Modern Optics
Chromatic aberration is an optical phenomenon where a lens fails to focus all colors of light at the same point, resulting in a blurred or distorted image with color fringes. This issue arises from the variation in refractive index for different wavelengths of light, leading to dispersion. It is crucial to understand chromatic aberration to improve image quality and correct optical aberrations in various imaging systems.
