Abstract
Many have suggested the use of diffractive optics as color correctors in the IR, some have never built such devices. Plastic aspheric eyepieces are lighter weight than conventional glass spherical optics due to plastics smaller specific gravity and the superior correction of aspheres, which allows for fewer elements.
