of Crown glass with a lower index of refraction.
An apochromatic refractor is a variant of the achromatic refracting telescope that uses an arrangement of three or more lenses to correct for chromatic aberration, while also minimizing other types of aberrations that can occur.

Observers were shown six-region stimulus displays similar to those used by R. Kasrai and F. Kingdom (2001) and made adjustments of the color and luminance attributes of one of the filter regions to achieve the best percept of transparency.
In Experiment 1, we measured reliability for achromatic, L, superimposed luminance with color, L + C, and superimposed luminance with polarity-reversing color, L + iC.
In Experiment 3, we manipulated the transmittance of the achromatic and chromatic filters separately and investigated how this influences the settings made for each attribute.

Chromatic aberration of a lens is seen as fringes of color around the image.
It can be minimised by using an achromatic doublet (or achromat) in which two materials with differing dispersion are bonded together to form a single lens.
An apochromat is a lens or lens system which has even better correction of chromatic aberration, combined with improved correction of spherical aberration.
