Chromatic correction of a Fresnel lens is effected by collecting data at
multiple detectors arrayed along the optical axis of the lens and then
digitally processing data from each detector to obtain multiple sets of
image data corresponding to selected tuned wavelengths associated with
the multiple detectors, or to obtain composite multi-color image data.
Digital processing includes deconvolving data from each detector with a
point spread function (PSF) associated with the tuned wavelength of the
detector, and thereby enhancing the image derived from the detector. Two
possible techniques are also disclosed for deriving sub-band signal data
having a wavelength that falls between the tuned wavelengths of adjacent
detectors.
