Abstract

We study the caustic surfaces produced by a separated doublet assuming arbitrary distances between two simple lenses in order to design achromatic doublets. We have implemented an exact ray tracing considering a plane wavefront propagating along the optical axis, impinging on the first lens and being refracted through it, subsequently these rays are propagated up to the second lens and finally are refracted outside of the last one obtaining their respective caustic surface. The contribution in this work it is to provide simple formulas of the caustic surface caused by the refraction process through two separated lenses having arbitrary distances.
