ABSTRACT:
A variable aberration imaging optical system comprises an imaging optical system and an optical device disposed in the optical system and capable of controlling the imaging characteristic of the imaging optical system. The optical device has a medium for forming an index gradient therein by heat, and a device for imparting heat to a desired position on the medium.
