Abstract

Diffractive waveplate lenses, mirrors, devices, systems and methods for performing imaging over a broad spectral band in imaging systems, such as but not limited to astronomical imaging, surveillance imaging, and in communication systems, such as laser communication systems. Corrector mirrors are used with a flat diffractive wave diffractive waveplate lens so that chromatic aberrations of the diffractive waveplate lens are reduced with the imaging system.
