Abstract
The highest possible performance in an optical design occurs when the aberrations of each element are as decoupled as possible from each other. This is achieved when each optical surface is aspheric and each element also has diffractive power in addition to refractive or reflective power. Some very simple design examples are shown with amazing performance.
