ABSTRACT:
An optical system providing multiple wavelength dependent optical paths and using graded index of refraction optical elements is disclosed. The dimensions of the graded index of refraction optical elements are selected such that each optical path is one focusing length. Dichroic elements are utilized to differentiate between the optical paths on a wavelength basis.
