The equivalent lens conversion technique is applied to design achromatic doublet and aplanatic doublet. A thin doublet which has zero axial thicknesses, are corrected for the third order aberrations at first, and the thin doublet is converted into thick lens system by using the equivalent lens conversion. Two types of cemented doublets, the Fraunhofer type and the Steinheil type, are designed by using a crown glass BaK-2 and a flint glass SF-2. In the thin doublet design, there are two achromatic solutions and a aplanatic solution for the both types.

This paper presents a new method for designing a lens system stable against chromatic variation at a specified wavelength. Conventional lenses are corrected for chromatic aberration, but the new method suppresses chromatic changes of the marginal ray in the image-side. By doing so, paraxial properties of the lens system are stabilized against chromatic variation. Since the new method is based on paraxial ray tracing, the stabilizing conditions against chromatic variation are given by recurrence formulas. However, there is an analytic solution for the case of a cemented doublet in the air. A stable doublet at 405 nm wavelength is designed and analyzed.

Lens design method by using equivalent lenses was already introduced, but the method has a limitaion that all lenses should be in the air. Therefore, we often get improper solution in designing cemented lenses. In this study, the lens conversion from thick lens to equivalent lens and its reversal was generalized without any preconditions, and the third order aberration fomulrae were derived for the generalized equivalent lens system. The generalized equivalent lens conversion were applied to typical cemented doublet and triplet, and they show that the third order aberrations of the generalized equivalent lenses have better agreements with their corresponding thick lenses than the previous conversion method.

A Lister objective of NA 0.25 and 10×, stabilized against chromatic variation for a wavelength of 405 nm is designed. We develop a new solution for stabilizing a cemented doublet that has specified axial thicknesses. Using the new method, we can easily obtain a useful design for some practical purpose. At the initial design stage, two cemented doublets corrected independently are used. The stabilizing conditions for the whole system are maintained during optimization. The final design of the Lister objective shows that the chromatic variation of EFL, BFL, and RMS wavefront errors are very small at the 405-nm wavelength, as expected.

We derived analytic formulae for the correction of spherical aberration, coma, and axial color of a two-components lens system consisted of a cemented doublet and a singlet by using the thin lens approximation. The correction formulae were applied to design a telephoto lens system. We examined two kinds of glass combinations in the design, one was crown-flint-crown combination and the other was flint-crown-flint combination. We found two kinds of achromatic aplanat solutions in the crown-flint-crown combination. For the case of flint-crown-flint combination, there were also two kinds of solutions, but their configurations are not useful in practice.
