ABSTRACT:
A process for producing a holographic optical element which operates at a multiplicity of wavelengths and which has no chromatic aberration is disclosed. The achromatic holographic elements are fabricated using substantially conventional apparatus employing a technique based on the phenomenon that any two playback wavelengths will be diffracted to the same angle if their construction angles are related to each other as the inverse of the ratio of their sines. In addition, in the case of holographic lenses, if the focal points during construction are related to each other as the inverse of the ratio of the sines of their construction angles, the diffracted wavelengths will be brought to a common focal point.
