It is a graph which shows the result evaluated for every ray of 495 nm). The vertical axis represents the maximum luminance, and the horizontal axis represents the distance in the optical axis direction from the lens surface. This result shows the aberration characteristic in the optical lens. Since the refractive index of the lens medium differs depending on the wavelength of light passing therethrough, the imaging position in the depth of focus direction also differs depending on the wavelength.
- the smaller the first-order diffracted light width of each wavelength the smaller the difference in imaging position between wavelengths.
