Isn’t the layer caused by the former? For a given required refraction, isn’t the chromatic dispersion the same?
In complex lenses corrections can be made, but for a simple single eyeglass lens, how is chromatic dispersion affected by anything apart from simple refraction?
- namibj 2y agoNo, chromatic dispersion is due to wavelength/chroma dependant refraction. This is a separate thing from the overall/average index of refraction.
